President Trump has officially waived new sanctions-related tariffs set to take effect on October 18, temporarily removing a major macro wildcard for crypto markets.
Under the Lindsey O. Graham Sanctioning Russia and Iran Act of 2026, severe 100% to 500% duties were structured to target major importers and facilitators of Russian energy. However, the administration exercised its authority to issue open-ended waivers, keeping existing baseline sanctions intact while preventing immediate trade escalation.
This decision directly impacts Bitcoin traders who were watching the October 18 deadline for potential global liquidity shocks, inflation spikes, or rising dollar-denominated financing costs.
While the waiver removes immediate downside pressure and trade friction, it leaves future policy adjustments as an ongoing trigger for macro volatility. The threat of tariffs remains conditional, meaning shifting diplomatic or trade stances could quickly bring regulatory risk back into focus.
Do you think this waiver is already priced into BTC, or will macro relief push us higher?
