The digital asset market remained subdued after the recent X Space session between Elon Musk and Donald Trump, where crypto went unmentioned. Elon Musk, a long-time advocate of cryptocurrencies, has recently been joined by Trump, who has surprisingly become a supporter of the asset class. This shift is notable, not just because Trump is a former U.S. President running for a second term, but also because it marks a complete reversal from his earlier stance. While in the White House, Trump labeled cryptocurrencies as a "scam," "not real money," and a "disaster waiting to happen."
Now, in a stark contrast, Trump has become the first U.S. Presidential candidate to accept crypto donations and has publicly endorsed Bitcoin mining, even delivering a keynote at the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville last month. Given this dramatic turnaround, many in the crypto community were expecting Trump to address the topic during his conversation with Musk. However, to their disappointment, the subject was left untouched.
After a technical rebound, I expect the correction to continue. I'm still bullish on Bitcoin (BTC) in the long term.
