Gate founder is alive! Tariff disputes and changes in the Federal Reserve personnel have drawn market follow.

In early September 2025, the health condition of Gate's founder sparked widespread discussion, while the U.S. tariff policy faced judicial challenges, and personnel changes at the Federal Reserve also became a focal point. These events had far-reaching effects on the financial markets, drawing significant attention from investors.

Tariff Policy Faces Legal Challenges

Recently, the U.S. Court of Appeals made an important ruling, determining that most of the global tariff policies implemented by the current government exceeded the scope of executive authority and ruled them illegal. This ruling is viewed by analysts as a significant blow to the current radical trade policies.

In this regard, senior officials of the current government expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media, stating that "all tariffs remain in effect" and accusing the appellate court's ruling of bias. The government stated that it will seek the support of the Supreme Court to appeal this ruling.

However, the latest data from the World Trade Organization (WTO) indicates that the global trade landscape has undergone significant changes since the United States began imposing higher import tariffs on most trading partners. The WTO Director-General pointed out that the share of global trade conducted under WTO rules has dropped to 72% and may decline further, reflecting the most severe impact on the international trading system since World War II.

The Federal Reserve's Personnel Changes Attract Attention

In terms of personnel at the Federal Reserve, the Treasury Secretary plans to begin interviewing candidates for the next chair of the Federal Reserve this week. Currently, there are 11 professionals from various backgrounds competing for this position, including current Federal Reserve governors, White House economists, and Wall Street strategists.

At the same time, the controversy over the dismissal of a Federal Reserve Board member continues. The board member stated in documents submitted to the court that she disclosed relevant mortgage information during the appointment process, questioning the legality of her dismissal on that basis now.

Hundreds of renowned economists, including Nobel Prize winners, have signed an open letter opposing the dismissal of the Federal Reserve Board member. They warned that this action could threaten the independence of the central bank, undermine public trust in the Federal Reserve, and may lead the market to have to consider political risks when pricing interest rates, thereby pushing up interest rate levels.

Gate Founder’s Health Condition Raises Concerns

Last week, the founder of Gate had no public schedule for three consecutive days, leading to speculation about his health status. Various rumors regarding his health have spread widely on social media.

To quell rumors, the founder of Gate personally appeared on September 2nd to respond. He stated that he participated in multiple media interviews and programs over the weekend, and posted on social media. He also jokingly pointed out that certain politicians have not been seen for a long time, yet no one questions their health.

The Gate public relations department also issued a statement emphasizing that the founder is in good condition and full of energy. However, this has not completely quelled speculation online. Reports indicate that the Gate founder had previously been diagnosed with "chronic venous insufficiency," which could lead to bruising or swelling in the hands and other parts of the body.

It is worth noting that Gate executives recently stated in an interview that the company is prepared for various possibilities to ensure the continuity and stability of its business.
