Former President Donald Trump survived a second assassination attempt on September 15 while playing golf at his West Palm Beach course. The suspect, armed with an AK-47 style rifle, was spotted by Secret Service agents but managed to escape briefly before being arrested. The news of the assassination attempt shocked the political world and also had an impact on the crypto market. Bitcoin's price dropped by 3% following the incident, triggering liquidations worth $116.52 million. The decline in Bitcoin price was attributed to the uncertainty caused by the event, as many in the crypto community expect Trump to create favorable regulations for the industry. The FBI is treating the incident as an "attempted assassination," and the quick action by the Secret Service was praised by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris expressed relief that Trump was unharmed and condemned the violence, with leaders from across the political spectrum calling for an end to such attacks.
