The Director of the U.S. White House Economic Council, Hassett, disclosed that Trump may take a 10% tariff measure on the tariff case ruling, which will directly affect the global economy and market fluctuations, especially in crypto assets. Policy uncertainty could trigger capital flows and market adjustments.

【BlockBeats】White House National Economic Council Director Brian Deese revealed an important development. According to the latest news on January 16, once the U.S. Supreme Court makes a ruling on the Trump tariffs case, if the ruling is unfavorable to the government, Trump will immediately initiate the implementation of a 10% tariff measure.

This policy signal is worth paying attention to. Tariff policies directly affect the fundamentals of the global economy, which in turn influence capital markets and the overall performance of crypto assets. A 10% tariff rate will have chain reactions on trade flows, corporate costs, and inflation expectations.

For traders focused on macroeconomics, such policy uncertainties often trigger market volatility. Historical experience shows that shifts in trade policy are often accompanied by significant capital flows—both safe-haven funds flowing in and adjustments in risk assets. As a highly sensitive asset class, the crypto market usually reacts quickly to such policy shifts.

Once the court rules, will a 10% tariff be directly implemented? How many long traders will be scared to death? How to trade now? Once the tariffs come, the global supply chain will be disrupted. What kind of market movement can Bitcoin expect? It's this kind of uncertainty again, I hate this suspense... Just wait and see how the market is eaten up. If the tariffs really come, retail investors won't escape, and risk assets will have to fall. Don't be fooled by their nice words; in the end, it's the ordinary people who pay the price. Cryptocurrencies will also have to retrace together. I won't say who profits behind this... The court definitely won't side with Trump; it's just a bluff. When the supply chain gets disrupted, the crypto world will indeed get chaotic, and funds will definitely move to safe havens. Tariffs are truly an economic bomb; investors should be panicking.

Hassett is really throwing down the gauntlet, a 10% tariff will make BTC shake. Before the court ruling, this uncertainty is the real torment. Implementing tariffs = inflation expectations take off, a good opportunity for airdrops of gold and Bitcoin? Let's wait and see, if this policy reversal really happens, the flow of funds will be very interesting. The ruling hasn't come out yet, discussing this now is a bit premature... Oh my, it's another political gamble. When will the tariff standoff end? 10% tariff → inflation → Federal Reserve? → Crypto market volatility, I like this logic. Basically, it's waiting for news; in the short term, policies and expectations will keep pushing the market. Tariff policies really test traders' psychological resilience. The court hasn't made a final decision yet, and Trump is already flexing his muscles. It's a bit hard to hold back.

Listen, if tariffs really come down, the crypto world will shake. It's the same old story—every time there's policy risk, they say respond quickly, but it just ends up with the whales eating us. 10% tariffs, inflation will rise again? We can only go all in on Bitcoin. If the court rules against, Trump might take direct action, so we need to keep an eye on BTC movements. This is getting interesting, another excuse to dump... Basically, there are too many variables. Who dares to hold heavy positions now? Safe-haven funds flowing in? Laughable. Big players will sell first, don’t get caught. If tariffs are imposed, will the dollar depreciate? How will our crypto assets move then... Waiting for the verdict—that's the real focus. Don’t be fooled by the news.

The court lost the case, and a 10% tariff was directly imposed. This move is a bit harsh. --- It's another case of policy uncertainty. Every time this happens, the coin price gets messed up. --- When tariffs change, inflation expectations rise. How can we not cut? --- Wait, when will the court ruling come out? Should we enter now or wait for the dust to settle? --- Starting with a 10% tariff? Looks like the trade war isn't over yet. This pace is a bit intense. --- The crypto market is so sensitive; it seems we'll be chasing volatility again next week. --- Hasset's words are just a warning; the market should just listen and not take it too seriously. --- Every time policy risks emerge, there's a cycle of fleeing risk-averse funds and coin prices falling.
