CBS: U.S. Treasury Secretary and Trump Once Had Heated Debate on Tariff Policy

2025.04.16 12:40:33

On April 16th, CBS News, citing multiple sources, stated that although the White House has been attempting to claim that Trump administration officials have been unified on U.S. tariff policy, internal differences over the policy had emerged weeks prior to Trump signing the so-called "reciprocal tariff" executive order on April 2nd. A senior Trump adviser was reported to have warned in private conversations that some tariff proposals could have a catastrophic impact on global financial markets and send the U.S. economy into a downward spiral. CBS reported that U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bennett and Trump's trade and manufacturing policy adviser Peter Navarro had a confrontation in late March in the office of White House Chief of Staff Susan Wells. According to multiple sources, Navarro advocated for a uniform 25% tariff on $3 trillion worth of imported goods, while Bennett, a former Wall Street investor, warned that this move would trigger market turmoil and outlined various risk scenarios. The report said that there was constantly heated rhetoric being exchanged.

Tom Lee: Crypto Market 'Super Cycle' Is Coming, ETH Will Benefit from Wall Street Tokenization and AI Agent Wave

May 27: Bitmine Chairman Tom Lee maintains his bullish stance that the cryptocurrency market is entering a new "super cycle," identifying Ethereum as the key asset set to benefit most from this trend. Lee cites two core catalysts driving this cycle: Wall Street-led asset tokenization and the rapid expansion of AI Agents. Lee notes that Ethereum’s recent significant pullback offers an attractive buying opportunity. Staking activity in the Ethereum ecosystem continues to grow, with over 39.2 million ETH currently staked—accounting for roughly 32% of the blockchain’s total supply. Separately, BlockBeats reported yesterday that Bitmine added 111,942 ETH to its holdings last week. The firm now holds a 4.47% stake in Ethereum’s total supply, which stands at approximately 1.207 billion ETH.

Double Warning: Fed Should Raise Rates, Inflation Fight at Risk

May 27 – Citadel Securities is calling on the Federal Reserve to adjust its policy stance immediately, warning that inaction could leave the central bank “behind the curve” amid resurgent inflation and a persistently overheated U.S. economy. The firm argues inflation, not the labor market, poses the greater current risk to America’s economic outlook. Citadel Securities’ analysis highlights that U.S. April CPI surged 3.8% year-over-year – the sharpest inflation jump since 2023 – driven partly by oil price increases tied to the U.S.-Iran conflict. Adding to economic momentum: the ongoing AI investment boom and loose financial conditions, which are further stimulating growth, the firm says. Its internal model finds current interest rates are nearing the neutral rate, a level that fails to align with the market’s expectation of strong economic expansion. Bill Dudley, the former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, is also sounding the alarm over the Fed’s eroding reputation

Bankless Founder's ETH Decumulation Journey: The Monetary Thesis Fully Priced In, Bullish on the Network But No Longer Overweight in Asset

May 27: Bankless co-founder David Hoffman published a detailed post explaining why he liquidated his entire Ethereum spot holdings, emphasizing the decision was not made on impulse. Hoffman stated the big-picture narrative of "ETH as money" hasn’t collapsed—it’s just fully priced in and reached its inevitable end state. The Ethereum network is valued correctly for its current achievements, and the asset itself is unlikely to get a fresh reprice from the market, either up or down. He remains extremely bullish on the Ethereum network, believing its ecosystem will thrive massively—though only a tiny fraction of that success will keep showing up in ETH’s price. Hoffman’s core logic is this: Ethereum is a "giver, not a taker." It provides the most secure block space, global asset tokenization services, and a massive DeFi infrastructure all at near-cost to L2s and the broader ecosystem, with no markups on any services—effectively making it the world’s most successful open-source nonprofit.
