The 47th U.S. President, Donald Trump, is set to make a major announcement today, unveiling a wide-reaching tariff initiative labeled “reciprocal,” designed to address what he describes as years of inequitable trade conduct by both friendly nations and rivals alike. At its core, a tariff is a government-imposed tax or duty applied to imported goods—and in rare cases, exports. These charges can take the form of a flat fee or be calculated ad valorem, meaning they’re determined as a percentage of the item’s declared value. Trump asserts that the tariffs will free the U.S. economy from reliance on overseas products, bring manufacturing jobs back home, and shrink the trade gap. Proposed rates span from a flat 20% across all imports to customized percentages based on the exporting country. Prior reports indicate that foreign automobiles and car parts are already set to face a 25% tariff beginning Thursday. According to ABC News, on April 1, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed reporters, stating: April 2, 2025, will go down as one of the most important days in modern American history. Skepticism surrounding the tariff proposal runs deep among Democrats, economists, and market analysts alike. Investor sentiment has wavered, with Goldman Sachs raising its probability of a recession to 35% in light of possible economic disruptions. Experts caution that the tariffs could drive up consumer costs, unravel supply networks, and invite retaliatory actions from foreign governments—raising the specter of a global trade conflict or a potential recession in the U.S. economy. Although many point out that the cost of imported goods is likely to climb, the Trump administration is urging consumers to pivot toward domestic alternatives. “Liberation Day,” as it’s been named, is still being refined, according to the White House press secretary, who emphasized that Trump is ensuring “this is a perfect deal for the American people and the American worker.” Until now, each instance in which tariffs were proposed or even hinted at by Trump toward foreign nations has sent global markets—including equities and crypto assets—into sharp, unpredictable motion. “The crypto market is jittery in anticipation of ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs today, despite the fact that these tariffs have zero direct impact on crypto or blockchain projects,” Chris Chung the founder and CEO of Solana swap platform Titan, told Bitcoin.com News. “For weeks now, token prices have been driven by a general sense of unease about the macro environment, which just shows that crypto is still overwhelmingly seen by investors as a highly volatile tech stock – and will remain so for the time being.” The Titan executive added: Increasingly, it seems like the POTUS is willing to accept the short-term pain of tariffs for the perceived long-term gain it will bring. This is pushing up inflation expectations, and if inflation does start getting out of hand, all risk assets will suffer. BTC/USD on April 2, 2025, at 10:38 a.m. ET. Hours before Trump’s announcement. On April 2, bitcoin (BTC) climbed from the $84,600 range to $85,800 by 10:30 a.m. ET on Wednesday. The top cryptocurrency has gained 2.66% over the past 24 hours. Meanwhile, the broader crypto market has advanced by 2.11% ahead of Trump’s announcement, bringing its total valuation to $2.75 trillion. Stocks have wobbled, with the Nasdaq, S&P 500, Dow Jones, and NYSE all posting slight declines. Gold has inched up 0.37%, trading at $3,126 per ounce, reflecting a more measured tempo ahead of the “Liberation Day” blueprint reveal. “Nervousness about the incoming wave of U.S. tariffs has kept the FTSE 100 in the red, as investors assess the UK vulnerability and the knock-on effects for the global economy,” Susannah Streeter, head of money and markets at Hargreaves Lansdown told Bitcoin.com News in a market note. “The S&P 500 also opened on the back foot but has clawed back some ground. Concerns continue to swirl about stagflation taking hold in the U.S., given that tariffs are expected to push up consumer prices and act as a drag on growth, and worries ricochet about further turmoil ahead.” Markets appear to be faring better today, largely because investors anticipate clearer direction from Trump’s remarks later this afternoon. However, this recent uptick and relative calm could swiftly unravel once the full details of his plan are made public. The day prior, the White House stated that Trump has “made up his mind” on tariffs, adding his assurance that “Wall Street will be just fine.” Whether that confidence holds remains an open question. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

North Carolina is currently considering legislative measures that would permit the inclusion of cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), in the state’s retirement and pension fund portfolios. This is part of a broader trend among U.S. states exploring the potential of digital assets to diversify and potentially enhance the returns of public investment funds. House Bill 506 , known as the Investment Modernization Act, was introduced by Representative Brenden Jones on March 24. The bill aims to establish an independent investment authority within the state Treasury to assess which digital assets could be integrated into state retirement funds. A companion bill, Senate Bill 709 , named the State Investment Modernization Act, was introduced in the Senate on March 25. According to the bills, a digital asset includes cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), or any other electronically stored asset that grants financial, proprietary, or access privileges. Unlike crypto laws in other states that set a minimum market capitalization for digital assets to qualify for investment, North Carolina’s bills do not include such restrictions. If approved, the authority could allocate up to 5% of various state pension funds into digital assets. The State Employees Association of North Carolina (SEANC) has voiced apprehension about the potential risks to pension funds, cautioning against exposing retirement savings to the unpredictable nature of the cryptocurrency market. In addition to this, North Carolina introduced a bill aimed at positioning the state as a frontrunner in government-led cryptocurrency adoption. Senate Bill 327 (SB327), championed by Republican Senators Todd Johnson, Brad Overcash, and Timothy Moffitt, proposes allocating up to 10% of the state’s public funds to Bitcoin. Framing Bitcoin investment as a “financial innovation strategy,” the bill seeks to strengthen North Carolina’s economic standing. It mandates that any acquired Bitcoin be stored in multi-signature cold storage and undergo monthly audits to ensure security and transparency. SB327 also enforces strict controls on Bitcoin transactions, allowing liquidation only in cases of a “severe financial crisis” and requiring approval from two-thirds of the General Assembly before any sale can take place. Supporters argue that investing in cryptocurrencies could diversify the state’s portfolio, while critics raise concerns about the volatility and regulatory uncertainties surrounding digital assets. North Carolina is part of a growing wave of states exploring cryptocurrency adoption. To date, 41 Bitcoin reserve bills have been introduced across 23 states, with 35 still under review. One notable example is Oklahoma’s Strategic Bitcoin Reserve Act, which recently passed the House with a 77-15 vote and is now awaiting a Senate decision. Further fueling this movement, CNF reported that President Donald Trump signed an executive order to establish a national Bitcoin reserve, highlighting a broader push toward integrating digital assets into government financial strategies under his administration.

"Nothing good happens below the 200-day moving average." — Paul Tudor Jones

In the aisles of Wall Street, the atmosphere is no longer festive. For a few weeks now, the American stock market has been showing symptoms of a relapse that we thought forgotten. The specter of a crash — in the style of 2000 or 2008 — resurfaces. And while analysts pull out their old survival manuals, others see it as an opportunity for a big cleanup. But what does history really tell us? And above all, how do we read the signs in this changing economic jungle? Indeed, the American stock market loves to trip over the carpet of overvaluation. In 2000, the Nasdaq (now aligned with Bitcoin ) reached 5,000 points, before crashing down on a 78% drop. A quarter of a century later, are we seeing a repeat? In any case, it looks like it . The Nasdaq is already down 13% in a month, like a foretaste of an indigestible dish. Back then, we invested in companies whose only tangible asset was a PowerPoint. Today, it’s artificial intelligences that are sparking euphoria, in the form of Nvidia and its tech cousins. History repeats itself, but with more printed circuits. As Jim Osman says: ” You haven’t seen anything yet “. He speaks from experience: the Nasdaq, the S&P 500, and the Dow Jones all crashed back then. And this time? Nothing guarantees that the scenario will be less violent. And you, are you ready for a HD rerun of the 2000 crash? On the other side of the Atlantic, the United States moves like somnambulists on a thread of debt and illusions. The American economy, on paper, seems robust, but the foundations are cracking. Proof? The famous S&P 500 has slipped over 10% recently, flirting with correction like a shy teenager with disaster. The profit margins of American companies have reached unprecedented levels: over 9%, far above the historical norm (between 3.8% and 7.2%). It’s no longer an economy, it’s a trampoline. And beware of the landing! A simple “reversion to the mean” — returning to the average, as professionals say — could plunge profits by 20%, or even more. Robert Kiyosaki doesn’t mince his words : This crash will be bigger than that of 1929. Just that. But don’t panic! According to him, you should “stay stoic, keep your eyes open… and buy when everyone is fleeing “. Should we tremble or break out the checkbook? As investors try to keep a cool head, one question remains: are we witnessing the bursting of a new bubble or a healthy correction? The indicators are as reassuring as a lace parachute. Some talk about “bull traps”, those false recoveries that precede the real fall. Remember: in 2001, after the dot-com boom, the market had recovered 21%… before losing 32% again. A repeat in 2008. And today? The valuations are once again under tension. The forward P/E (price-to-earnings ratio) is dangerously approaching 23x, a level that preceded the last two major corrections. And yet, not all is lost. Artificial intelligence is not just a flash in the pan, as some analysts remind us. The problem is not the technology, but the exuberance of investors, that old demon of Wall Street. So, is this stock market self-destructing out of enthusiasm? In summary, the misfortunes of some bring happiness to others: while the American stock market ecosystem, symbolized by Wall Street, is in a dark place right now, it should be noted that it’s Europe that is cashing in .
