【This ruling may shake the market more than a rate hike】

The U.S. Supreme Court is about to make a critical decision, and global markets are quietly waiting.

The core issue of this document on January 9th is only one: Does the President have unlimited and indefinite authority to impose tariffs?

It seems like a legal issue, but the impact is far beyond imagination.

If the ruling is unfavorable to the government, tariffs already collected could be deemed "lacking legal basis." What scale are we talking about? According to official data, by mid-2026, the involved amount could reach 75 billion to 1 trillion USD. Even more concerning, the Treasury Department might be forced to refund about 50% of that.

Does this sound distant? Not really.

Policy uncertainty often stirs waves in financial markets—whether in traditional stocks or cryptocurrencies. The market hates this kind of unresolved situation the most. Funds are waiting, investors are observing, traders are adjusting positions.

In the short term, such major policy shifts usually come with volatility opportunities. In the long term, policy clarity will reprice risk assets. For traders paying attention to the pulse of the global economy, this is a time window that cannot be ignored.

Damn, 750 billion to 1 trillion, if it really retreats, the market will explode. Uncertainty is the biggest killer; let's wait and see how the court rules. If this wave turns around, crypto will also become volatile. The Supreme Court has stepped in; no one can save you. Policy flips, all positions go to waste. Wait for the verdict; the opportunity lies in the fluctuations. Tariffs are more likely to crash the market than interest rate hikes. If it really costs 50%, this calculation is hard to figure out. The market hates uncertainty, but I especially like it. When it's unresolved, it's the easiest time to buy the dip, brother.

Wow, if the Supreme Court drops this move, $750 billion will be directly refunded? The market would go crazy.

750 billion to 1 trillion? Once I saw this number, I started adjusting my positions. Under policy uncertainty, it's better to hold tight. --- Oh my, with the Supreme Court's move, on-chain volatility is definitely going to soar. Looking forward to this wave of risk re-pricing. --- 50% tariff refund? Asset allocation needs to be recalculated. The holdings in multi-signature wallets should be carefully reviewed. --- Policy reversal = trading opportunity? I'm already looking at arbitrage opportunities across chains. Whoever bottoms out first will be the last to laugh. --- This kind of uncertainty is the most annoying. We should learn to leverage what the market dislikes. I've been accumulating coins in anticipation of this moment. --- See you on January 9th... Never mind, I trust on-chain analysis more. On-chain data won't lie. --- The key is whether the Ministry of Finance will refund that 50% liquidity. That's the real market-moving point. --- When policies are unclear, it tests your private key management skills the most. The assets in cold wallets are the real assets.
