In 2025, US tariff revenue hit a new record. Data shows that the total tariff income for the year reached $264 billion, an increase of $185 billion compared to 2024, representing a growth of 234%. December's performance was particularly remarkable — tariff revenue soared to $28 billion, a month-on-month increase of 300%, far exceeding the average of $31 billion in October and November.

What is even more noteworthy is the trend of the growth rate. In the second half of the year, monthly tariff income stabilized around $30 billion. If this trend continues into 2026, it is expected that tariff revenue could surpass the $360 billion mark, with a year-on-year growth of approximately 36%. These series of data indicate that the US fiscal policy adjustments are sending strong signals, and changes in the macroeconomic landscape have already begun to influence global market expectations, with the volatility of the crypto market inevitably reshaping accordingly.

Hmm... these numbers look pretty intimidating, but if it really hits the crypto world, it'll be over.

This growth rate is insane, 234%? Feels like something's going to go wrong.

Damn, these numbers are crazy, a 234% increase... Is the US harvesting all the world's profits? With such a surge in tariffs, the crypto world has to tremble along. This move by the Federal Reserve makes it feel like the dollar is about to raise interest rates... Wait, a target of 360 billion dollars? Will it get even more intense next year? Now the global trade landscape is really about to be reshuffled. With the tariff war escalating like this, is crypto truly a safe haven or just a sacrificial offering?

Bro, these tariff numbers are crazy, a 234% increase? The crypto world is about to shake --- The Federal Reserve's move is just trying to pull money back, but the question is, who will foot the bill? --- Wait, 28 billion in December alone, how many industries does that have to crush? --- If this trend continues, by 2026 it will surpass 360 billion, can our coins still be good😅 --- A change in fiscal policy instantly crushes the crypto market, it's too realistic --- These numbers look great, but the real unlucky ones are those doing business in the US, the pressure ultimately shifts into the market --- I just want to know how this tariff revenue will be spent in the end, will it hit the stock market or the bond market? --- Tariffs, after all, the cost still falls on the sheep, consumer prices will only keep rising --- With a scale of 360 billion, it's enough to change the global supply chain pattern, and the crypto market will be passively re-priced
