Trump's Tariff "U-turn": Nasdaq Surges Over 10%, Crypto Market Reacts Positively
Original Article Title: "Trump Plays 'Tariff Magic,' Sending Global Markets into a Spin"
Original Article Author: Mary Liu, via BitpushNews
U.S. President Trump suddenly announced the suspension of retaliatory tariffs against non-retaliatory countries on April 9 local time, this "about-face" not only caught Wall Street analysts off guard, but also triggered a storm in the global capital markets.

Global Market Sees Retaliatory Rebound
A policy shift stimulated a collective rebound in global risk assets. The cryptocurrency market reacted most fiercely, with the price of Bitcoin soaring 8% within an hour of the announcement, briefly surpassing the $83,000 mark. Other major coins saw even greater rebounds, with XRP and Solana both rising over 11%.

The traditional financial markets also saw a long-awaited celebration. The S&P 500 index surged 9.5% in a single day, marking its largest one-day gain since the 2008 financial crisis. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite Index also rose by 8.2% and 10.1%, respectively. Cryptocurrency-related stocks performed particularly well, with Coinbase's stock price soaring 17% and MicroStrategy surging 24%.
Over the past two weeks, Trump has been sticking to a hardline stance, and the rapid shift was unexpected. This indicates that Trump's policy "flexibility" far exceeds market expectations, reflecting the extreme sensitivity of global capital to Trump's trade policy changes.
Analysts Revise Reports Overnight
This dramatic change caught many Wall Street analysts off guard, forcing them to revise their research reports overnight. Goldman Sachs made an emergency adjustment to its economic forecast within just one hour, reducing the probability of a U.S. economic recession in the next 12 months from 65% to 45%, setting a record for the fastest correction on Wall Street.

Jan Hatzius, Chief Economist at Goldman Sachs, explained in the updated report: "Our previous recession forecast was based on the assumption of comprehensive tariff increases, but the policy environment has now changed." However, the bank remains cautious, forecasting that U.S. GDP growth may slow to 0.5% by 2025.
Mixed Reactions on Wall Street
Wall Street quickly formed two distinct camps in response. Bill Ackman, the head of Pershing Square Capital, issued three consecutive tweets praising this decision as a "textbook case of modern trade negotiations." This usually cautious hedge fund giant rarely shows optimism, and his funds have hurriedly increased their positions in industrial stocks by $1.2 billion.

However, "Bond King" Bill Gross holds a starkly different view, warning in an investment memo: "When market swings become a derivative of the president's mood, we are essentially trading the 'Trump put.' This is directly reflected in market data: Goldman Sachs has observed hedge funds frenetically buying volatility derivatives for hedging purposes."
Ben Kurland, CEO of the cryptocurrency research platform DYOR, analyzed: "Trump's 90-day tariff pause is a strategic breather—he has temporarily eased short-term market pressure without relinquishing any bargaining chips, clearly illustrating his transactional, not ideological, approach. This move has calmed investors' anxieties, provided a temporary sense of stability to businesses, but the time frame is not long enough to prompt a genuine supply chain shift or investment decisions."
Market analysts are reminding investors to stay vigilant. Grayscale's Head of Research, Zach Pandl, pointed out: "Short-term volatility cannot mask structural risks, fundamental issues such as a weakened dollar, high inflation, and supply chain restructuring remain unresolved."
Morgan Stanley's monitoring data shows that institutional investors are adjusting their portfolio structures, allocating more funds to safe-haven assets such as gold, U.S. Treasury bonds, indicating a defensive posture, signaling that professional investors are cautious about the future.

BeatSwap is evolving towards a full-stack Web3 infrastructure, covering the entire lifecycle of IP rights.
BeatSwap, a global Web3 Intellectual Property (IP) infrastructure project, is attempting to overcome the current fragmentation limitations of the Web3 ecosystem, building a full-stack system that covers the entire lifecycle of IP rights.
Currently, most Web3 projects are still in the stage of functional fragmentation, often focusing only on a single aspect, such as IP asset tokenization, transaction functionality, or a simple incentive model. This structural dispersion has become a key bottleneck hindering the industry's scale application.
BeatSwap's approach is more integrated, integrating multiple core modules into the same system, including:
· IP authentication and on-chain registration
· Authorization-based revenue sharing mechanism
· User-engagement-driven incentive system
· Transaction and liquidity infrastructure
Through the above integration, the platform builds an end-to-end closed-loop path, allowing IP rights to complete a full cycle of "creation, use, and monetization" within the same ecosystem.
BeatSwap is not limited to existing crypto users but is attempting to take the global music industry as a starting point, actively creating new market demand. Its core strategies include:
Exploring and incubating music creators (Artist discovery)
Building a fan community
Igniting IP-centric content consumption demand
The current global music industry is valued at around $260 billion, with over 2 billion digital music users. This means that the potential market corresponding to the tokenization and financialization of IP far exceeds the traditional crypto user base.
In this context, BeatSwap positions itself at the intersection of "real-world content demand" and "on-chain infrastructure," attempting to bridge the structural gap between content production and financial flow.
BeatSwap's upcoming core product "Space" is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2026. This product is defined as the SocialFi layer in the ecosystem, aiming to directly connect creators with users and achieve deep integration with other platform modules.
Key designs include:
A fan-centric interactive mechanism
Exposure and distribution logic based on $BTX staking
User paths connected to DeFi and liquidity structures
Thus, a complete user behavior loop is formed within the platform: Discovery → Participation → Consumption → Rewards → Trading
$BTX is designed to be a core utility asset within the ecosystem, rather than just a simple incentive token, with its value directly tied to platform activity and IP use cases.
Main features include:
· Yield distribution based on on-chain authorized actions
· Value reflection based on IP usage and user engagement dynamics
· Support for staking and DeFi participation mechanisms
· Value growth driven by ecosystem expansion
With the increased frequency of IP use, the utility and value support of $BTX will enhance simultaneously, helping alleviate the "disconnect between value and utility" issue present in traditional Web3 token models to some extent.
Currently, $BTX has been listed on several mainstream exchanges, including:
Binance Alpha
Gate
MEXC
OKX Boost
As the launch of "Space" approaches, BeatSwap is actively pursuing more exchange listings to further enhance liquidity and global accessibility, laying a foundation for future market expansion.
BeatSwap's goal is no longer limited to the traditional Web3 narrative but aims to target over 2 billion digital music users and a trillion KRW-scale content market.
By integrating content creators, users, capital, and liquidity into a blockchain framework centered around IP rights, BeatSwap is striving to build a next-generation infrastructure focused on "IP tokenization."
BeatSwap integrates IP authentication, authorization distribution, incentive mechanism, transaction system, and market construction to establish a unified structure that bridges the full lifecycle path of IP rights.
With the launch of the Q2 2026 "Space," the project is expected to become a key infrastructure connecting content and finance in the IP-RWA (Real World Assets) track.
