The news that has shaken Wall Street and Silicon Valley is here—attorneys general from 20 U.S. states have jointly taken action, targeting a new order from the Trump administration: raising the H-1B work visa fee directly to $100,000. The states are unreserved, sharply pointing out that this move "may be unconstitutional," emphasizing that the federal government has no authority to bypass Congress and set visa fee standards on its own.

In response, the Trump administration's explanation is straightforward: high fees are meant to filter out only the "most elite and irreplaceable" international talents. It sounds reasonable, but where's the problem? The H-1B visa, in essence, is the main channel for Silicon Valley to attract engineers worldwide. Tech giants like Amazon, Google, and Meta depend heavily on this system. A tenfold increase in fees—what will that do to corporate hiring costs? The application numbers for thousands of mid-level positions could plummet dramatically, and in the long run, the competitiveness of the U.S. tech industry might take a significant hit.

Notably, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services quietly made adjustments at the end of October, narrowing the scope of high-cost fee applications. This seems like a concession under intense litigation pressure, temporarily easing anxiety for applying companies.

The real focus is that this turmoil reflects a global competition for top-tier talent. When traditional economic centers raise higher barriers, it creates an opportunity window for emerging industries with strong global DNA, such as cryptocurrency, blockchain, and Web3. Decentralized protocols, DeFi ecosystems, and smart contract development—these fields' demand for top developers has never waned, and they naturally support remote, worldwide teams. Over the next 12 months, we may see subtle shifts in the flow of outstanding engineers.

Opportunities often hide within chaos. When a choice becomes expensive, clever talents seek alternatives. $BTC $ETH $BNB The technical teams behind these ecosystems might be quietly expanding—have you noticed this change?
