ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the OM token of the Layer 1 blockchain project MANTRA, which focuses on real-world assets (RWA), dropped by about 10% between 01:20 and 02:20 Beijing time today, and then suddenly plummeted from the then price of $5.21 to about $0.50 (as of the time of this media's report), experiencing a 90% drop in just 90 minutes. Before the project's public Telegram group became inaccessible, community leader Dustin McDaniel downplayed the accusations of team sell-offs, stating that he was not aware of the situation. At 04:51, MANTRA's X account updated that the crash was triggered by reckless liquidations and was unrelated to the project itself. Co-founder John Patrick Mullin mentioned that large OM investors faced massive forced liquidations on CEX and stated that they were addressing the issue.Previously, MANTRA had been accused of controlling a large portion of the token's circulating supply in an attempt to manipulate the token price. In response, Mullin stated, "The OM token has been in circulation since August 2020, longer than most skeptics have been in the crypto space."Some investors pointed out that DeFiLlama data shows the MANTRA protocol's TVL is only about $13 million, while its fully diluted valuation is as high as $9.5 billion, which could be a risk signal. Additionally, Insomniac, the governance lead at Castle Labs, discovered that three wallets recently transferred millions of dollars worth of OM tokens to OKX and Binance, with one wallet receiving about $36 million worth of OM tokens from Binance on March 21 and then transferring about 4.3 million tokens to OKX on Saturday, suggesting a potential sell-off.

ChainCatcher news, Fox Business reporter Charles Gasparino stated on social media, "The market's reaction to 'Tim Apple tariff exemption' is expected to be positive; Nasdaq could surge as the exemption also applies to Nvidia and other large tech companies.Sources indicate that politically, this move further exposes the weak arguments of U.S. Secretary of Commerce Ross and U.S. Trade Advisor Navarro—that high tariffs and other restrictions can 'magically' create jobs domestically. If that were the case, why exempt companies that rely most on foreign labor and components?Investors and CEOs generally believe that this tariff plan is one of the worst policy rollouts in recent years. They all agree that we need a new trade mechanism, and the president's criticisms are well-founded. However, it requires further study and thoughtful action, likely after tax cuts and deregulation take effect, yet the results are quite the opposite."

ChainCatcher news, according to a report by CCTV International News cited by Jinshi, the U.S. government has quietly adjusted its tariff policy, exempting "reciprocal tariffs" on electronic products such as smartphones, laptops, and chips.Regarding this shift, Robert Glaeser, a political science professor at the University of Chicago, bluntly stated that the chain reaction triggered by the tariff policy "has touched the pain points of the U.S. government leadership." U.S. economist Jared Bernstein further revealed the deeper logic, indicating that the exemption of tariffs on certain electronic products is because the Trump administration has begun to realize the impact of tariffs on reality."The continuation of tariff policies may trigger a global financial crisis," he warned, stating that if the impact of tariffs spreads to the bond market, the risk of systemic collapse would surge, potentially triggering a global financial crisis.
