Investors are now questioning whether bitcoin could face renewed downside pressure as a result.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled 6 to 3 against Trump\u2019s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977 to justify sweeping tariffs on nearly every trading partner. The Court determined that the law did not grant him authority to impose such broad import taxes. Trump swiftly criticized the decision, calling it a disgrace, and within hours announced a new tariff under a different legal provision known as Section 122.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Section 122 permits the president to apply tariffs of up to 15 percent for a period of 150 days before Congress must intervene. However, legal experts have cautioned that the law does not clearly prevent a president from letting the tariffs expire and then declaring a new emergency to reinstate them, potentially creating a cycle of temporary measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Court\u2019s ruling specifically addressed tariffs enacted under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. It does not affect duties imposed under Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act of 1962, which remain in place on goods such as steel, aluminum, lumber, and automobiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Notably, the Supreme Court did not provide guidance on whether approximately 130 billion dollars in previously collected tariff payments should be refunded to affected businesses. Treasury Secretary Bessent acknowledged that resolving the refund issue could take years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For cryptocurrency investors, the central concern is whether these new trade measures will trigger another market downturn. Bitcoin and major altcoins experienced sharp declines in February and April last year when broad tariffs were first introduced. Additional corrections followed months later when Trump threatened new duties on the European Union during tensions surrounding Greenland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At present, bitcoin is trading near 68,000 dollars and has shown relative stability following the latest announcement. However, past episodes have demonstrated that initial calm can give way to significant volatility once traditional financial markets fully react.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Despite a recent Supreme Court ruling blocking his earlier tariff measures, President Donald Trump has introduced a new 10 percent temporary tariff on imports from all&#46;&#46;&#46;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-920","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=920"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":922,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/920\/revisions\/922"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=920"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=920"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.coinsignals.net\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=920"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
