Elon Musk's latest SpaceX milestone sent crypto markets into a tailspin, proving once again that rockets and tokens have a love-hate relationship. ETH dipped 0.04% in the first minute, then accelerated downward to 0.32% over five minutes before stabilizing at a mere 0.02% drop. DOGE followed suit with a 0.45% slide at the five-minute mark, while GORK briefly defied gravity with a 0.29% gain before crashing 0.62%. Compared to historical posts, this reaction was oddly bearish: previous launch celebrations typically sparked minor rallies, like ETH’s 0.54% gain last May or DOGE’s 0.73% bump. Volatility here was tame by crypto standards, but the consistency of the sell-off suggests traders are either bored of rockets or secretly hoping for a moon mission gone wrong. Nothing says "market efficiency" like digital currencies tanking because a real-world rocket landed successfully.
