Bitcoin soars to two-week high after Trump attack

Quick Summary:

SINGAPORE: Bitcoin surged to a two-week high on Monday after the attempted assassination of U.S.presidential candidate Donald Trump raised the odds of the former president, who has presented himself as a champion of cryptocurrency, winning the upcoming election.

Trump said he was shot in the ear during the attack at a rally in Pennsylvania on Saturday.

It fell to an over four month low in early July as traders fretted over the likely dumping of tokens from defunct Japanese exchange Mt.Gox.
