The US may expand the scope of semiconductor tariffs, putting pressure on crypto mining costs

【CryptoWorld】According to the latest information from the White House, the Trump administration is considering implementing broader import tariffs on semiconductors and related derivatives. If this measure is implemented, it could trigger a chain reaction across the entire crypto industry.

What does rising chip costs mean? For miners, it directly translates to increased hardware costs. Whether it’s ASIC miners or GPU mining equipment, prices will rise accordingly. Coupled with already tight operating costs, profit margins will be significantly squeezed.

This not only affects mining but also impacts the entire Web3 hardware ecosystem. Node operation and on-chain computation costs could also increase. From a macro perspective, tariff policies often increase market uncertainty and may lead to short-term capital hesitation.
