Cryptocurrency market and the U.S. election: strong rises for Bitcoin and altcoins
The approaching U.S. presidential election seems to have brought considerable momentum to the crypto market.

The cryptocurrency market has seen significant growth driven by Dogecoin (DOGE), supported by Trump and Musk. So, how is the cryptocurrency market today? Let's take a look.
