A tariff is a tax imposed by a government on imported or exported goods. It's mainly used to protect local industries or generate revenue.
How tariffs affect the crypto market:
While tariffs are not directly applied to cryptocurrencies (since crypto isn't a physical good), they can still impact the market indirectly. Here's how:
1. Economic Tensions
Tariffs can spark trade wars (e.g., U.S. vs. China).
Investors might see crypto as a safe haven during economic uncertainty, causing crypto prices to rise.
2. Cost of Mining Equipment
Many crypto miners rely on hardware (like GPUs or ASICs) from abroad.
If tariffs increase the cost of importing this tech, it can raise mining costs and reduce profitability.
3. Supply Chain Disruptions
Tariffs may cause delays or price hikes in electronics or server parts used in the crypto infrastructure, impacting projects and platforms.
4. Global Investment Flow
Tariff policies can influence capital movement. Investors might shift funds to crypto markets to hedge against inflation or currency devaluation caused by economic condition.
