#USElectronicsTariffs Crypto & Tariffs: Trump’s Back, and So Are the Headlines
President Trump has returned—and with him, a fresh wave of tariffs on electronics from countries like China. That means crypto mining essentials like GPUs and chips are seeing price hikes.
Here’s the curveball: while hardware just got pricier, Trump is throwing support behind crypto. He’s blocked the launch of a U.S. central bank digital currency (CBDC) and regulatory pressure on companies like Coinbase is easing.
The takeaway:
Downside: Mining gear is getting more expensive.
Upside: Less legal heat on crypto overall.
It’s a quirky combo—costlier equipment, but a friendlier legal climate. Odd? Yes. Unexpected? Not really.
