As per the plan, the United States will implement reciprocal tariffs on any country that imposes tariffs on the U.S., such as China, Canada, and Mexico. The announcement, set for today, is anticipated to have broad impacts on global markets and the cryptocurrency industry. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the tariffs will take effect immediately after the announcement, marking April 2, 2025, as a significant day in American history. President Trump's speech at 16:00 local time is expected to cause significant market reactions, particularly in the cryptocurrency sector. Analysts from K33 Research, including Vetle Lunde and David Zimmerman, predict that the tariff announcements will result in high market volatility, with Bitcoin's price likely to range between $75,000 and $88,000 throughout April. Given the uncertainty surrounding tariffs, experts recommend exercising caution when investing in cryptocurrencies and suggest limiting exposure to Bitcoin and other digital assets until the situation becomes clearer.

Pump.fun is set to launch a lending platform that will allow users to purchase memecoins and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using borrowed cryptocurrency, as announced by the Solana-based memecoin launchpad. The onchain lending protocol, named Pump.Fi, offers immediate financing for any digital asset, with borrowers required to pay one-third upfront and the remainder over a 60-day period. Pump.Fi will also establish a marketplace for lenders to acquire debt, although it is unclear how the protocol, which does not conduct credit checks, plans to ensure repayment of undercollateralized onchain loans. This move by Pump.fun comes amidst a competitive market, with the platform facing a decline in memecoin trading activity on Solana following various scandals, prompting the introduction of onchain lending to attract more liquidity into the market. Additionally, Pump.fun has expanded its offerings to stay ahead of competitors like Raydium, Daos.fun, GoFundMeme, and Pumpkin, all vying for a portion of Solana's memecoin market share.

Justin Sun once again accused FDT in a post on X: "First Digital Trust (FDT) has been unable to fulfill its obligation to redeem customer funds and is actually insolvent. However, despite the existence of serious violations, the institution continues to operate in Hong Kong under the guise of a public trust. This case illustrates that there seems to be significant loopholes in the Hong Kong trust industry that can be used to avoid financial and banking regulations. This not only poses a risk to the public, but also threatens Hong Kong's reputation as a global financial center. I strongly urge Hong Kong regulatory agencies and law enforcement to take decisive action to plug the loopholes and prevent further losses to the public."
