The ruling disappointed Trump supporters, regarding the trial as political persecution, aiming to prevent him from winning elections. Trump has also supported cryptocurrencies and has also started using cryptocurrencies in his campaign and fundraising by accepting cryptocurrencies as options for contributions.&nbsp;&nbsp; 
Meanwhile, on Polymarket, a blockchain-based betting platform, the wager “Trump in jail before election day?” has <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/trump-jail-before-election-day/trump-jail-before-election-day?tid=1717202731807" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">attracted</a> over $900,000, with bettors estimating a 16% chance of imprisonment before November 5.
