In a stunning 6-3 decision handed down today, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that President Trump's sweeping global tariffs, imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), are illegal. The ruling strips the executive branch of a major trade weapon and leaves the federal government on the hook for a massive repayment bill. U.S. companies and importers who have already paid roughly $150 billion under these tariffs may now be entitled to get their money back.
But what exactly does this mean for businesses, the broader economy, and the administration's trade agenda? Let’s break it down.
How the $150 Billion Refund Will Work
While the ruling is a massive victory for importers, the cash won't hit their bank accounts overnight. The Supreme Court's decision did not outline a clear, automatic refund process, meaning companies have a legal maze to navigate:
No Automatic Payouts: Importers will likely need to file formal claims or lawsuits; many of which will flow through the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT), to recover their funds.
The Burden of Proof: Only the importers of record who paid the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) directly have a clear path to a refund. Downstream purchasers will need to review supply contracts and consult legal counsel to see if they are eligible.
A Fiscal Headache: If a massive wave of refunds is approved, the U.S. Treasury will face a severe revenue shortfall, forcing the government to find the cash to pay back the estimated $130 billion to $150 billion already collected.
The Economic Impact: A Double-Edged Sword
This ruling sends immediate ripples through the U.S. economy, creating a complex mix of relief and new financial risks.
The Upside: Cooling Inflation and #RateCut
Tariffs inherently raise costs for U.S. companies, which are almost always passed down to the consumer, adding upward pressure on everyday prices.
- With the IEEPA #Tariffs removed, import costs will drop, potentially easing sticky inflation over time.
- This gives the Federal Reserve, currently caught in a tug-of-war between weak economic growth and stubborn inflation, much more breathing room.
- Cooling inflation could clear the runway for more aggressive interest rate cuts without the risk of price spikes. Lower rates would, in turn, supercharge consumer spending, business investment, and the housing market.
The Downside: Deficits and Treasury Yields
On the flip side, losing ongoing tariff revenue while simultaneously refunding up to $150 billion creates intense fiscal pressure. The government will likely have to rely on higher borrowing to bridge the gap, which could put upward pressure on Treasury yields and increase the national deficit.
Trump’s Backup Plan: Slower, but Still Potent
While the Supreme Court removed IEEPA from the president's toolkit, the ruling does not eliminate Trump's ability to wage trade wars. It simply changes the speed and breadth of how tariffs are applied. He still has several formidable tools at his disposal:
Section 232: Allows for tariffs on specific industries justified by "national security." This is already legally tested and can easily be expanded to more sectors.
Section 301: Permits tariffs on specific countries for "unfair trade practices." This was the core legal foundation for many of the administration's tariffs against China.
Section 122: Provides a fast, temporary tariff option to deal with balance of payments deficits, though it is strictly limited in both size and duration (up to 150 days).
Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties: Imposes high tariffs applied through formal legal proceedings to combat unfairly priced or subsidized imports, though these investigations often take years to conclude.
The Bottom Line: IEEPA allowed the administration to impose broad, sweeping tariffs almost instantly. Going forward, new tariffs will require deeper investigations or stronger legal justifications. The era of sector-by-sector tariffs will continue, but the process will now be slower, heavily scrutinized, and fraught with heightened uncertainty.

ارتفعت سوق العملات المشفرة يوم الخميس، مدعومة بأول خفض لأسعار الفائدة من جانب بنك الاحتياطي الفيدرالي الأمريكي منذ أكثر من أربع سنوات، حيث قادت شيبا إينو هذا الانخفاض.
وهذا ما حدث:
🔹 ارتفعت قيمة عملة Shiba Inu ($SHIB ) بأكثر من 20% خلال الـ 24 ساعة الماضية، مما دفع مكاسبها منذ بداية العام إلى 85%، متجاوزة حتى عملتي Bitcoin وDogecoin.
🔹 قبل عام، عانت شركة SHIB من تقلبات السوق، حيث خسرت 90% من قيمتها من أعلى مستوياتها على الإطلاق. لكن الأمور تحولت بشكل كبير.
مقارنات الاستثمار:
كان استثمار 1000 دولار في SHIB قبل عام بسعر 0.000007256 دولارًا سيحقق 137,816,979 SHIB. واليوم، تبلغ قيمة هذا المخزون 2,621.27 دولارًا، مما يمثل زيادة بنسبة 162%.
سيصبح الاستثمار بمبلغ 1000 دولار في البيتكوين الآن بقيمة 2480 دولارًا، وهو ما يعكس زيادة بنسبة 148%.
كان من الممكن أن يتحول استثمار 1000 دولار في Dogecoin إلى 2033 دولارًا، وهو ما يعكس زيادة بنسبة 103٪.
لماذا هذا مهم:
ارتفعت القيمة السوقية الإجمالية للعملات المشفرة من 2.21 تريليون دولار إلى 2.3 تريليون دولار بعد خفض أسعار الفائدة بنسبة 0.5٪ من قبل بنك الاحتياطي الفيدرالي.
ارتفعت قيمة البيتكوين إلى 65 ألف دولار للمرة الأولى منذ الأول من أغسطس/آب، حيث شهدت صناديق الاستثمار المتداولة المرتبطة بالعملة المشفرة خمسة أيام متتالية من التدفقات الصافية.
ويشير محللو الاستثمار في بيرنشتاين إلى أن خفض أسعار الفائدة قد يؤدي إلى إحياء أسواق ائتمان العملات المشفرة وتعزيز القطاعات مثل DeFi.

Pepe Coin ($PEPE ) price has jumped nearly 9%, surviving the Fed’s meeting and its decision to keep target rates unchanged.


Trading at $0.00000837, PEPE is hinting at an extended rally to break $0.000010 with skyrocketing whale holdings in 2025. Will this renewed momentum in the Pepe coin result in a 60% rally to $0.00001465?
Pepe Price Surge Targets Cup and Handle Pattern Breakout
Pepe coin surged 5.28% on May 7, creating a bullish engulfing candle to complete a morning star pattern. This generally relates to a trend reversal, as seen with the intraday recovery of 2.20%. It concludes the declining trend in PEPE that resulted in a streak of seven consecutive bearish candles.
PEPE has surpassed the 23.60% Fibonacci level at $0.00000823 and prepares to challenge the longstanding $0.0000090 resistance. Furthermore, the shift in meme coin’s trend reveals a cup and handle pattern.
The reversal in Pepe’s price from $0.00000576 in early April and the recent bounce back complete the pattern. The neckline of the pattern coincides with the $0.0000090 supply zone.
A decisive daily candlestick close above the neckline will confirm the breakout from the cup and handle pattern. This breakout rally could propel PEPE to hit a price target of $0.000001465 (61.80% Fib level). The target is calculated by adding the depth of the cup to the breakout point.
This aligns with the hopeful Pepe coin price prediction, anticipating a bullish return of the frog-themed meme coin. As PEPE floats above $0.0000075, the Supertrend Indicator signals a sustained bullish outlook.
Additionally, the MACD and Signal lines hint at a crossover as bullish momentum resurfaces. Hence, the technical indicators support the upside potential in the Pepe price trend.

On the flip side, a failure to exceed the neckline will result in another pullback for the Pepe coin. In such a scenario, the downfall could retest the $0.0000075 mark.
Whale Holdings Add 24T PEPE in 2025
Based on IntotheBlock’s Balance by Holding Indicator, the PEPE whale holding (10t to 100t) has increased by 20%. The balance increased from 119.83 trillion PEPE on January 1 to 144.56 trillion on May 7. Such a massive boost in whale holding highlights a strong underlying confidence and increases bull run chances for Pepe.

Rising Long Positions Defend Short Liquidation Risk
As per Coinglass, the PEPE Open Interest stands at $396 million, and long positions hit 52.78% in the last 4 hours. The rising long/short ratio to 1.1177 suggests a surge of optimism. As seen in the Pepe Liquidation Map, the positional build-up defends the $1.64 million long liquidation risk at $0.00000832. Considering the newfound uptrend prolongs, a $1.12 million short liquidation risk looms at $0.00000843.

Hence, as the uptrend continues, a potential surge in short liquidations will fuel the rally in Pepe, increasing the chances of the $0.000010 breakout. Thus, setting the stage for a bullish run toward the $0.00001465 target.
