What you simply must know:
- Dogecoin and Cardano lead the charge in cryptocurrency declines, fueled by recession fears and a dramatic squabble between Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
- Bitcoin attempted a valiant recovery after its fall, while other cryptocurrencies wept softly, dropping between 2%-5%.
- Experts point to political drama and economic woes as the dark clouds casting a shadow over the crypto landscape.
On Friday, Dogecoin and Cardano’s ADA decided to show the world what a nosedive looks like, leading the cryptocurrency market’s tumble as traders wrestled with conflicting economic data and the deliciously toxic feud between President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk.
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! Dogecoin plummeted nearly 7% in just 24 hours, while ADA dipped a delicate 6.5%, as risk-averse traders started to clutch their pearls. But wait, Bitcoin made a slight recovery, managing to crawl above $102,000 after taking a nosedive to $101,000 on Thursday night. Meanwhile, Ether, XRP, BNB, and Solana tripped over each other, dropping by 2%-5%. Charming, isn’t it?
The deliciously absurd spat between Musk and Trump seemed to unsettle the crypto community, as Musk ominously warned that the U.S. might soon be experiencing a technical recession—because, of course, that’s what we all needed to hear at this point. And just like that, speculative assets took a nose dive.

“Ah yes, the catfight between Musk and Trump. It’s the perfect storm for a market downturn,” quipped Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, during his correspondence with CoinDesk. “But don’t despair! Despite the drama, we’re still optimistic about crypto’s long-term potential. After all, Circle’s IPO just happened, and institutional investors seem to think it’s worth the gamble.”
Some analysts, clearly too busy laughing at the spectacle, pointed out that the political infighting could make things a lot worse—because, of course, that’s exactly what we need right now: more chaos.
“Yes, it’s true,” said Nick Ruck, director at LVRG Research. “The recent US macroeconomic reports didn’t help, but let’s not forget that the real drama is between Musk and Trump. Investors fear that their squabbles could spill into the market and make everything worse. Still, we’re hopeful. Institutions are still pouring into crypto, so let’s not write it off just yet.”
As traders twiddle their thumbs in anticipation, the market waits for clarity on the looming debt ceiling debate and, of course, the magnificent Trump’s ‘One Big Beautiful Act’ on fiscal policy. Because what could possibly go wrong?
