I think so. During the World Cup, some bookmakers made huge profits. Of course, they will make money seem legal by laundering money. Virtual currency is a good choice. Of course, this practice violates certain laws, but it will not stop their desire for benefits. A large number of BTC and ETH transactions will follow, and prices seem to rise accordingly.
This is my personal thought. This may be naive and perhaps sensitive. Welcome to discuss.
Well personally, I do not see if there are connection in the world cup of rise of Bitcoin and Eth, its just a rumors that there are connection in world cup and bitcoin price. But for me they are not. Many people are using different method to determine and observe how the price of bitcoin change. But until know they has no report about that. This is a fact that there are not no vacancy for all of us here.
