Interesting data has been released. According to the latest research report, the tariff measures implemented between January 2024 and November 2025 are actually quite uneven in their cost distribution — American consumers and importers bear about 96% of the burden, while overseas exporters only absorb 4% through price reductions.

What does this imply? The actual effects of tariff policies differ significantly from expectations. Costs that should have been borne by foreign parties are ultimately passed on to American buyers. Such trade protection policies can trigger chain reactions affecting the global business landscape, commodity prices, and even digital asset liquidity. Especially in the context of increasing economic uncertainty, the volatility of these policies warrants close attention.

96% is on our own people. So this tariff policy is understood now. Wait, so the things we buy are more expensive? Is this what they call "protection"? We need to keep an eye on the chain reaction; cryptocurrency prices are bound to fluctuate.

96% is on oneself, tariffs are basically a self-imposed tax haha Passing the cost to consumers is really clever, it was meant to protect but actually harms How is the liquidity in the crypto market after this move? Has anyone analyzed it? Speaking of which, this data should have been uncovered long ago, the US methods are truly outrageous In the end, tariffs are paid by ordinary people, no doubt about it Even BTC has started to dance with these policies, it feels like this year will be chaotic Once the 96% ratio came out, the ending was obvious, it's clearly a scam It's really self-harm, isn't it? The people designing these policies have no brains... I just want to know if this will inversely boost the safe-haven demand for crypto assets Interesting, the American people are the ones paying the price for this decision

Smiling and then crying, 96% of the pressure is still on our heads. This tariff policy is really "considerate" of us. --- So foreign merchants just cut prices by 4% and that's it? We are the real big losers; this deal is a bit too outrageous. --- The key is that this wave will also trigger a chain reaction in the crypto market liquidity. Wallets are going to shrink, everyone, be mentally prepared. --- Data speaks for itself: the policy is good, but the reality is harsh. Your bills are the most honest. --- 96% vs 4%, this difference is not small at all. No wonder the market sentiment has been so fragile lately. --- Economic uncertainty + policy volatility double buff, I see my wallet trembling. --- The burden is not just shifted to consumers; it will also affect digital assets. This snowball is rolling too fast.

96% is shouldered by consumers? That's outrageous. Americans are just shooting themselves in the foot. Tariff policies are truly a case of lofty ideals versus harsh reality.

Are 96% of the pressures all on American consumers? Isn't this just a covert way of cutting leeks... In the end, the trade war still ends up costing ordinary people?

96% passed on to consumers? That's the reality. Tariffs have never been a shield; they're just a disguised way to cut leeks. --- Wake up, trade protectionism is outdated. Now, digital assets are the real safe haven. --- It's a bit funny. Under the banner of protecting domestic industries, in the end, it's the American people who pay the price—classic move. --- This data directly exposes that tariff policies are not as effective as expected; instead, they complicate the supply chain. --- Basically, it's a political show, with all costs pushed onto ordinary people, while foreign businesses still make money. --- The key is that this volatility will affect the DeFi ecosystem. When liquidity tightens, the entire market has to follow suit. --- 96% haha, it seems that the path of tariffs is indeed a dead end, and it has accelerated the de-dollarization process.
