tariff

In a dramatic clash between the executive branch and the judiciary, U.S. President #TrumpNewTariffs Donald Trump has responded swiftly after the Supreme Court ruled that he exceeded his authority in imposing sweeping tariffs last week. The Supreme Court’s 6–3 decision held that the president cannot unilaterally impose broad import tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) because the Constitution reserves tariff authority for Congress.
Rather than backing down, Trump immediately announced a new global tariff of 10% on imports, effective February 24, 2026, under Section 122 of the Trade Act of 1974 — a statute that allows temporary import duties (up to 15%) without congressional approval for no more than 150 days when addressing “large and serious” balance-of-payments issues.
According to the White House, this 10% tariff will apply globally but will exempt Canada and Mexico under the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), along with some key items such as pharmaceuticals, critical minerals, and certain agricultural products.
Beyond the 10% global tariff, Trump has also indicated he may raise the rate to up to 15%, which is the maximum allowed under Section 122, and pursue additional tariff actions under other statutes such as Section 301 (unfair trade practices) and Section 232 (national security). Some reports suggest he has already signaled a shift toward those authorities as part of a broader trade agenda.

YOUR ALT BAGS ARE ABOUT TO PUMP

If you’ve been staring at charts all day wondering why the mood feels different, look away from the red candles on your shitcoins for a second and look at the macro news.

The headline just dropped: The Trump-era tariffs have officially been cancelled today.

While the normies are busy arguing about politics on Twitter, we need to talk about the elephant in the room: The Liquidity Tsunami heading directly toward crypto.

This isn’t about politics; it’s about math. And the math says "Altseason" just got the green light.

Here is the breakdown of the money move:

1. The $150 Billion Rebate (The Fuel)

The government spent years collecting massive tariffs from companies. Now that they are rolling them back, they don’t get to keep that cash. They have to refund it.

That is billions of dollars about to land in the bank accounts of corporations. That money doesn't sit still—it moves, it invests, and it searches for yield.

2. The "Oops" Injection (The Spark)

Here is the kicker: The government doesn't actually have this cash just sitting in a vault under the White House. They have to find it.

How do they find it? They borrow, or they turn on the printers. In practice, this forces the Fed to inject liquidity into the system to smooth out the chaos. We saw this playbook in 2008, we saw it in 2020, and we are seeing the prequel to it right now.

3. The Risk-On Cascade (The Fire)

When the dollar weakens and liquidity flows, it follows a specific path:

· Step 1: Bitcoin $BTC sucks up the initial flood. (BTC dominance pumps briefly).
· Step 2: Bitcoin stabilizes, and profits rotate.
· Step 3: ALTS EAT. This is the part we’ve been waiting 1,000 days for.

So, What Happens Next?

If you’ve been following me, you know I called this exact liquidity shock as a possibility a month ago when the rollback was just a rumor. The "Printing Press" isn't a meme; it’s a monetary policy reaction.

The Fed is going to fight inflation with one hand and inject liquidity with the other. They are stuck. But for us? This is the window.

While the IEEPA-based tariffs were canceled, existing Section 232 tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, and other national security-linked imports remain in place.

The floor is open:

· Do you think the Fed can actually fight this, or is the printer officially melting?
· More importantly... what Alts are you watching right now?

US spot #bitcoin ETFs logged five straight weeks of outflows, with $315.9 million leaving last week as institutional investors de-risk amid macro uncertainty.
US spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have posted five consecutive weeks of net outflows, with investors pulling roughly $3.8 billion from the products over the period.
During last week, the funds recorded about $315.9 million in net outflows. The biggest weekly withdrawal during this 5-week streak occurred in the week ending Jan. 30, when spot $BTC ETFs recorded about $1.49 billion in net outflows.
The net weekly outflows come as some sessions posted inflows. On Friday, Bitcoin #ETFs saw about $88 million in inflows, but they were outweighed by larger redemption days earlier in the week. Notable withdrawals included more than $410 million on Feb. 12, along with additional negative sessions from Feb. 17 through Feb. 19, leaving the weekly total firmly negative.

As of Friday, spot #BTC ETFs have accumulated roughly $54.01 billion in net inflows since launch. Total net assets stood near $85.31 billion, representing approximately 6.3% of Bitcoin’s overall market capitalization.
Institutional de-risking drives Bitcoin ETF outflows
Recent withdrawals from spot Bitcoin ETFs appear tied to institutional positioning rather than a loss of long-term interest in the asset, according to Vincent Liu, chief investment officer at Kronos Research. He said the outflows reflect portfolio de-risking as geopolitical tensions and broader macro uncertainty rise.
Liu added that flows may remain unstable in the near term. Escalating trade disputes and #TARIFF developments have reinforced a risk-off environment across markets, leaving digital assets sensitive to macro headlines.
“Market inflows will be dependent on macro events like incoming Thursday’s initial jobless claims, as weaker data could revive expectations for future rate cuts and help support sentiment currently at 14 extreme fear on the crypto fear and greed index,”
Spot Ethereum ETFs see outflows
Spot $ETH ETFs have also faced sustained selling pressure, with flows turning negative across the past five weeks as investors trimmed exposure to the second-largest cryptocurrency.

During last week, the funds recorded about $123.4 million in net outflows, according to data. The weekly losses came despite occasional positive sessions. $ETH ETFs posted inflows on several days, including about $48.6 million on Feb. 17 and $10.3 million on Feb. 13, but they were outweighed by heavier selling earlier in the week.

US President Donald Trump has announced a 10% global tariff after the Supreme Court struck down his reciprocal levies policy.

Mr Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs”, imposed on most of the rest of the world last April under an emergency powers law, were overturned by the US Supreme Court on Friday in a major blow to the president’s economic agenda.

Speaking at the White House, Mr Trump said the Supreme Court decision affirmed his ability to charge more tariffs under different statutes.

He said: “In order to protect our country, a president can actually charge more tariffs than I was charging in the past… period of a year.

Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being chargedDonald Trump
“Under the various tariffs authorities, so we can use other of the statutes, other of the tariff authorities, which have also been confirmed and are fully allowed.

“Therefore, effective immediately, all national security tariffs under Section 232 and existing Section 301 tariffs, they’re existing, they’re there, remain in place, fully in place. And in full force.

“Today I will sign an order to impose a 10% global tariff under Section 122, over and above our normal tariffs already being charged.

“And we’re also initiating several Section 301 and other investigations to protect our country from unfair trading practises of other countries and companies.”

In the UK, ministers said they expected the country’s “privileged trading position with the US” to continue after the Supreme Court’s ruling.

The UK received the lowest tariff rate of 10%, and a subsequent deal struck by Sir Keir Starmer and Mr Trump saw further carve-outs for Britain’s steel industry and car manufacturers.

Friday’s decision raises questions over whether those deals still stand, although officials are understood to believe it will not impact on most of the UK’s trade with America, including preferential deals on steel, cars and pharmaceuticals.

A Government spokesperson said: “This is a matter for the US to determine but we will continue to support UK businesses as further details are announced.

“Under any scenario, we expect our privileged trading position with the US to continue and will work with the administration to understand how the ruling will affect tariffs for the UK and the rest of the world.”

It was an updated version of a statement released earlier in response to the court ruling but removed a reference to the UK enjoying “the lowest reciprocal tariffs globally”.

Mr Trump said that some trade deals negotiated after he imposed his reciprocal tariffs will no longer be valid after the US Supreme Court ruling.
“Some of them stand. Many of them stand. Some of them won’t, and they’ll be replaced with the other tariffs,” he said.

The US president said the 10% “global tariff” would be in place for around five months.

“We’re going straight ahead with 10% straight across the board… and then during that period of about five months, we are doing the various investigations necessary to put fair tariffs, or tariffs period, on other countries.

“So we’re doing that, period, but we’re immediately instituting the 10% provision, which we’re allowed to do. And in the end, I think we’re taking more money than we’ve taken in before.”

The US has collected more than 133 billion dollars (£98.4 billion) since Mr Trump imposed the tariffs, but now faces the prospect of having to refund that money to importers.

Friday’s decision, approved by a 6-3 majority, found that a 1977 law did not give Mr Trump the power to impose tariffs without the approval of the US Congress.

The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) said the decision did little to “clear the murky waters for business” around US tariffs.

William Bain, head of trade policy at the BCC, said Mr Trump could use other legislation to reimpose tariffs.

He said: “For the UK, the priority remains bringing tariffs down wherever possible. It’s important the UK Government continues to negotiate on issues like steel and aluminium tariffs and reduces the scope of other possible duties.”

Campaign group Best for Britain said the decision “underlines the instability of doing deals with Trump’s USA and the importance of forging deeper, more reliable trade with our EU neighbours”.

Andy Prendergast, national secretary at GMB, said the removal of the tariffs was very welcome.

“This ruling by the Supreme Court will be popular and represents an overdue slap down for a president who doesn’t seem to have any idea of what he’s doing,” he said.

Richard Rumbelow, director of international business at Make UK, said: “Subject to the details to come from the US administration, the Supreme Court’s ruling to remove tariffs will offer some good news and much-needed clarity for UK manufacturers.

“As the situation continues to evolve, businesses now need clear, practical guidance on how the ruling will be implemented, alongside progress on resolving the remaining Section 232 tariffs on UK steel and aluminium.”

Trump has lost his favourite margin for manoeuvre
Do not underestimate the scale of the Supreme Court’s blow to Donald Trump. Like a Roman emperor, he has been doling out tariffs with the crook of his finger. One day Switzerland is at 39 per cent; the next, following the gift of a gold ingot and carriage clock, it falls to 15 per cent. Should a foreign leader displease him, as India’s Narendra Modi did when he refused to endorse Trump’s bid for a Nobel Peace Prize, the rate doubled to 50 per cent. In China’s case, the president bowed before its stronger firepower and reduced them from a high of 145 per cent to about 45 per cent.

Vance labels court ruling as ‘lawlessness . . . plain and simple’
Vice-president JD Vance criticised the Supreme Court on Friday afternoon, describing its tariffs ruling as “lawlessness . . . plain and simple”.

Court decision has little effect on markets
Market reaction was restrained after the Supreme Court decision. The dollar index is still a touch weaker, down 0.1 per cent for the session. Thirty-year US Treasury yields are up just 0.02 percentage points at 4.73 per cent.
