Slide Amid Trump-Musk Clash Over "One Big Beautiful Bill"
The cryptocurrency market experienced notable declines on Friday, June 6, 2025, with Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and XRP facing downward pressure. Bitcoin dropped below $101,000, Ethereum fell over 6%, and XRP lost 2.5%, reflecting broader market sentiment influenced by political tensions.
The downturn coincided with escalating tensions between former President Donald Trump and tech entrepreneur Elon Musk. Their public dispute centers around the "One Big Beautiful Bill" (OBBB), a proposed legislation that includes significant tax cuts, defense spending, and reductions in federal health and energy programs. Musk criticized the bill for increasing the national deficit and lacking proper legislative scrutiny, while Trump accused Musk of acting in self-interest due to subsidy cuts impacting Tesla.
The fallout between Trump and Musk has shaken investor confidence, contributing to increased volatility in the cryptocurrency market. Despite the introduction of the Strategic Bitcoin Reserve, which aims to bolster Bitcoin's legitimacy, the market remains sensitive to political developments.
As of the latest data:
Bitcoin (BTC): Trading at $103,996, down 1.2% from the previous close.
Ethereum (ETH): Priced at $2,478.76, a decrease of 5.2%.
XRP (XRP): Currently at $2.15, down 2.7%.
Investors are advised to monitor the evolving political landscape, as further developments in the Trump-Musk dispute could continue to influence market sentiment and cryptocurrency valuations.
