On May 12, U.S. Customs and Border Protection announced that the first batch of refunds for illegal tariffs will begin to be issued, with some American businesses set to receive rebate funds. Last month, the U.S. government launched an online application platform allowing businesses to apply for refunds of tariffs that were previously paid and later deemed illegal by the U.S. Supreme Court. Customs data shows that over 330,000 importers paid a total of approximately $166 billion in related tariffs. As of April 26, at least 75,000 businesses have submitted refund applications. Since early 2025, the U.S. government has invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to implement large-scale tariffs. On February 20 of this year, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling stating that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act does not authorize the president to impose large-scale tariffs, declaring the government's large-scale tariff policy illegal.

On May 12, Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, stated in a post this morning that Bitcoin has not fulfilled its expected role as a safe-haven asset. The reasons include its lack of privacy, the potential for transactions to be monitored or restricted, and its high correlation with tech stocks, which often leads investors to sell Bitcoin for liquidity when other assets are under pressure. Additionally, the relatively small market size of Bitcoin makes it more susceptible to influence, while gold maintains a core position in the global financial system due to its broader ownership and more stable historical status.
