Earlier this year, Elon Musk was well on his way to becoming a crypto darling. What now?

Over the past 24 hours, cryptocurrency’s collective market cap has dropped approximately 10 percent, falling from $2.3 trillion to approximately $2.08 trillion. The losses are not centralized to any specific asset or group of assets this Monday morning, as cryptocurrency markets are seeing red across the board.
Indeed, BTC is down more than 9 percent, sitting at $44.6K at press time; Ether (ETH) is down just over 12 percent with a price of $3.4K. Binance Coin (BNB), DogeCoin (DOGE), Cardano (ADA) and XRP are all down approximately 10 percent.
Some commentators are blaming the downward turn in cryptocurrency markets, and Bitcoin in particular, on none other than Tesla Founder, Elon Musk.
I think many people aren’t mad because of the price, they’re confident Bitcoin will bounce back stronger. They’re mad because Elon is shamelessly spreading harmful misinformation while making countless people FOMO into a high-risk meme coin in the most irresponsible way.
Bitcoin had not managed to fully recover before Elon Sent out another Twitter hint that Tesla may be offloading some of its BTC holdings seemed to ignite further sell-offs in Bitcoin markets. As the BTC price dropped, investors in other assets seemed to feel a sudden urge to take profits.
Twitter user @CryptoWhale, who has been called a 'scammer' by a number of members of the crypto community, wrote, “Bitcoiners are going to slap themselves next quarter when they find out Tesla dumped the rest of their #Bitcoin holdings. With the amount of hate @elonmusk is getting, I wouldn’t blame him,” to which Elon replied, “Indeed.”
This latest tweet, as well as Tesla’s announcement that it would be dropping Bitcoin payments last week, seem to represent something of a heel-turn for Mr Musk, who, for a brief moment, was lauded by the crypto community. Today, crypto Twitter, and perhaps the crypto community at large, seems to be souring on Elon Musk.
When Elon began his public love affair with DogeCoin earlier this year, it was unclear what his intentions were. To some, the fixation seemed like a joke; however, as time went on, it seemed that Elon did have some kind of serious agenda with DOGE. He referred to it as “the people’s crypto”; he offered to buy out DOGE whales to make the currency less centralized. He even asked the public if Tesla should accept DOGE payments.
But, as serious as Elon may or may not be about DOGE, many analysts pointed out the apparent glee that Musk took in with the power that he had over the price of the asset. At one point, he tweeted a meme of himself as Lion King character Rafiki holding a Simba DOGE up to the sun with the caption, “you’re welcome.”
Then, when Tesla announced that it would be accepting BTC payments and adding BTC to its balance sheet, more people seemed to start to see Elon as a sort of champion of crypto that the company’s adoption of Bitcoin could lead the way to an era of corporate Bitcoin adoption.
Tesla’s Change of Heart
But, this hope seemed to be short-lived. When Tesla announced that it would no longer be accepting BTC payments, and would be exploring other cryptocurrencies as possible payment options before then, some members of other crypto communities jumped at the opportunity to get Musks’ attention. Others made it clear that Musk’s touch was unwelcome.
For example, a Cardano (ADA) fan with the Twitter handle @CryptoNelson17 wrote that: “While I would love [Tesla to accept ADA] from a utility-perspective, I feel like @elonmusk is a bit unstable & it could hurt $ADA somehow,” he wrote.
“I mean take this ‘no longer purchasing teslas with $BTC’ thing – you’re telling me Elon didn’t know it wasn’t green? He’s a kid in a candy store, playing (sic).” he wrote. Moreover, members of the XRP community responded negatively to attempts to vie for Musk’s attention.
The Bitcoin crowd is no different. After Musk’s most recent “Indeed” tweet, crypto analyst Michael van der Poppe told Musk that he “look[s] utterly pathetic.”
“If you don’t believe in #Bitcoin, sell them and stop teasing millions of people,” van der Poppe wrote. “We’re done with it.”
You are responding to a scammer and you look utterly pathetic.
If you don’t believe in #Bitcoin, sell them and stop teasing millions of people.
We’re done with it.

Also, anonymous crypto analyst @notgrubles responded with “history has not been kind to people rage selling” alongside a photo of Roger Ver.
Journalist Bede MacGowan wrote, “Let him dump. The crypto community really shouldn’t be so dependent on the whims of one celebrity tweeter.”

Ari Paul, CIO of BlockTower Capital, wrote "Bitcoin isn’t PayPal, it’s a serious attempt at providing permissionless money to the world. You don’t seem to have much to contribute to that endeavor."
Dump it. Use doge as your plaything. Bitcoin isn’t PayPal, it’s a serious attempt at providing permissionless money to the world. You don’t seem to have much to contribute to that endeavor.
However, others are sticking up for Elon: "The Bitcoin community celebrated when Musk manipulated the market in their favour, didn't seem to reflect for one second on why that was bad, because it profited them," one Twitter user wrote.
"The second his manipulation hurts them, they act all mad."

In this conversation, we sit down with Drew Niv, CSO at ATFX Connect and one of the most influential figures in modern FX.
We speak about market structure, the institutional view on liquidity, and the sharp rise of prop trading, a sector Drew has been commenting on in recent months. Drew explains why he once dismissed prop trading, why his view changed, and what he now thinks the model means for brokers, clients and risk managers.
We explore subscription-fee dependency, the high reneging rate, and the long-term challenge: how brokers can build a more stable and honest version of the model. Drew also talks about the traffic advantage standalone prop firms have built and why brokers may still win in the long run if they take the right approach.

In this conversation, we speak with Aydin Bonabi, CEO and co-founder of Surveill, a firm focused on fraud detection and AI-driven compliance tools for financial institutions.
We start with Aydin’s view of the Summit and the challenges brokers face as fraud tactics grow more complex. He explains how firms can stay ahead through real-time signals, data patterns, and early-stage detection.
We also talk about AI training and why compliance teams often struggle to keep models accurate, fair, and aligned with regulatory expectations. Aydin breaks down what “good” AI training looks like inside a financial environment, including the importance of clean data, domain expertise, and human oversight.
He closes with a clear message: fraud is scaling, and so must the tools that stop it.

Interview with Jas Shah
Builder | Adviser | Fintech Writer | Product Strategist
In this episode, Jonathan Fine sat down with Jas Shah, one of the most thoughtful voices in global fintech. Known for his work across advisory, product, stablecoins, and his widely read writing, Jas brings a rare combination of industry insight and plain-spoken clarity.
We talk about his first impression of the Summit, the projects that keep him busy today, and how they connect to the stablecoin panel he joined. Jas shares his view on the link between fintech, wealthtech and retail brokers, especially as firms like Revolut, eToro and Trading212 blur long-standing lines in the market.
We also explore what stablecoin adoption might look like for retail investment platforms, including a few product and UX angles that are not obvious at first glance.
To close, Jas explains how he thinks about writing, and how he approaches “shipping” pieces that spark debate across the industry.
