In his latest endorsement of his tariff plan on foreign countries, US President Donald Trump says the tariffs will help lower taxes in the US. Trump held a meeting with his Cabinet on Monday, where he addressed his ongoing tariff plan. Before the meeting, Trump also said he would impose a 25% tariff on any country that buys oil or gas from Venezuela, the latest in a long line of tariffs. JUST IN: President Trump says tariffs will help lower taxes. — Watcher.Guru (@WatcherGuru) March 24, 2025 Trump’s tariff plans have been analyzed and criticized by several experts since he returned to office this past January. While the 47th President claims the tariffs will ultimately benefit the US and taxpayers, many experts suggest it’s not that simple.

However, some economic policy experts say there isn’t a big enough tax base for imported goods to completely replace revenue fro...

Former Coinbase executive Balaji Srinivasan thinks Trump should consider airdropping his newly launched official memecoin to his supporters. Srinivasan tells his 1.1 million followers on the social media platform X that Trump is “now strongly incentivized to legalize cryptocurrency in the most aggressive way possible.” But he also argues there’s an “alignment problem” with the new TRUMP coin. “As context: the CEO of a company is typically one of the largest shareholders, but he is aligned with all his employees because they hold the same shares. All holders rise and fall as one, ideally. By analogy, you would ideally want the President to be aligned with his citizens, such that they all held (say) USA coin, which gave some dividend from the profits of the USA. Kind of like the Alaska Permanent Fund. So, one way of solving the alignment problem would be for Trump to airdrop some TRUMP to every US citizen. However, it might be e...

Wall Street investment banking giant Morgan Stanley is reportedly considering adding crypto trading to its online E-trade brokerage platform. According to a Jan. 2 report by The Information, the wealth manager’s decision is based on the anticipated friendlier digital asset policy in the US under incoming President Donald Trump, who wants to make the US “the world’s crypto capital.” Morgan Stanly Could Challenge Coinbase’s Dominance In the Market Morgan Stanley completed its acquisition of E-Trade in 2020 through a $13 billion all-stock deal. If Morgan Stanley adds crypto trading to E-Trade, it would make it one of the biggest traditional retail brokerages to implement support for digital asset trading. This could lead to some healthy competition for the leading US crypto exchange, Coinbase. Other traditional brokerage firms such as Robinhood, Fidelity and Interactive brokers already offer crypto trading on their respective platforms. Meanwhile, Charl...

Donald Trump’s family-run World Liberty Financial crypto project has reportedly lifted the code of a blockchain app that was previously hacked for $2 million. That’s according to a report from CoinDesk, which also reveals that the project lists Trump as its “Chief Crypto Advocate,” his two older sons Eric Trump and Donald Jr as “Web3 Ambassadors,” and his 18-year-old son Barron as a “DeFi visionary.” World Liberty Financial is apparently a borrowing and lending service that claims to highlight “the power of blockchain in an accessible way.” It also has its own non-transferable token called $WLFI which will be used for in-app governance.  However, the project looks eerily similar to a blockchain app called Dough Finance which lost $1.8 million in a flash loan attack back in July. Dough also has links to four of World Liberty Financial’s creators.  Screenshot from CoinDesk’s deputy managing editor showing Dough Finance (left) and World...
