In 2025, US tariff revenue hit a record high. Data shows that the total annual tariff revenue reached $264 billion, a year-on-year increase of 234%, adding $185 billion compared to 2024. Looking specifically at December, monthly tariff revenue soared to $21 billion, with a month-on-month increase of 300%.

The trade policy adjustments reflected in these data have a significant impact on the crypto market. Many traders complain that if tariffs had not frequently become market disturbance factors, the upward potential of Bitcoin would have been unleashed long ago. Uncertainty in policy expectations often suppresses the performance of risk assets, and Bitcoin, as a representative of risk assets, has indeed experienced short-term gains being restrained in an environment of fluctuating policies. From a technical perspective, if these macro disturbances subside, there could be room for Bitcoin to further rise.

With such aggressive tariffs, no wonder BTC is being heavily suppressed. Who would dare to hold a large position with unclear policies?

Laughing to death, coming back to shift the blame to tariffs? I would call this move the "Crypto's Strongest Hand-off" Tariffs increased by 234%? Alright, then what is my loss percentage? Wait, let me count... Oh, no need to count, just consider it infinite. Uncertain policy expectations? Bro, my expectations for holding Bitcoin are also uncertain—whether to hold until liquidation or hold until poverty. If it weren’t for tariffs, Bitcoin would have surged earlier? Sounds like I’m saying, "If only I had access to margin trading, I would have become rich by now." Prices can only rise after tariffs recede? Let’s first wait for tariffs to recede, then wait for policies to stabilize, then wait for the market to warm up, then wait for me to have money to buy in—lining up until the Year of the Monkey.

Tariffs are really annoying. Bitcoin has already gone to the moon. --- Blaming policies again? When the market is bad, it's all this and that. I think we should look at the technicals. --- 234% growth. The US's recent wave of cutting into retail investors has been pretty harsh. --- Policy uncertainty suppresses the rally? So when can we expect certainty... --- Macroeconomic factors need to fade before an upward move? Bro, your prediction is way too optimistic. --- In December, it surged to 21 billion. The government is sucking blood nonstop, while crypto enthusiasts are still thinking about gains. Laugh out loud. --- Tariff revenue doubled or more. Isn't this money ultimately printed into inflation? Yet, I have more confidence in cryptocurrencies. --- So, tariffs go up, but Bitcoin can't move up? This logic feels a bit abnormal to me.
