US Supreme Court Has Clipped Trump's Wings, But Uncertainty Remains for the Crypto Market

  • US President Donald Trump last raised tariffs to 15%.
  • Uncertainty looms over the global crypto market.
  • Gold and Silver defied the uncertainty.

The US Supreme Court has struck down tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump; however, there is still uncertainty worldwide about his next steps. For the crypto market, the sentiment has brought massive dips, with the collective market cap heading over to the $2 trillion mark. Gold and Silver have, so far, defied this uncertainty.

Trump Tariff Gone Following US Supreme Court Verdict

Trump made the best of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act in implementing heavy tariffs on nations. The US Supreme Court has now clipped his wings and has brought down the rate to 10%. He has raised the rate to 15%, and this has become one of the moments triggering uncertainty across the globe.

Wendy Cutler, a former U.S. trade official, believes that uncertainty gives Trump additional leverage beyond tariffs, and people are, therefore, worried about what he’ll do next. For now, new tariffs imposed would take longer to come into effect – depriving Trump of the power to use them as a power move.

Uncertainty for Crypto Market

Even the US Supreme Court striking down high tariffs has not brought relief for the crypto market. Crypto enthusiasts are aware of his unpredictable moves. Thereby causing uncertainty when allocating funds to a risky venture.

The impact is evident from the fact that BTC, the flagship token, has slipped below the $65k mark when the article is being written. The collective market cap is inching closer to the $2 trillion mark after the recent drop of 4.43%. The FGI reportedly shifted to a single digit briefly, but it has regained a double digit number of 14%.

BTC price, specifically, is down by 4.19% over the last 24 hours and 4.70% in the last 7 days. Volatility is very high at 11.03%, and a correction is anticipated within 3 months. It is recommended not to take the content of this article as a recommendation or advice. Do thorough research and risk assessment instead.

Performance of Alternatives

St. Louis Federal Reserve President Alberto Musalem has also flagged uncertainty despite the US Supreme Court striking down Trump’s tariffs. He has said that he would keep his economic forecast unchanged and talk to CEOs to know how they are managing the uncertainty. Meanwhile, Gold and Silver, as alternatives, were last seen gaining a positive momentum.

Gold surged by 1% to $5,159.76, and Silver jumped by 2.64% to $86.80, after trading above $87 for a few moments. Gold and Silver, therefore, continue to come up as better alternatives to cryptos in uncertainty.
