ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, Bitcoin and other major cryptocurrencies saw a decline in price on Wednesday due to the new tariff measures imposed by Trump.OKX Global Chief Business Officer Lennix Lai stated, "In my opinion, the notion that Bitcoin is decoupling from traditional markets seems premature. While there are encouraging signs that the correlation between Bitcoin and stocks is weakening, Bitcoin is still closely related to the global liquidity situation, and gold remains a hedge against geopolitical instability."

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi Data reports, Trump's reciprocal tariffs on dozens of countries officially took effect today, which is expected to deepen the risks of a global trade war, although he is prepared to negotiate with some countries. Trump's punitive tariffs have shaken the global trade order that has lasted for decades, raising concerns about an economic recession and leading to a significant decline in global stock markets.Since Trump announced the tariffs a week ago, the S&P 500 index has lost nearly $6 trillion in value, marking the largest four-day drop for the benchmark index since its inception in the 1950s. The index is now close to a bear market, having fallen 20% from its recent peak. After a brief respite, the sell-off in Asian markets resumed on Wednesday, including the Nikkei index, which fell more than 3% during the day, while the Korean KOSPI index dropped over 1% intraday.

Since the 3rd of this month, the global stock market capitalization has shrunk by $10 trillion, slightly more than half of the EU's GDP.Among them, the U.S. stock market itself has suffered heavy losses, with the total market value of the seven major tech giants in the U.S. evaporating by approximately $1.65 trillion during this period. Notably, Apple, which heavily relies on overseas supply chains for its product manufacturing, has seen its stock price drop nearly 23% over the past four trading days.

ChainCatcher news, according to Fortune magazine, two sources said that the largest lobbying force in the U.S. business community, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, is considering suing the Trump administration to block the new tariffs set to take effect on Wednesday. The organization represents millions of businesses of all sizes in the U.S. and has received significant funding from industry giants. It has been weighing the possibility of taking the tariff dispute to court, and some of its larger members are also urging this action. One source mentioned that other groups may also join the Chamber in filing a lawsuit.

ChainCatcher news, Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio warned in a social media post that the current market is overly focused on tariff issues while neglecting the deeper systemic crisis behind it.Dalio pointed out that we are experiencing a typical collapse of monetary, political, and geopolitical order, a situation that usually occurs only once in a lifetime. This is manifested in: excessively high levels of debt, unsustainable trade capital imbalances, the decline of U.S. manufacturing, domestic political polarization, and the rise of U.S. unilateralism.Dalio believes that these changes are part of a historical cycle and calls on policymakers to understand these forces to formulate better policies. He emphasized that the current tariff dispute is merely a manifestation of these larger transformative forces, not the root cause.
