▌Trump says it won 't suspend tariff policy
US President Trump said on the 7th that he will not suspend the so-called "reciprocal tariff" policy. Trump told the media after the White House talks with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu that day that he had no consideration to suspend tariff policies and leaders of many economies were seeking to negotiate with him. He believes that forcibly implementing tariff policies and conducting negotiations are not contradictory. Trump also said that he rejected the EU's proposal to exempt tariffs from the United States earlier that day, "No, this is not enough" and "they deceived us on trade issues." Netanyahu told the media after the talks that Israel will eliminate the trade deficit with the United States as soon as possible. According to U.S. government data, the bilateral trade volume between the United States and Israel is about US$37 billion in 2024, and the Israeli trade surplus with the United States is US$7.4 billion.

▌ WLFI intends to airdrop USD1 to all WLFI holders for testing airdrop function
World Liberty Financial has issued a governance proposal that suggests testing the technical capabilities of their on-chain airdrop system by airdropping a small amount of USD1 to all current $WLFI holders, while thanking early supporters.
The proposal shows that the airdrop will be conducted on the Ethereum main network, and the specific amount will be finalized by WLFI based on the total number of wallets that meet the conditions and the budget, and the funds will be borne by the company. Qualified wallets are required to hold any amount of $WLFI, and other eligibility criteria and airdrop time will be determined by the company in its sole discretion.
World Liberty Financial said that even if the proposal is approved, the company reserves the right to suspend, modify or terminate the test airdrop and can set other eligibility conditions. This move is designed to verify the functionality of smart contracts, increase USD1 market awareness, and express gratitude to early supporters.

▌Seven Republican senators "turned over" the tariff restriction bill first appeared
According to US media Axios, Trump will veto legislation proposed by Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell of Washington and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa to restrict the president's unilateral tariffs. Seven Republican senators have signed the bipartisan legislation that is becoming a way for Republicans to express their concerns about Trump’s tariff policies. Cantwell said: "It is not common for a bill to be first proposed to have so many people, but I think it shows people's anxiety. According to a person familiar with Trump's ideas, Trump was annoyed by the bill's proposal. A government policy statement sent to the U.S. Congress office today stated that if the bill is passed, it will hinder the president's powers and responsibilities to establish our foreign policy and protect our national security, and if the bill is passed in Congress and handed over to the president, he will veto the bill.

▌ Ripple and BCG predict that the asset tokenization market size will reach US$18.9 trillion in 2033
According to CoinDesk, Ripple and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) jointly conducted research, the global asset tokenization market is expected to exceed US$18.9 trillion by 2033. The report pointed out that although blockchain technology can significantly improve the liquidity of traditional assets and reduce transaction costs, obstacles such as imperfect regulatory frameworks and lack of market infrastructure still need to be overcome. The forecast covers diverse asset classes such as real estate and private equity, and Ripple emphasizes that its blockchain solutions have been verified in pilot projects of some institutions.
▌View : The high correlation between Bitcoin and traditional markets is often short-lived
Bitcoin’s recent performance is closely related to the S&P 500 index, but this correlation will fluctuate significantly over time. For example, as the two asset classes moved in the opposite direction in the last 50 days, the correlation turned negative in June 2024. In addition, although the correlation indicator exceeded the 60% threshold for 272 days in two years (about 38% of the period), this figure is statistically inconclusive.

▌U.S . House Speaker: House of Representatives will still give Trump 's global tariff plan "green light"
According to US media Politico, U.S. House Speaker Johnson said on Monday that even if some Republican lawmakers publicly beg Trump to negotiate a way to lift tariffs before the tariffs take effect on Wednesday, the House of Representatives will still provide "space" for Trump to implement his large- scale global tariff system. "We'll give him the space necessary to implement policies and then see how things will go," Johnson said. The speaker went on to say that Trump is "actively involved and trying to solve" the trade deficit. Oppositions within the Republican Party are presented in the form of a joint bipartisan legislation designed to reclaim Congress’s powers in tariffs from the president. Previously, Democratic Senator Maria Cantwell and Republican Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa proposed legislation to limit the president's unilateral tariff power. U.S. Rep. Don Bacon (R. Nebraska) plans to propose a House version of the legislation on Monday. Johnson on Monday refused to publicly promised to submit the revised Senate budget plan to the House for a vote this week due to strong opposition from a group of fiscal conservatives. However, some senior Republican aides said the current plan is to hold a final vote on Wednesday afternoon as originally planned.
