According to @StockMKTNewz, China has suspended approving exports of dual-use items related to gallium, germanium, antimony and super-hard materials to the United States from Sunday through November 27, 2026, with Reuters cited as the source. Gallium and germanium are critical inputs for semiconductor, optoelectronic and fiber-optic devices used in RF and power electronics, per the U.S. Geological Survey Mineral Commodity Summaries 2024. China’s earlier curbs on gallium and germanium exports triggered supply concerns and price volatility in 2023, making this suspension a notable policy shift for chip supply chains, according to Reuters reporting. While Reuters did not mention cryptocurrency directly, traders can monitor any read-through to AI hardware and BTC miner component procurement given the shared dependence on semiconductor supply chains documented by the U.S. Geological Survey and the policy scope reported by Reuters.
