According to Crypto Rover, former President Trump has announced the end of the 'de minimis' exemption for small packages imported from China, as reported on May 2, 2025 (source: Crypto Rover on Twitter). This policy change directly affects the cost and speed of importing hardware wallets, mining equipment, and other crypto-related goods from China. Traders should note potential increases in operational costs and possible delays in hardware availability, which could impact short-term trading strategies and market sentiment for cryptocurrencies closely tied to hardware supply chains.
