【Crypto World】The latest statement from the U.S. Department of the Treasury has attracted market attention. Treasury Secretary Bissent recently revealed that if the U.S. Supreme Court rules against the current government’s tariff policy, the Treasury is well prepared to承担 any potential refund liabilities.

This statement reflects an early strategic positioning regarding legal risks. As tariffs are a key lever of current economic policy, any judicial uncertainty is bound to influence market expectations. Especially for market participants highly sensitive to global trade, such policy movements often serve as signals for asset allocation adjustments.

From the perspective of fiscal reserves, the U.S. side’s statement that “funds are sufficient” essentially conveys a certainty to the market—that regardless of the final judicial outcome, the consistency and stability of policy implementation are guaranteed. This tone plays a significant role in stabilizing market sentiment.

Alright, here comes the usual "sufficient funds" excuse. Basically, it's just psychological preparation for the court ruling. This move by the Treasury Secretary is indeed a warning to the market, but when it comes to refunds, can the US really hold up? The most disgusting thing about tariffs is the uncertainty. As on-chain players, what we fear most is policy reversal. No matter how nicely it's said, it doesn't change the fact: the bet has already been placed. Wait, is this funding really "sufficient" or just another bluff? History will tell us the answer.

Ha, is this a preemptive plan before the court ruling? Basically, it's just fear of losing, but you have to pretend to be very confident. Tariffs have the biggest impact on the crypto circle. Sufficient funds = I can afford to lose, sounds tough, but it feels a bit hollow. The most important thing is how the court rules; just saying you have enough isn't enough. Let's wait and see the follow-up; this time is indeed a bit different.

Well, that means if the court gets it wrong, they have to pay up. Americans are quite confident about that.

Ah, so you're leaving yourself a backup plan. The Ministry of Finance's move is quite interesting. If the court's ruling were to go against us, how big of a splash could this refund make? If the tariffs issue continues, how will the crypto circle move? Has anyone analyzed it? No more talking, let's stock up on some stablecoins first. There are definitely more variables in this game.

This rhetoric sounds like a reassurance to the market, but is there really enough confidence... Over here in the US, saying that funds are sufficient feels like an indirect hint that the Supreme Court might actually oppose, otherwise why emphasize it specifically? The Department of the Treasury's recent move is quite interesting, putting the refund issue on the table in advance. Tariff policies still need to be further hyped up; legal disputes are the real unpredictable factor. Basically, it's about stabilizing morale—don't panic and sell off; we've got the funds to back us up. If we really lose the lawsuit, that refund could be an astronomical amount... Wow, before even going to war, they’re already talking about how to compensate if they lose—this confidence is a bit ironic.
