Alan Wm. Wolff has laid out six different scenarios for how the Supreme Court might rule on the IEEPA tariff case—and each outcome could reshape the regulatory landscape in ways that matter to the digital asset space.

The International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives the executive branch significant authority over trade policy, but the specifics of this ruling will determine how much congressional oversight applies going forward. Whether the Court sides with expansive executive power or reins it in could directly impact how tariff policies affect blockchain infrastructure, international crypto exchanges, and cross-border transactions.

Wolff's analysis breaks down the nuances: some paths maintain the status quo, others require legislative action, and a few fundamentally shift the balance between branches of government. For anyone tracking policy developments in Web3, understanding these six scenarios helps clarify what's at stake—and which outcomes might reshape compliance frameworks across the industry.
