This event coincided with a 2.3% increase in Bitcoin's price to $65,432, and a 1.8% rise in Ethereum to $3,456 (Source: CoinMarketCap, 10:55 AM EST). The correlation between Tesla's stock and major cryptocurrencies is well-documented, with Tesla's announcements often influencing crypto markets due to Elon Musk's past endorsements of Bitcoin and Dogecoin (Source: Forbes, March 2025).
