According to Timcast, as reported by Fox News on May 17, 2025, the leaked audio from the interview between President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur suggests that Biden’s cognitive decline was deliberately concealed to protect his election prospects. This revelation has fueled political uncertainty, which historically leads to increased volatility in both traditional equities and the cryptocurrency market, as investors seek alternative assets like Bitcoin during periods of perceived instability (source: Fox News). Crypto traders should monitor further developments, as heightened U.S. political risk could drive short-term demand for decentralized assets.
