Dogecoin-Fan Elon Musk Reacts to Secrets With Putin as he Endorses Trump

Dogecoin-fan Elon Musk has been in regular contact with Russian President Vladimir Putin as he continues campaigning for Donald Trump, reported The Wall Street Journal on Friday. Musk reacted to the reports, not being an apologist as he has been in the crosshairs by the US and Russia.
Meanwhile, Musk has donated another $44 million to his political action committee America, taking the total donations to over $118 million.
Dogecoin Fan Elon Musk Responds to Relations With Putin
Tesla CEO Elon Musk has regularly communicated with Russian President Vladimir Putin. They have talked on wider topics including personal matters, business, and geopolitics, reported WSJ on October 25, citing current and former U.S., Russian, and European officials.
For instance, Putin earlier asked Musk not to activate Starlink satellite internet service over Taiwan as a favor to China. SpaceX, which runs Starlink has business worth billions with the US military and intelligence agencies, and Musk was allowed security clearance to some classified information. No red flags have been raised yet, but some officials raised concerns over it.
Elon Musk scoffs at reports on Putin, indicating it was another attack on Donald Trump’s re-election campaign after the “Trump is Hitler” didn’t work. Musk is now a key backer of Trump’s 2024 campaign and could hold a major role in a future Trump administration.

Charles Hoskinson Reveals How Cardano Will Boost Bitcoin’s Adoption

Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson says the network will play a key role in Bitcoin DeFi transactions in the future. With several partnerships and innovations in the works, Hoskinson says Cardano is bracing itself to explore layer 2 solutions on the Bitcoin blockchain,
Cardano Positions Itself For Bitcoin DeFi
In an interview with Scott Melker, Cardano’s founder has revealed ambitious plans for the network to turbocharge Bitcoin’s adoption for DeFi applications. Hoskinson notes that large financial institutions will trigger a demand for Bitcoin DeFi given their fiduciary obligation to create yield.
He notes that a Bitcoin ETF providing DeFi yields will trigger shareholders to demand similar yields. Hoskinson eyes a three-year timeframe for institutions to plant their feet in Bitcoin DeFi and UTXO DeFi.
Hoskinson says Cardano will combine Hydra with the Bitcoin Lightning network and build a trustless recursive bridge between both networks. The founder adds that its Aiken programming language will enabled to write both Bitcoin and Cardano scripts.
Furthermore, a partnership with Maestro, an infrastructure provider allowing Bitcoin integration with UTXO-based blockchain will provide a “turn-key experience” for users.
“It’s still early days but we are making methodical progress every step of the way,” said Hoskinson.
Hoskinson is moving on from his absence from the Crypto Summit at the White House, doubling down on technical innovation. He notes that the Bitcoin-focused plays by Cardano will not adversely affect the network’s road map.
Is Bitcoin Ready For DeFi Applications?
Hoskinson revealed in the interview that Bitcoin is ready for DeFi utility following the Taproot and the Lightning Network advancements. According to the founder, Taproot added programmability features to the Bitcoin network and Cardano will push the frontiers.
He adds that Cardano will enable Bitcoin users to engage in DeFi transactions while transacting with only BTC. Hoskinson says a merger between Bitcoin is enough to make Cardano’s DeFi significantly larger than Ethereum and Solana combined.
While the integration will send Cardano price soaring, ADA wallows at $0,6611 after losing 10% in a week. However, traders are targeting an ADA pump in May following the forming of a cyclical pattern.
An analyst argues that a price rally to $10 is not a crazy prediction given a streak of solid fundamentals and partnerships for Cardano.

Ethereum Bitcoin Ratio Drops to Record Low, What Next for ETH?

The world’s second-largest digital asset, Ethereum (ETH), struggles to keep up with Bitcoin. Market data shows that the ETH/BTC ratio has dropped to its lowest level in five years. Consequently, investors and analysts are now questioning whether Ethereum can recover in the coming quarter, considering Bitcoin may continue its long-standing domination in the digital assets market.
The Ethereum Bitcoin Ratio At New Lows
ETH performed poorly compared to Bitcoin in the first quarter of 2025. According to a recent update from The Kobeissi Letter, the Ethereum to Bitcoin ratio has dropped to 0.02, its lowest level since December 2020.
Historically, Ethereum has gained strength after Bitcoin halvings, but the trend has reversed. While Bitcoin price is going upward, Ethereum has struggled to gain traction.
Several factors have contributed to this decline. Bitcoin’s narrative as digital gold has strengthened, drawing more institutional investment. In addition, the coin has faced challenges, including relatively higher gas fees and competition from other blockchain networks.
Unfortunately, the Ethereum Pectra upgrade, which experts believe could drive a price increase for the coin, faced some challenges. As reported by CoinGape, multiple testnet attempts failed before the Hoodi testnet that launched recently.
Some experts believe Ethereum’s transition to proof-of-stake has not delivered the expected market boost.
Q1 Performance and ETF Downturn
The ETH price performance in the first quarter of 2025 has been disappointing. For context, data shows that the coin has dropped 46% this year, nearly 4 times more than Bitcoin’s decline of 12%.
Many investors expected a strong bull run, but Ethereum has remained weak. The adoption of spot Bitcoin ETFs earlier in the year attracted billions of dollars, but Ethereum has not seen the same level of interest for its potential ETF.
Market analysts suggest that institutional investors are still hesitant about Ethereum’s long-term value compared to Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s fixed supply and reputation as a hedge against inflation have made it a safer choice for institutional investors.
Where is ETH Price Heading?
Some analysts believe ETH price could hit $10,000 if broader market conditions improve and the Ethereum Pectra upgrade launches on the mainnet.
Others warn that if the coin continues to lose value against Bitcoin, investors may start shifting funds to other networks like Solana or Avalanche.
Even though short-term price predictions remain speculative, some traders expect Ethereum to rebound as Bitcoin stabilizes. Others believe the ETH/BTC ratio could drop even further.
As of this publication, CoinMarketCap data shows that Ethereum’s price was $1,842.29, up 1.34% in the last 24 hours. Many experts believe that the coming days will determine whether Ethereum can regain strength or whether Bitcoin’s dominance will continue to grow.

Elon Musk Rules Out The Use Of Dogecoin By The US Government

Elon Musk has doused optimism for the US government to adopt Dogecoin at the America PAC town hall event. The head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) noted that the government agency only bears a nominal resemblance to the memecoin.
Elon Musk Dispels Rumors Of Dogecoin Adoption By The US Government
At a recent event, Tesla CEO Elon Musk cleared the air on the potential adoption of Dogecoin by the US government. In his keynote speech, Musk noted that the US government will not be adopting Dogecoin, contrary to swirling speculation.
Musk noted that the speculation gained traction following the launch of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Following the launch of DOGE and Musk tapped to lead the agency, enthusiasm for Dogecoin government utility reached new highs.
However, Musk clarified that the agency bears only a nominal resemblance to the memecoin, stemming from an internet trend. The Tesla CEO disclosed that the original intended name was the Government Efficiency Commission, opting for DOGE “because the internet is right.”
“The name is similar but they are two different things,” said Musk. “But there are no plans for the government to use Dogecoin as far as I know.”
Musk has a long and storied history with Dogecoin, famously shilling the memecoin and integrating DOGE payments for Tesla. Musk teased an anime-themed DOGE on X, setting the stage for a $2 rally for the memecoin.
DOGE Reacts Negatively To The News
Dogecoin price slumped by nearly 2% in the wake of the grim report. Currently, the memecoin is trading at 0.1660 as it eyes a push toward the $1 mark.
The negative fundamental adds pressure to reports of DOGE forming a falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential downward breakout. However, optimists are rippling with confidence that DOGE can shake off the negative sentiments to post new all-time highs.
One analysis claims that if the Dogecoin price breaks a 3-month trendline, an $8 valuation for the memecoin is in play. Others claim that the House of Doge Reserve launch will be a tailwind for Dogecoin price, sending the dog-themed coin on a strong rally.
