These top-tier tickets are priced at the highest amount an individual can legally donate to Trump and the Republican party’s main fundraising group – Trump 47 Committee. 

Additionally, attendees can snap a photo with Trump for $60,000 per person or $100,000 per couple, as per the event invitation.  

Needless to say, many, including organizers of the event, are very excited about the possibilities.  According to The Bitcoin Conference,

“In just 7 days, the eyes of the world will be on Bitcoin.”

Impact on Bitcoin

The cryptocurrency’s market has received the news well too. In fact, a separate tweet highlighted that since Trump accepted the invitation to attend the conference, BTC has risen by +10%. 

It might be a different ball game over the shorter term though. At the time of writing, the crypto was down almost 2%, with BTC valued at $64,168 on the charts. 

On the contrary, the Relative Strength Index (RSI) at 58 indicated strong bullish sentiment – A sign of long-term hodlers’ confidence.

This was further supported by AMBCrypto’s analysis of Santiment data, which revealed falling price volatility. This could mean a more stable BTC price with fewer fluctuations.

The decline in negative sentiments hinted at a similar trend too.

Trump’s resilience on point

Despite the assassination attempt, Trump’s resilience and support for cryptocurrencies is starkly evident at this point. That is the reason why the cryptocurrency hiked to a 2-week high, within 24 hours of the former President surviving the assassination attempt. 

At the time, Tony Sycamore, a market analyst at IG, put it best when he said, 

“He’s certainly positioned himself as pro-crypto and as the odds of his reelection were galvanised by the shooting on the weekend, it’s certainly put a big boost underneath the bid in crypto markets and bitcoin obviously, just an absolute standout.”
