Legal showdown: Market release tariffs and Trump's unexpected twist

Another round of trade wars has reached the halls of American justice. The U.S. Supreme Court made a decision that many considered inevitable: restrictions on imports under the “Day of Liberation” policy exceeded the constitutional authority of the president. The court’s ruling was based on the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, which clearly defines the limits of executive power in trade policy.

How the market responded to the judicial outcome

The initial reaction from the cryptocurrency sector was cautious. According to the analytics platform NS3.AI, Bitcoin initially showed a short-term decline, as if digesting the news of the court ruling. However, after the initial drop, there was a broader sell-off of assets. The reason was objective: political and economic instability, which typically suppresses risk appetite for assets, continued to worsen.

Liberation postponed: a new tariff attempt on a different legal basis

Trump did not stop at the judicial setback. The administration announced new customs restrictions, but on a different constitutional basis. This move adds complexity to the narrative about cryptocurrencies and their future amid the constantly changing political landscape. The market now awaits whether new tariffs will pass through legal scrutiny and how this will impact digital asset legislation.

At a crossroads: cryptocurrency and political uncertainty

For crypto market participants, the entire situation is symbolic. The idea of “liberating” markets from government restrictions initially attracted Bitcoin enthusiasts. However, reality shows that true freedom requires not only technological innovation but also a stable legislative environment. As long as such an environment remains unpredictable, the market will fluctuate between hope for deregulation and fear of political upheaval.
