1. Trump’s General Crypto Stance (as of 2024–2025):

• Initially skeptical of crypto, Trump called Bitcoin a “scam” in 2021.

• Recently, he has shown more support for crypto, especially NFTs (he even launched his own NFT collection).

• He has criticized heavy regulation on crypto under the Biden administration.

2. Tariffs and Their Indirect Crypto Impact:

• Tariffs on China or other countries can increase hardware costs (e.g., mining equipment), affecting operations for cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

• If Trump reimposes or increases tariffs on tech imports, it may:

• Raise prices of GPUs, ASICs, and other components.

• Affect U.S.-based crypto miners and developers.

3. Future Possibility:

• If elected in 2024, Trump might pursue pro-business, deregulatory policies that could benefit crypto traders and firms.

• However, he may still target China-based crypto operations or mining firms under broader tech or security concerns, which could indirectly affect the global crypto market.
