Updated: Jan 09 2026- Tariff Impact Assessment: The U.S. Supreme Court is set to rule on the legality of Trump's 2025 'Liberation Day' tariffs, which range from 10% to 50%, potentially affecting over $133.5 billion in duties, with importers eligible for refunds if overturned, thereby impacting fiscal policy and market stability.
- Economic Power Controversy: Legal experts highlight that the broad language of IEEPA may grant extensive economic powers to the president, as Trump's tariffs during the 2018-2019 trade war generated about $600 billion in revenue, complicating national fiscal discussions.
- Crypto Market Reaction: Bitcoin is currently trading near $90,000, with the market closely monitoring the Supreme Court's ruling; if the decision triggers fiscal unease, it could lead to tightened liquidity and increased volatility in crypto assets.
- Policy Change Expectations: Prediction markets like Polymarket are already pricing in the odds that the Court may invalidate the tariffs, and if the ruling leads to policy changes, it could spark reflective volatility in the crypto market, highlighting the close ties between economic policy and digital assets.
