TSMC raises prices across all advanced process nodes by 5%-10%, covering 75% of wafer revenue.

This news has a deeper impact on the crypto market than it appears on the surface.
Mining chip reliance on TSMC's 7nm and below processes means price hikes directly increase the cost of new-generation mining rigs.
For miners struggling to break even, this could slow down hash rate growth and accelerate the obsolescence of older mining machines.
At the same time, competition in AI chips is intensifying—Micron and SanDisk just experienced "Black Tuesday," with storage and computing costs rising in tandem.
The race for funds between the crypto market and AI sectors is spreading from the secondary market to the supply chain.
The risk is: if mining hardware costs rise while coin prices remain low, it could lead to a decrease in hash rate, easing the difficulty adjustment pressure.
In the short term, this is bearish for miners, but it may not be bad for network security.
