What Is the Financial Implication of an ASIC Production Ban on the Secondary Market for Used Hardware?

An ASIC production ban would immediately halt the supply of new, more efficient hardware. This would increase the demand and, consequently, the price of existing used ASICs, as they would be the only available hardware for mining.

The value of used hardware would be sustained for longer, especially in regions with low electricity costs, until they become completely technologically obsolete.
