Dogecoin (DOGE) and Cardano (ADA) led the cryptocurrency market declines on Friday, both suffering drops of nearly 7% and 6.5%, respectively. The downturn was influenced by conflicting macroeconomic signals and escalating concerns about a recession stemming from disputes between President Donald Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. Bitcoin managed a slight recovery, holding above $102,000 after a dip near $101,000 the previous night. Other major cryptocurrencies, including Ethereum (ETH), XRP, and Solana (SOL), saw declines between 2% and 5%. Musk’s warnings about a likely technical recession for the U.S. this year added to the risk-off sentiment among traders. In a statement shared with CoinDesk, Jeff Mei, COO at BTSE, pointed out that the tensions between Musk and Trump reveal divisions that might disrupt economic reform plans, contributing to the overnight drop in cryptocurrency values. Nonetheless, he emphasized a positive long-term outlook for crypto markets, mentioning the recent successful IPO of Circle as a sign of sustained institutional interest. Nick Ruck from LVRG Research noted that while the recent macroeconomic data played a role in market reactions, the discord between Musk and Trump has primarily fueled investor uncertainties, creating fears of broader market implications.
