According to PANews, U.S. President Donald Trump's recent tariff exemption policy over the weekend has led to a significant surge in the cryptocurrency market. Bitcoin reached a high of $85,900, overcoming resistance around $83,000, as the technology sector's burden from high import costs eased considerably compared to 24 hours earlier.
Historically, cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin tend to move in tandem with tech stocks, especially when investor sentiment shifts towards riskier assets. Trump's tariff exemption policy has lifted the cloud over the tech industry, indirectly alleviating pressure on the crypto market. Within hours of the announcement, Bitcoin rebounded to its weekend peak.
The exemption of tariffs on semiconductors and computer components is seen as a long-term benefit for the crypto ecosystem. These components are crucial for cryptocurrency mining, blockchain infrastructure, and AI-based crypto tool development. Continuous and affordable production and supply of these parts ensure the smooth operation of the crypto industry, including exchanges, wallet providers, and tech startups focused on blockchain solutions.
Despite the complexity and unpredictability of Trump's trade policies, the targeted exemption for tech equipment provides clear short-term policy direction and eases market pressure. Investors are now more confident that inflation in consumer electronics will be avoided, and companies won't be forced to raise prices or cut innovation. While this doesn't signal the end of tariff concerns, it does alleviate one of the major worries facing the cryptocurrency sector.
The crypto market has shown a moderate bullish response, and the stock market is expected to rise on Monday, further boosting Bitcoin and altcoins. However, after the initial reaction, the market dynamics will become more intriguing, and widespread 'FOMO' sentiment could stifle any upward trend.
