<p>On Sunday, September 15, 2024, a second assassination attempt was perpetrated against Donald Trump while he was playing golf at his club in Palm Beach, Florida. Although Trump escaped this attack unhurt, the incident caused panic in financial markets, particularly the cryptocurrency market. Unlike the first assassination attempt which <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/bitcoin-at-63000-what-is-the-connection-to-the-attack-on-trump/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">led to a rise in BTC</a>, this second attack caused a significant drop in Bitcoin.</p>

<p>Before the incident, BTC was trading around $60,000. However, after the news of the attack, its value quickly fell to about $58,340. This 2.74% drop reflects the uncertainty and volatility that often characterize the crypto market in response to major geopolitical events. At the time of writing this article, Bitcoin is hovering around <a href="https://fr.tradingview.com/symbols/BTCUSD/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$58,797</a>, with a decline of 0.53%.</p>

<h2 id="h-a-crypto-market-grappling-with-uncertainties">A crypto market grappling with uncertainties&nbsp;</h2> 
<p>Analysts attribute this drop to several factors. Firstly, the political uncertainty surrounding Trump’s security, a polarizing figure, created an atmosphere of nervousness among investors. Additionally, the reaction of traditional financial markets, which also showed signs of volatility, amplified the impact on Bitcoin.</p> 
<p>It is important to note that cryptocurrencies, although often perceived as decentralized assets independent of political events, can be strongly influenced by major incidents. The market’s reaction to this assassination attempt is a clear example.</p> 
<p>Donald Trump, who <a href="https://www.cointribune.com/en/donald-trump-launches-his-crypto-platform-world-liberty-financial-on-september-16/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">will launch his crypto platform, World Liberty Financial</a>, this Monday, September 16, 2024, has just undergone a second assassination attempt. This event, which led to the fall of Bitcoin, reminds us how political stability plays a significant role in the crypto market.</p>
