Musk\u2019s public swipe at a recent spending bill kicked things off. Then came Trump\u2019s warning to yank Musk\u2019s government contracts. It got messy fast. And now, some believe <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coingecko.com\/en\/coins\/xrp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">XRP<\/a> could come out on top.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Elon Musk-Trump Feud Spurs Crypto Talk<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Musk took to Twitter on June 4 to slam what he called reckless government spending. His post warned of \u201cserious economic risks.\u201d Not long after, Trump fired back. He threatened to pull subsidies and contracts tied to Tesla. That response sent Tesla\u2019s stock <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/dogecoin-2\/musk-exits-doge-clashes-with-trump-dogecoin-gets-caught-in-the-crossfire\/\" target=\"_blank\">tumbling<\/a>. Investors watched $150 billion in market value vanish in a matter of hours.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Market Moves And Price Swings<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Based on reports, <a href=\"https:\/\/coinmarketcap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Bitcoin<\/a> slid more than 5% following the news. It dropped to a low of $100,550 before finding a bit of footing near $102,400. XRP wasn\u2019t spared either. It fell alongside other major coins, though the exact drop varied across exchanges. Traders saw quick declines, then a modest rebound as the dust settled.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I believe <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@elonmusk<\/a> will do anything to make <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Ripple?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@Ripple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=%24XRP&#038;src=ctag&#038;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">$XRP<\/a> as a chosen one and use it on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/X?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@x<\/a> while knowing that <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/EricTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@EricTrump<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DonaldJTrumpJr?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@DonaldJTrumpJr<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realDonaldTrump?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@realDonaldTrump<\/a> will watch <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/worldlibertyfi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@worldlibertyfi<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bitcoin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@bitcoin<\/a> crashing in front of their eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Right, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/elonmusk?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">@elonmusk<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Joshua Dalton (@J9Dalton) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/J9Dalton\/status\/1930720363039920406?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">June 5, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h3><strong>XRP Community Weighs In<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Joshua Dalton, who founded tech services firm TRIBLU, stirred the pot with a bold claim. He suggested Musk might choose XRP as the main currency for X\u2019s upcoming payment system, X Money. Dalton argued that Musk \u201cwill do anything\u201d to make XRP the go-to token.<\/p>\n<p>He tagged Ripple, Musk, US President Trump, and Trump\u2019s sons in a single post. That move framed the drama as more than just politics\u2014it became a showdown of crypto loyalties.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/x\/cMrQUpcK\/\" width=\"1835\" height=\"884\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>XRP is currently trading at $2.17. Chart: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">TradingView<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>Technical Fit For X Money<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>XRP provides quicker settlement and reduced fees than Bitcoin. In 2021, Musk suspended BTC payments for Tesla due to high energy consumption and centralized mining concerns. That move proved he\u2019s not afraid to change course when a coin isn\u2019t aligned with his objectives.<\/p>\n<p>In October 2024, Musk even referenced XRP in a viral video. He spoke of crypto like XRP potentially resisting central control, but he did not go so far as to make a full endorsement. With <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/digital-assets\/2025\/05\/26\/tesla-billionaire-elon-musk-quietly-confirmed-a-massive-x-game-changer\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">X Money<\/a> scheduled to roll out later in 2025, XRP\u2019s architecture for cross-border transfers could mirror what Musk is looking to create.<\/p>\n<p>Some analysts point out real hurdles. Ripple still holds a large chunk of XRP, and US regulators are watching closely. Any big move would need legal green lights and deep liquidity on exchanges. But for now, the idea of an \u201ceverything app\u201d powered by XRP keeps popping up in crypto chats.<\/p>\n<p><em>Featured image from Shutterstock, chart from TradingView<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"author-box\">\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Christian Encila\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbtc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Jet-Bitcoinist-Profile.jpg?resize=200%2C200\"  height=\"80\" width=\"80\">\t\t<\/p>\n<div id=\"5e13e4dcb9399df395170f89abc1a11c38653085\">\n<p>They say journalists never truly clock out. But for Christian, that&#8217;s not just a metaphor, it&#8217;s a lifestyle. By day, he navigates the ever-shifting tides of the cryptocurrency market, wielding words like a seasoned editor and crafting articles that decipher the jargon for the masses. When the PC goes on hibernate mode, however, his pursuits take a more mechanical (and sometimes philosophical) turn.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Christian&#8217;s journey with the written word began long before the age of Bitcoin. In the hallowed halls of academia, he honed his craft as a feature writer for his college paper. This early love for storytelling paved the way for a successful stint as an editor at a data engineering firm, where his first-month essay win funded a months-long supply of doggie and kitty treats \u2013 a testament to his dedication to his furry companions (more on that later).<\/p>\n<p>Christian then roamed the world of journalism, working at newspapers in Canada and even South Korea. He finally settled down at a local news giant in his hometown in the Philippines for a decade, becoming a total news junkie. But then, something new caught his eye: cryptocurrency. It was like a treasure hunt mixed with storytelling &#8211; right up his alley!<\/p>\n<p>So, he landed a killer gig at NewsBTC, where he&#8217;s one of the go-to guys for all things crypto. He breaks down this confusing stuff into bite-sized pieces, making it easy for anyone to understand (he salutes his management team for teaching him this skill). <\/p>\n<p>Think Christian&#8217;s all work and no play? Not a chance! When he&#8217;s not at his computer, you&#8217;ll find him indulging his passion for motorbikes. A true gearhead, Christian loves tinkering with his bike and savoring the joy of the open road on his 320-cc Yamaha R3. Once a speed demon who hit 120mph (a feat he vowed never to repeat), he now prefers leisurely rides along the coast, enjoying the wind in his thinning hair.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of chill, Christian&#8217;s got a crew of furry friends waiting for him at home. Two cats and a dog. He swears cats are way smarter than dogs (sorry, Grizzly), but he adores them all anyway. Apparently, watching his pets just chillin\u2019 helps him analyze and write meticulously formatted articles even better.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the thing about this guy: He works a lot, but he keeps himself fueled by enough coffee to make it through the day &#8211; and some seriously delicious (Filipino) food. He says a delectable meal is the secret ingredient to a killer article. And after a long day of crypto crusading, he unwinds with some rum (mixed with milk) while watching slapstick movies.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, Christian sees a bright future with NewsBTC. He says he sees himself privileged to be part of an awesome organization, sharing his expertise and passion with a community he values, and fellow editors &#8211; and bosses &#8211; he deeply respects.<\/p>\n<p>So, the next time you tread into the world of cryptocurrency, remember the man behind the words \u2013 the crypto crusader, the grease monkey, and the feline philosopher, all rolled into one.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Disclaimer:<\/strong> The information found on NewsBTC is for educational purposes<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonly.
