On February 25, U.S. President Trump delivered a nearly two-hour State of the Union address, setting a record for the longest in history. Although the speech covered core topics such as taxation, artificial intelligence, tariffs, and inflation, it completely omitted any mention of cryptocurrency policies or digital asset regulation. This stance was interpreted by the market as a lack of clear policy catalysts for the crypto industry in the short term. Despite his children Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump being deeply involved in crypto projects like World Liberty Financial, digital assets have yet to enter the official policy narrative framework. On a macro level, Trump defended tariff policies in his speech and expressed dissatisfaction with relevant Supreme Court rulings, while also signaling that tariffs would be maintained through other legal channels. However, the repeated adjustments of tariff rates from 10% to 15% have increased trade policy uncertainty. The European Union has paused trade agreement progress, and India has delayed negotiations, leading to a rise in global macro risk premiums, which directly impacts the valuation logic of risk assets.
