Trump's Tariff Policy U-turn: 125% Tariff Rate Pressures Countermeasure Nation, Bitcoin Surges Nearly 8% in a Single Day Breaking $83,000

2025.04.10 10:56:39

On April 10th, President Trump of the United States announced that he would raise tariffs against retaliating countries directly from the current rate to 125%, with immediate effect. At the same time, a 90-day tariff suspension would be implemented for countries or regions that did not take retaliatory actions, with only a 10% basic tariff remaining. This "shock and awe" tariff storm unexpectedly led to a surge in the cryptocurrency market: according to BiyaPay market data, Bitcoin surged by nearly 8% within 24 hours after the announcement, reaching a peak price above $83,000, and is now trading at $82,510. Crypto analysts pointed out that if the tariff suspension continues, Bitcoin may see a new round of institutional fund inflows, but caution is needed against the fluctuation risks brought about by policy reversals. Trump's tariff suspension has changed from the "tariff club" to a "policy reversal", and the financial market has responded with a surge. Behind this celebration lies a profound transformation in global supply chain restructuring, geopolitical maneuvers, and capital flows. During the 90-day window, the market may continue to interpret the "policy market" trend, and the ultimate direction still awaits more certain signals. Facing a highly volatile market environment, investors have seen a significant increase in the demand for secure and efficient asset allocation tools. In this context, BiyaPay, as the world's first multi-asset trading wallet, has demonstrated unique value. It has now facilitated instant fiat-to-crypto exchanges, participation in the US/Hong Kong stock markets with USDT, zero-fee spot/futures Maker trades, a compliant B2C withdrawal channel, secure unfreezing of card withdrawals, effectively reducing the fund freezing risks in traditional OTC/C2C trades and providing practical solutions for crypto investors to deal with policy uncertainties.

Analyst: As Tariffs Dim Economic Outlook, Trump Makes Powell a Scapegoat

On April 18th, CNN analyst Stephen Collinson declared that on Thursday, Trump once more launched a vehement attack on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell. This has cast an even darker shadow over the already volatile financial markets and economic outlook, which have been continuously hit by tariffs and trade wars. In the Oval Office, Trump informed reporters, "If I desired to, I would be capable of firing him very promptly. I have no doubts about it. I am extremely dissatisfied with him." Trump is extremely furious because Powell has ignored his repeated requests for a quick rate cut. A rate cut could have made it simpler for Americans to obtain loans for buying houses, boosted consumer confidence, and lifted the stock market. The Fed had cut rates three times last year when inflation was already close to the target level. However, against the backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, the Fed paused this strategy. This uncertainty has been further intensified by Trump's unpredictable leadersh
