Bitcoin surged to a two-week high after the attempted assassination of U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump increased the odds of his winning the upcoming election. The incident has boosted investor confidence in his chances, leading to increased trades betting on his victory. Bitcoin rose more than 8%, surging past $62,000, while Ether was up more than 6% above $3,300.
