The cryptocurrency market saw a significant movement today, with Bitcoin crossing the $71,000 mark and Dogecoin surging over 15%. The surge comes as betting odds favour Donald Trump’s chances in the upcoming U.S. presidential election. Dogecoin's price, fuelled by Elon Musk’s playful association with Trump’s campaign, highlighted how political sentiment is increasingly intertwined with crypto trends. As Election Day nears, the heightened volatility is expected to continue, drawing attention from traders looking to leverage this unusual convergence of politics and cryptocurrency.
