A transnational law enforcement operation codenamed "Gatekeeper" has recently been shut down. The operation targeted an underground channel that specialized in transporting high-end GPUs to specific regions. Law enforcement agencies confiscated advanced graphics processing units worth over $50 million, totaling more than 5,000 units. These chips were originally intended to be shipped to areas restricted by technology export controls. It is important to note that such high-performance GPUs are not only the core computing power for AI training but also critical hardware for cryptocurrency mining. As countries tighten controls over the flow of cutting-edge chips, such smuggling cases could continue to impact the global distribution of computing resources.

The 5000 GPUs are gone, and now the supply curve of the computing network needs to be adjusted again.

50 million dollars worth of GPU smuggling? The computing shortage is about to get even crazier...

Now chip shortages are about to worsen, and mining costs will soar again.

Is chip smuggling so rampant? Fifty million dollars gone just like that, and the cost of mining is going to rise.
