Canada responds strongly to the United States' 'economic and trade pressure'!

Prime Minister Carney recently stated: Canada is facing unreasonable tariff pressure from its largest trading partner—the United States. Therefore, he urged Congress to swiftly pass the 'Economic Integration Act', with the core goal of breaking down interprovincial barriers, unifying market rules, and accelerating infrastructure approvals (from five years to two years), to fully promote domestic economic resilience and efficiency.

Background significance: The United States is using tariffs to pressure allies, and trade protectionism is on the rise;

Canada aims to enhance its bargaining power externally through internal integration;

In the short term, there is uncertainty risk regarding the North American supply chain and Canadian dollar assets volatility.

If the situation escalates, North American funds may partially flow out, and digital assets may benefit in the short term;

The trend of regional economic fragmentation is strengthening, and Web3 and on-chain cross-border finance may receive more policy attention;

Potential positive expectations for vertical projects such as DePIN/cross-border payments.
