Before you, as every week, another summary of Sebastian Seliga from Zondacrypto.
A breakthrough in the USA
On August 7, 2025, President Donald Trump signed a breakthrough decree allowing American pension funds 401 (K) invest in cryptocurrencies, private capital and other alternative assets. The decree requires the Labor Department, SEC and the Treasury Department a search for applicable regulations to facilitate access to new asset classes.
Until now, most of the 90 million users of plans 401 (K) had limited access to traditional shares and bonds, and alternative investments were regulated. The new policy promotes the diversification of wallets.
The Trump administration emphasizes that these changes are aimed at “guaranteeing Americans worthy and comfortable” and establishing the United States as the World Cryptocurrency Center.
Increase in costs of mining equipment in the USA
In parallel, on August 7, new customs tariffs imposed by the administration of Donald Trump on the import of chips used in Bitcoin digging equipment entered into force. The 100% rate on imported chips increased the prices of mining equipment by 21-22%, which especially strikes the operators in the USA. For example, the popular Bitmain Antminer S21E XP HYD 3U (860 TH/S) cost around USD 17,000 before the customs duties, and now its price exceeds $ 20,000.
