ChainCatcher news, according to a report by the Financial Times cited by Jinshi, former U.S. Treasury Secretary Yellen warned that Trump's tariffs would have a "huge adverse" impact on the U.S. economy, as they "hinder" companies that rely on critical mineral supplies from China. Trump's broad tariffs on trade partners could push the U.S. into recession. "(The tariff strategy) will have extremely adverse effects on the U.S., on consumers, and on the competitiveness of businesses that rely on imported raw materials. About 40% of the goods imported into the U.S. are raw materials used for domestic production. I am not ready to say that I predict a recession, but it is certain that the possibility has increased significantly."

Our country is about to experience prosperity, but first, we must eliminate the economic shadow left by Biden. This will take time------ it has nothing to do with the tariff policy, purely because he left a mess. But when the economy takes off, its scale will be unprecedented. Stay patient!!!"

ChainCatcher message, Nick Tomaino, founder of 1confirmation, stated on platform X, "There is a negative correlation between the hype of the seed round stage and the success of the project. Participating in a hot funding round is indeed exciting: high funding amounts, intense competition, well-known investors, extensive media coverage, etc. However, participating in such 'hot projects' before product-market fit is clear rarely leads to truly outstanding results. Some of the most 'hyped' projects we invested in at 1confirmation turned out to be the worst investments. There are a few reasons for this:Creating market hype is a skill, but it is completely different from the ability to build useful products.Founders who are 'crowned' too early may feel they have already succeeded, thus losing their 'killer' instinct.Over-funding often leads to distraction and lack of focus.I would choose focused and accountable founders over respected founders who are busy all day."
