Temporary Tariff Pause… But What’s Next for Crypto?
The U.S. just gave tech a breather — pausing tariffs on smartphones, chips, and display panels. Markets reacted fast: a quick bounce in tech stocks and a ripple in crypto confidence.
But let’s not celebrate too soon.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has confirmed it’s only temporary. Within 1–2 months, new semiconductor tariffs are expected — and that could send shockwaves through both tech and crypto sectors.
Why it matters for crypto:
Increased costs for miners and blockchain projects using advanced chips
Pressure on hardware wallet production
Indirect impact on investor sentiment toward tech-aligned crypto projects
Potential shift in Bitcoin mining dynamics if chip prices spike
So the real question is:
Will crypto weather the next tariff wave — or are we in for more volatility?
