Crypto Markets Adjust as U.S. Trade Policy Shifts • Policy Update: Following Supreme Court pushback, President Trump has implemented a 10% global tariff utilizing Section 122 of the 1974 Trade Act. While the previously stated 15% rate remains on hold, the administration is reportedly considering additional "national security" tariffs on key infrastructure sectors. • Legal Context: Legal analysts, including attorney Adam Cochran, highlight that Section 122 carries strict statutory limits. The measure is capped at 150 days and requires explicit Congressional approval for any extension, leaving it open to further legal challenges. • Global Impact: In response to the growing economic uncertainty, European Union officials are reassessing the Turnberry Agreement and evaluating potential countermeasures to protect local markets. • Market Reaction: The initial resilience in digital assets has cooled. Reacting to sustained macroeconomic pressure and trade friction, $BTC has retraced from the $68,000 level to trade near $65,000, with $ETH reflecting a similar broader market downturn.
