Bitcoin advocate Samson Mow, who serves as chief executive officer of the bitcoin infrastructure firm JAN3, commented on social media platform X this week about the U.S. government’s decision to significantly raise tariffs on Chinese imports and its potential impact on bitcoin’s price. The Trump administration announced on April 10 that total duties on goods from China now stand at 145%, a measure that is already in effect following a 90-day pause on tariff actions involving other nations. Mow linked the move to broader financial impacts, particularly a potential rise in interest rates and a bullish outlook for bitcoin. He wrote: Countries with a trade surplus will invest those surpluses in U.S. Treasuries. Less surplus means less demand for USTs, which means rates rise. Bitcoin is going so much higher. He continued: “I honestly can’t tell if the goal is lowering the 10-year rate to refinance debt on better terms, or if the goal is to increase rates so we accelerate into hyperbitcoinization.” Mow also criticized the notion that high tariffs would bring manufacturing jobs back to the United States, noting systemic obstacles. In a post shared on April 9, he stated: “I have yet to hear exactly how high tariffs with China (being presented as a win) will revitalize jobs and production in the U.S., given input costs for raw materials and components will be up, a lack of engineering skills, and virtually no manufacturing infrastructure.” The executive also slammed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s suggestion that small businesses could lead industrial rebuilding amid rising tariffs. He questioned how Main Street could fund factory construction, hire workers, or build infrastructure under current economic conditions, calling such expectations unrealistic. Responding to Bessent’s recent comments about potentially delisting Chinese stocks from U.S. exchanges, Mow warned of broader consequences. “This quip from Bessent has second-order effects yet to play out. While obvious to bitcoiners, normies presume that centralized systems will always work in their favor, which is just not true. If Chinese stocks could be removed from U.S. exchanges, why would Chinese investors feel comfortable investing in U.S. securities either? USTs are already losing their place as a safe haven.” Mow predicted: Once the reasoning is worked through, I see a massive flight of Chinese capital to bitcoin. That will only be compounded by RMB devaluation. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到[email protected]，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

China will increase tariffs on U.S. imports to 125% starting April 12, 2025. The move follows the U.S. decision to raise tariffs on Chinese goods to the same rate. Beijing calls the U.S. action a violation of trade rules and economic norms. The State Council Tariff Commission announced the tariff hike today, April 11. The new rate will replace the previous 84% tariff set in March. The decision follows the U.S. government’s April 10 announcement to raise tariffs on Chinese exports to 125% under a “reciprocal tariff” plan. China’s new tariffs will apply to many imported goods from the United States. The commission said that U.S. products are not viable in the Chinese market at the current tariff level.

The new measures are based on China’s Tariff Law, Customs Law, and Foreign Trade Law, along with principles of international law. In addition to the tariff hike, the commission said all provisions outlined in its previous announcements will continue to apply. These earlier measures covered lists of affected products and tariff schedules. Meanwhile, China’s Finance Ministry condemned the latest U.S. actions. “Even if the U.S. continues to impose higher tariffs, it will no longer make economic sense and will become a joke in the history of world economy,” the ministry said. However, if the U.S. insists on continuing to infringe on China’s interests substantially, China will resolutely counterattack and fight to the end,” the statement said. Earlier this month, the U.S. imposed a broad set of “reciprocal” tariffs. While many countries received a 90-day suspension of those tariffs, China was pointedly denied this delay. In a social media post, President Trump accused China of showing “a lack of respect” for global markets and announced an immediate hike to 125%. In Europe, German Finance Minister Joerg Kukies said the EU may consider its response if talks with the U.S. failed. He urged the EU to take a nuanced approach, noting Europe’s trade surplus in goods and deficit in services. He also called for strengthening Europe’s digital services to reduce reliance on U.S. providers. This rapid escalation in US-China trade friction immediately impacted cryptocurrency markets, creating significant volatility. Bitcoin, for instance, dropped below $74,000 before recovering to around $81,500. Around the same time, Ethereum traded lower, slipping over 2% in 24 hours to near $1,548.

Analysts attribute the decline to investor concerns over global economic slowdown and rising inflation driven by the tariff war. Although the immediate impact has been bearish, some market watchers suggest that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin could gain long-term appeal. They believe Bitcoin can serve as a hedge against economic instability, especially if geopolitical tensions persist.

The Czech government lowered its forecast for economic growth because it anticipated that companies would reduce investment due to the risks associated with U.S. tariffs. The Finance Ministry now projects a 2% GDP increase in 2025, down from the earlier 2.3% estimate. Officials noted that weak exports are slowing overall growth, while household spending remains the main driver of expansion. The updated forecast accounts for the impact of previous U.S. tariffs on EU automobile, steel, and aluminum exports but does not factor in President Donald Trump’s more recently announced and subsequently suspended tariffs. A chief economist of the Finance Ministry, David Prusvic, predicted that the uncertain status of international trade will negatively impact corporate spending plans in one of Europe’s most export-dependent economies. Furthermore, in line with reports from sources, Prusvic clarified that their companies’ investment strategies were based on domestic and international economic trends, especially those in the euro area. Meanwhile, the Czech Republic’s primary industries are auto parts and automobile manufacturing, with exports to the EU accounting for around 80% of the nation’s GDP. However, investors are worried about the fate of Trump’s recent tariffs. The Finance Ministry’s recent findings make the situation even worse. According to the ministry, Czech economic growth could drop further to around 1.6% this year if those tariffs are implemented. While the full impact remains uncertain, the ministry suggested that Germany’s proposed fiscal stimulus—given its role as the Czech Republic’s largest export destination—could offer some relief. As Central Europe started calculating the probable costs of a trade war, leaders in the Czech Republic and Poland indicated that they were prepared to retaliate against new U.S. tariffs on April 3, while Hungary, a country in Europe, accused Brussels, the capital city of Belgium, of causing tensions with Washington. Furthermore, Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, called the U.S. President Donald Trump’s universal tariffs a serious setback to the global economy and stated that the 27-member bloc was ready to retaliate with countermeasures if negotiations with Washington broke down. This came after Trump’s remarks caused Central Europe’s stock markets and currencies to drop sharply. The Czech crown was hardest hit as it dropped past the crucial 25 per euro mark in early trading before reducing its losses gradually by making adjustments to minimize the negative impact of the situation. In response, on the social media X platform, Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala posted that having no tariffs was the best option. However, the two parties needed to be willing to agree. He highlighted that Europe was ready to engage in dialogue with the United States, but at the same time, it was prepared to respond clearly. Even though Poland was less vulnerable to risk because of its sizable domestic market and decreased reliance on auto exports, Donald Tusk, the prime minister of Poland, declared that the U.S. decision would slow economic growth and that appropriate decisions on reciprocal tariffs were required. Tusk elaborated on his X account that a preliminary assessment estimated that new U.S. tariffs might decrease Polish GDP by 0.4%. Even under conservative projections, losses are expected to surpass 10 billion zlotys (approximately $2.63 billion). Around 20% to 30% of Central Europe’s exports—largely automobiles—go to Germany, highlighting the region’s deep ties to car manufacturing. According to S&P Global, the new U.S. trade measures threaten to further dampen growth prospects across Central Europe. Last month, the Czech Automotive Industry Association said that its export-oriented auto industry might still suffer despite the Czech Republic having relatively little direct exposure to United States sales. The Czech Automotive Industry said in a statement that the tariff increase announced would “massively” affect many Czech parts and services suppliers, especially those that supply customers in Germany. This would result in a major loss of orders and fewer export opportunities. Erste Group economists warned that Slovakia could experience an even sharper impact, with the cumulative effect of the tariffs potentially shaving 1.5 percentage points off its GDP over the next three years.

OpenAI has filed a lawsuit against Elon Musk, accusing the billionaire tech figure of attempting to sabotage the AI company through a pattern of disruption through what it calls a pattern of disruption – including an allegedly fraudulent acquisition proposal reportedly worth $97.375 billion. The suit, filed in a California district court, seeks financial damages and orders (injunctive relief) intended to stop Musk’s alleged interference, claiming Musk’s actions aimed to harm OpenAI while benefiting his rival firm, xAI. The legal filing claims Musk first tried to gain control of OpenAI after unsuccessfully pushing for it to shift from its original nonprofit structure to a for-profit model with himself installed as CEO and majority shareholder. OpenAI alleges that internal emails, presented as evidence , show Musk proposing to take complete ownership in return for funding – an offer OpenAI declined. The lawsuit goes on to assert that Musk later used public platforms and legal pressure to interfere with the company’s operations and partnerships. “Musk has tried every tool available to harm OpenAI,” the complaint states, citing press statements, legal claims, and social media posts shared on X . OpenAI claims his actions disrupted OpenAI’s relationships with current and potential investors, increasing operational burdens and raising employee concerns about possible instability. Related: OpenAI Now Worth $300 Billion After Massive $40B Funding Round OpenAI’s legal team argues that Musk’s $97.375 billion offer to buy the company was never genuine. According to the complaint, Musk provided no clear funding source behind the proposal, and the massive figure appeared disconnected from any standard business rationale. The company even suggests, without naming it, that the number referenced Musk’s preferred science fiction series. Related: Sam Altman’s $9.74B Twitter Offer To Elon Musk’s $97.4B OpenAI Bid The complaint further claims that Musk’s actions were “intentionally designed” to interfere with OpenAI’s business and limit its ability to compete in the AI sector. The filing suggests that Musk sought to secure an advantage for his company, xAI, by undermining OpenAI’s credibility and stability. This legal action by OpenAI comes after Musk sued the organization himself back in March. Musk’s suit alleged OpenAI violated what he claimed was a “Founding Agreement” by abandoning its non-profit mission and failing to make its technologies open source. OpenAI countered then that no such binding founding agreement existed in the way Musk described, and produced emails allegedly showing Musk was aware of and even supportive of the planned shift towards a for-profit structure.

Popular asset manager 21Shares has made history by launching Europe’s first Dogecoin (DOGE) Exchange-Traded Product (ETP). 21Shares collaborated with the House of Doge to create the only DOGE ETP endorsed by the Dogecoin Foundation. According to the announcement , the 21Shares Dogecoin ETP with the DOGE ticker is scheduled to go live on Europe’s SIX Swiss exchange. The product is backed physically 100%, providing investors with a sure way to gain exposure to Dogecoin through traditional financial channels. Additionally, 21Shares will charge investors a 2.5% management fee. The new DOGE ETP will empower new types of investors to participate in the Dogecoin ecosystem. Therefore, the product will help to reinforce Dogecoin’s role as a leader in the future of digital assets. Advisory Board Member at House of Doge Jens Wiechers said institutional support and corporate partnerships are essential for Dogecoin to reach its full potential as a global currency. He added that 21Shares DOGE ETP provides a regulated path for institutions to participate in the ‘Dogecoin is Money’ vision. “Global adoption is critical, and we’re excited to take this next step – ensuring Dogecoin stays fun, but gains the credibility and backing needed to thrive at scale,” he concluded. Dogecoin launched in 2013 as a light-hearted alternative to Bitcoin. However, it has become one of the most widely recognized and accessible cryptocurrencies. The memecoin is known for its low fees, fast transaction speeds, and increasing merchant adoption. Leading brands like Microsoft and AMC Theatres already accept Dogecoin as a payment method. In a recent study, we reported , Cardano Founder Charles Hoskinson proposed that Elon Musk integrate Dogecoin on social media X, formerly Twitter. Hoskinson mentioned that an old Bitcoin 2 roadmap he had written years ago could form the base for DOGE’s inclusion on X. Besides its technical advantages, Dogecoin has built a highly engaged and socially impactful community. Supporters of the memecoin have also helped to drive initiatives ranging from charitable fundraising to financial accessibility efforts. Meanwhile, talks about a potential Dogecoin Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) approval are growing in the crypto market. As previously mentioned in our report, this follows filings from asset managers like Bitwise, Rex Shares, and Osprey Funds. Bloomberg Senior ETF Analysts Eric Balchunas and James Seyffart have predicted that the SEC will likely recognize these filings. With a pro-crypto administration under Donald Trump, market participants are optimistic about a possible DOGE ETF launch this year. Furthermore, the launch of the first XRP ETF in the US has sparked expectations for a DOGE ETF soon. However, the price of DOGE has yet to reflect the excitement about the ETP launch. DOGE’s price is currently trading at $0.145, down 3.35% from the previous day.
