#TariffsPause
Trump's 90-day tariff pause, dropping rates to 10% for most countries except China (125%), has pros and cons. Pros: It eases crypto platform costs, as centralized exchanges like Coinbase benefit from cheaper imported tech. Markets rallied, boosting crypto prices. It buys time for trade talks, reducing uncertainty. Cons: Ongoing 10% tariffs still raise costs for decentralized platforms relying on global hardware. China's 125% tariff escalates trade tensions, potentially disrupting crypto supply chains. Uncertainty persists, as the pause may not lead to permanent relief, affecting long-term planning for both platform types.
