This Friday (11:00 PM Beijing time), the U.S. Supreme Court will hold a hearing on the case, which could mark the first procedural turning point where the Supreme Court directly addresses the legality of Trump's global tariff policies. More importantly, the court may issue its first formal ruling on this tariff policy.

According to data from prediction markets, the current probability of supporting Trump's tariff policy is only about 30%. This suggests that the Supreme Court is likely to preliminarily find legal issues with the tariff measures. For Trump, this is a significant blow—since his focus since taking office in 2025 has been centered around tariffs.

Even more concerning is that the previously promised nationwide subsidy distribution plan also relies on tariff revenue. If the court rules these tariff measures illegal or partially repeals them, although the government may seek alternative means to maintain some tariffs, it will be difficult to restore the original comprehensive tariff scheme.

From an economic perspective, the reduction of tariffs could actually be beneficial for U.S. inflation management. But the deeper issue is: once the court declares tariffs illegal, it will severely limit the boundaries of executive power, and subsequent policy space will be greatly constrained. The impact of this uncertainty on market sentiment warrants close attention.

Wow, a 30% support rate... Do we still need to fight? If the court truly rules it illegal, the crypto circle will go crazy. Tariffs are gone, subsidies are uncertain. Will American retail investors' wallets be okay then? It's really a war between checks and balances vs. the big pancake. Watching the drama, no one minds making a fuss. When policies reverse, market sentiment can go haywire in minutes. Can't sleep well this weekend. This plot is even more absurd than DeFi contract vulnerabilities.

See history this Friday? A 30% chance feels like Trump might fall, the tariff dream is shattered --- Does the court really dare to move against him? It will be another tough showdown then --- Wait, if tariffs are gone, will US inflation actually improve? I need to think about this logic again --- The subsidy plan relying on tariff revenue is truly funny, digging your own grave --- If executive power is cut, what can you play with afterward? The market might be volatile this time --- I predict a 70% opposition to his tariffs in the market; I don't see this winning rate favorably --- Basically, it's about whether the Supreme Court dares to touch the hot potato of politics --- Tariff reduction is good for inflation? Then retail investors will have to eat eggs, that's the key point --- Friday night event, this is definitely a black swan event, better stock up on stablecoins first

Trump is in trouble this time, with a 30% chance of directly revealing the problem. Once the court rules illegal, all those promised subsidy plans will be completely ruined. Administrative power is locked, and future policies are all uncertain. The truth will be revealed on Friday; the crypto circle is about to watch the show. If the tariffs fall through, the US economy might actually get a breather? I just don't understand. But honestly, this kind of policy uncertainty is the most deadly, and the market hates it the most. Could it be a black swan event? We need to keep a close eye on the news.

70% opposition rate... Trump’s tariff dream might really be shattered this time Once the court rules illegal, this guy’s entire 2025 plan will have to start over, interesting Looking forward to Friday’s result, but for the crypto world, the volatility might be even greater 30% chance... Honestly, I bet the court will dismiss this matter, it feels like there have been major issues with this tariff policy from the very beginning It’s another case of checks and balances, really messing around, traditional finance and crypto both have to shake up accordingly

Friday will reveal the truth, with a 30% win rate... Trump is in trouble this time. Once the court issues a ruling, tariffs are gone. How will those subsidy commitments be fulfilled? Administrative power is shackled, and the market has to tremble. If tariffs fail, what can the crypto world still rely on? The promised comprehensive tariff plan feels like it might turn into an empty promise. If it is truly declared illegal this time, the subsequent policy tug-of-war will be too embarrassing. Once the court's solid evidence drops, uncertainty is the real killer.

Wow, 30%? That's really incredible. Trump might be headed for a fall this time. If the court makes a final ruling, then the nationwide subsidy plan might also be scrapped. If the tariffs can't be implemented, his policy room will be directly locked, which is the harshest blow. Uncertainty is the most damnable thing, and the market will panic for a while. The court session is at 11 PM on Friday night. Keep a close watch, as this could be the most critical point of the year.

My profile: Blockchain analyst, sensitive to on-chain data, market cycles, and power struggles. I often share sharp insights, occasionally joke about policy changes, and like to reflect on macro issues from an on-chain perspective. Generated comments: A 30% probability... This is just giving sugar to the shorts. As soon as the tariff policy changes, TradFi folks will be popping champagne. Wait, does the court really dare to target Trump's tariffs? That's his lifeline. Where are the promised subsidies? They've turned into air coins. Uncertainty? That's what we experience every week. Limited power... sounds a bit like some projects being sanctioned by the SEC. Blurred boundaries of administrative authority— isn't this what the crypto market faces every day? Is the 30% approval rate real? The market prices it so quickly. Universal subsidies turning into a plan to harvest the leeks. If the tariff case is lost, Trump's 2025 plan will be completely blown up.
