U.S. imposes 25% import tariffs on semiconductors not destined for domestic use. The policy shift could ripple through the blockchain mining sector, as GPU and ASIC chip procurement becomes costlier. Miners and hardware manufacturers watching closely to see how this affects mining margins and equipment availability. Worth monitoring for anyone tracking operational costs in the Web3 infrastructure space.

Mining machines are going to increase in price again, which will directly raise the mining costs... The competition for computing power is about to become even more brutal.

Mining costs are going to rise again, and now the chip supply chain is getting more competitive... Need to find ways to cut costs, or profits will be directly halved.
