These past few days have been a bit overwhelming due to a series of events. The crypto market is still digesting the previous wave of volatility, and new variables are emerging from afar. The trade tensions in the US haven't been resolved yet, with tariffs hanging in the balance. Even more explosive is that regulatory agencies are taking things to court—questioning whether those sudden tariff policies back then crossed the line.

In simple terms: decision-makers imposed tariffs to pressure trade, and now the judicial system is scrutinizing those policies. If the court rules against them, the impact could be significant—The US government would not only lose $100 billion in tariff revenue but also have to pay billions of dollars in compensation to affected companies. Such a situation would be a huge hole in the national finances.

You might think this is just US domestic politics and has nothing to do with our wallets. I have to be honest—it's a big deal. Over the years of navigating the crypto market, I’ve seen many policy fluctuations directly impact coin prices. This trade policy controversy could trigger chain reactions, mainly reflected in three aspects:

First is the collective downturn of risk assets. When policy uncertainty amplifies, it’s like a sword hanging overhead—risk assets tend to be the first to react. Historical data is right here—during previous trade tariff escalations, Bitcoin plunged by 6.69%, and Ethereum fared even worse, dropping over 9%. This isn’t the most extreme market movement, but it’s enough to illustrate the point. The greater the ambiguity in policy, the stronger the market’s defensive response.

BTC-0.25%

ETH-1.03%

According to research, there is a significant positive correlation between policy uncertainty and the volatility of risk assets. This judicial intervention may indeed trigger the release of systemic risk. It is worth noting that historical data has fully confirmed this argument.

The US operation this time is really ruthless. The court is taking tariffs seriously. If they really lose, the crypto circle will have to follow as casualties. --- How big a market can a $100 billion hole create? I bet Bitcoin will get hit again next week. --- Every time US policies shake, crypto prices tremble along. This time, the suspense is even greater. --- The court ruling that the government overstepped is like giving the market a "uncertainty" label, and all coins are headed downward. --- I've seen it too many times—when policies are unstable, coins tend to run first. This situation is simply a slaughterhouse for risk assets. --- Tariff turmoil + judicial review, this combo punch leaves no room for risk assets to survive. --- The more vague the policies, the more panicked the market. Bitcoin and Ethereum probably can't dodge this time. --- It's just US internal strife, but in the end, we're the ones paying. The crypto circle is about to go into winter again. --- The sword hanging in the air falls, and all risk assets are targets—no one can be spared. --- Previously, tariff escalation caused Bitcoin to drop 6.69%. This time, with court interference, we might see an upgraded version.

Here comes another new scoop. Whenever something happens in the US, the crypto world has to tremble along—it's really exhausting. The issue of tariffs keeps fluctuating, and I haven't figured it out yet. Now the courts are getting involved. Who can say for sure about the $100 billion matter? I was already annoyed by the 6.69% plunge before, and this time it feels even more uncertain. Be prepared for a hit.

Here we go again? Policy controversies dragging down prices, I’ve seen this trick before --- $100 billion compensation... If this actually materializes, the crypto market will shake accordingly --- U.S. internal affairs? Friend, you’re overthinking it. Even on-chain, everyone’s getting sacrificed --- History tells us—uncertainty is the killer. BTC plunging is just routine operation --- Tariff case goes to court, I bet five bucks next week we’ll see another dive show --- Vague policies = market defense = time to cut leeks, year after year --- Really, these unresolved issues are more draining than a bear market --- A court ruling from the judiciary, the crypto circle will have to clean up, ready or not --- $100 billion+ compensation... I don’t believe anyone got liquidated --- Basically, the U.S. is chaos, and our wallets are suffering --- I remember that 6.69% plunge clearly, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it happens again --- Policy sword hanging overhead, who the hell dares to add positions --- Ethereum dropped over 9%, I was staring at the screen and just broke down

Oh my, another policy black swan, the days in the crypto world are really tough Can the court directly cause a market crash with this move? Feels like it's going to be bad 10 billion USD wasted, this will most likely cause a market crash Honestly, every time the US causes trouble, the coins suffer too, it's too surreal Policy suspense is the most annoying, more frustrating than a direct drop Now we have to watch the US judicial show again, will my BTC live to see the verdict? In this situation, those who dare to add positions are true warriors US domestic politics can also affect my wallet, is this what Web3 is about? As soon as the tariff turmoil appears, all risk assets follow suit, classic move
