The US Supreme Court is about to rule on the Trump Tariffs case

20 hours ago

**U.S. Supreme Court to Rule Soon on Legality of Trump-Era Global Tariffs** (Jan. 8) — The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to issue a ruling soon on whether global tariffs imposed by the Trump administration under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act are legal. If the court strikes down the tariffs, importers could seek refunds of up to $150 billion in tariffs already paid to the U.S. government. A critical challenge, however, is uncertainty around the refund process: Even if successful, businesses widely anticipate the Trump administration will delay or deny refunds. While U.S. Customs has hinted at rolling out an electronic refund system, the fully automated process remains unclear. To proactively protect their interests, major importers including Costco have filed preemptive lawsuits. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), meanwhile, are selling their refund claims on the secondary market to hedge funds at steep discounts (pennies on the dollar). Experts advise companies to immediately organize and verify detailed records of all tariffs paid, and be ready to file refund claims promptly after the ruling to navigate what could be years of complex legal and administrative procedures.

The South Korean Supreme Court has ruled that Bitcoin held by a trading platform is subject to seizure.

**January 9th Update** As reported by Cointelegraph, the Supreme Court of Korea ruled on December 11, 2025, that Bitcoin held on centralized exchanges qualifies as a seizable asset under the country’s criminal procedure law. The court upheld the seizure of 55.6 Bitcoins belonging to a money laundering suspect, recognizing Bitcoin’s independent management capability, tradability, and economic value. This decision means Korean users holding Bitcoin on platforms like Upbit and Bithumb face clearer legal risks: cryptocurrencies tied to criminal activity can be directly frozen and seized on exchanges. Exchanges are now under pressure to promptly comply with search warrants, enforce strict Know Your Customer (KYC) protocols, and implement robust tracking systems.

Source: Institution Name

On January 9, an institutional analysis noted that U.S. December employment growth may slow as companies grow cautious about hiring amid import tariffs and rising artificial intelligence (AI) investment. However, the unemployment rate is expected to drop to 4.5%, which could reinforce market expectations the Federal Reserve will hold interest rates steady this month. Tonight’s nonfarm payrolls report is forecast to show the U.S. labor market remains stuck in the "no hiring, no firing" pattern described by economists and policymakers. This would also confirm the economy is in a phase of no job expansion. Last quarter, economic growth and worker productivity surged—partly driven by a sharp jump in AI spending. Sal Guatieri, senior economist at BMO Capital Markets, said: "This isn’t entirely due to weak demand (economic performance doesn’t look poor)—but companies are very cautious about hiring. This could tie to cost-control efforts, possibly from tariff pressure, or the belief AI-
