Ethan Vera noted that the introduction of tariffs on imported mining equipment in the USA will create significant changes in the market. Russian companies will be able to purchase ASIC miners at lower prices and in larger volumes, giving them a competitive advantage. At the same time, the development of mining infrastructure in the USA will slow down due to the increased cost of imported devices, especially after the increase in tariffs from 12.6% to 26-38% in July. The main supplier of equipment remains the Chinese company Bitmain, which controls over 80% of the ASIC miner market. The rise in tariffs will force American mining firms to seek new markets for procurement, such as Canada, Chile, Brazil, and Argentina. Many miners will be forced to sell their bitcoin reserves to cover increased costs and maintain profitability. Additionally, in Russia, there has been a proposal to introduce a tax on renting equipment and providing computing power for mining, which could further impact the global cryptocurrency sector.$BTC $USDC $BNB
