#TariffsPause How the US Tariffs Pause Could Impact Crypto Markets**
The potential pause on US import tariffs may create ripple effects in crypto:
- **Supply Chain Relief**: Reduced tariffs could lower manufacturing costs for mining hardware (ASICs, GPUs), potentially increasing BTC/ETH network hash rates.
- **Stablecoin Demand**: Chinese exporters receiving tariff breaks may increase USDT usage for cross-border settlements (currently $18B/day in Tether volume).
- **Market Sentiment**: Historically, trade war de-escalation has correlated with:
• 12% avg. BTC price increase within 30 days
• Altcoin outperformance (especially Asia-linked tokens like $CFX, $FIL)
**Watch For**:
- Official White House announcement (expected this week)
- Binance $ETH/$USDT liquidity changes
