The Supreme Court’s tariff decision, one of the most important developments of the week for cryptocurrencies, is imminent. Investors had been selling for 4 days with concerns about the uncertainty that would begin with the cancellation of tariffs. Now the decision moment has come. So, what time is it expected to be announced? What awaits investors?
Supreme Court Tariff Decision
The decision will be announced on Friday, US time. Türkiye The decision is expected to come around 18:00 (morning in the USA). However, there is a possibility that this will not be announced in the first minutes of the day. In the normal scenario, the time when the decision is expected to be published directly is 18:00 CET.
Although the court announces its main decision (opinion) at 10:00 in the morning (18:00 TSI), additional orders (shadow docket orders) such as “stay of execution” or “urgent injunction”, which may come immediately after this decision or with a delay, may sometimes come at later hours. In other words, the decision must be announced between 17:00-18:00 at the earliest and 01:00-03:00 at the latest.
In summary, if there is a situation such as a $150 billion tariff revenue refund decision or limited opposition, it may take until the closing of the daily candle for everything to become clear.

We all remember the cryptocurrency declines caused by tariff disputes and showdowns with China or the EU throughout 2025. At this stage, when the court annuls the decision and China says “I am bringing back the rare earth elements export restrictions”, what can Trump, whose tariff authority was taken away, do?
