Trump announces at least $2,000 tariff dividends for Americans, triggering a surge in cryptocurrency prices

ChainCatcher reported that after U.S. President Trump announced plans to pay a tariff dividend of "at least" $2,000 to most Americans, cryptocurrency prices saw a moderate increase.

BTC rose about 1.75% in the past 24 hours, surpassing $103,000; ETH increased by approximately 3.32%, rising above $3,487. This uptick occurred after a generally weak week in the market, with the CoinDesk 20 Index also recovering from a nearly 15% weekly decline. However, experts pointed out that the payment plan requires Congressional approval to be implemented, and current tariff revenues are far below the funds needed for such payments.
