"Hopefully the BTC price will go higher after this debate is over."
The price of cryptocurrency king Bitcoin (BTC) at the opening of the Asian market session today strengthened again to $62,145 amid the ongoing presidential debate between Republican Donald Trump and Democratic President Joe Biden.
This is because crypto market players are currently watching the discussion of crypto in the debate.
So here it can be seen that investors want to see if Trump will deal with the issues around BTC today plus he is increasingly positive towards the digital asset and it should be known that Biden's support can also drive the price of BTC to rise.
Biden and Trump reportedly traded attacks on abortion and his handling of the economy early in their debate, but Biden not only sounded hoarse and tentative but also stumbled over his words at times.
While Trump launched one attack after another including several falsehoods and claims that immigrants have opened a crime wave as well as Democrats supporting infanticide.
The two candidates appeared without a live audience and had their microphones cut off automatically when it was their turn to speak, seeking to avoid the uproar that marred their first debate in 2020 as Trump repeatedly interrupted Biden.
As of this writing, BTC price has surged by 1.71% at $61,912 in the past 24 hours with a market cap of $1.2 trillion but is still down 4.71% over the past week.
