"Do I have the right to fire him before 2026? We'll see!"
On July 1, 2025, Trump left an intriguing warning when facing White House reporters' questions
⏰ Countdown to breaking a century-old tradition
The heat wave in Washington in July is raging, and a power game that is hotter than the summer heat is brewing. Although the term of the current Federal Reserve Chairman Powell will not end until May 2026, the Wall Street Journal broke the news: Trump's team is planning to announce his successor in advance in September or October this year!
This means:
- The Federal Reserve’s century-long independence faces its most severe challenge
- The world's largest central bank may become a "political puppet"
- The crypto market will experience epic policy fluctuations
🔥Candidate list = crypto market life and death book
Among the five potential successors, their policy positions vary widely, and their impact on cryptocurrencies is diametrically opposed:
Kevin Warsh (former Federal Reserve Board member) Hawkish King⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Bitcoin may plunge 8%+ in a single day
Kevin Hassett (White House staff) Political puppet ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Regulatory storm hits DeFi sector
Christopher Waller (current director) | Moderately neutral ⚡⚡ Stabilize after short-term volatility
David Malpass (former head of the World Bank) | Traditional banking ⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡ Stablecoins face the most stringent scrutiny
Scott Bessant (Treasury Secretary) Unknown variable ⚡⚡⚡ Depends on his hedge fund background
Fatal focus: If Walsh comes to power, he may restart the "interest rate hike nuclear button" and directly drain the liquidity of the crypto market!
💥 The triple explosion point of the crypto market
1. Interest rate policy shift - liquidity lifeline cut off
If a hawk takes charge of the Fed, soaring borrowing costs will force leveraged traders to close their positions en masse.
Historical tragedy: On June 22, 2025, the Federal Reserve’s hawkish stance and the Middle East conflict caused Bitcoin to crash to $98,200 in a single day (a 12% drop in the day).
2. The hegemony of the US dollar is shaken - Bitcoin's "anti-depreciation" attribute is awakened
Experts warn: Political interference in the Federal Reserve will severely damage the credit of the US dollar, and funds will accelerate the influx of crypto assets for risk aversion.
Reality confirms: When Trump blasted Powell in April 2025, Bitcoin rose 3.2% in seven days against the trend.
3. The regulatory nuclear bomb is coming - the survival crisis of tokens
If candidates such as Hassett and Malpass come to power, they may push for the implementation of the (Digital Asset Regulation Act), and mainstream tokens such as Ethereum and SOL will face charges of securitization.
🚨 September decisive moment: three scenarios
A[September nomination official announcement]
B -->|Dovish/Neutral| C[Bitcoin sprints to $120,000]
B -->|Hawk| D[Bitcoin backtests 90,000 defense line]
B -->|Anti-crypto| E[Bloodshed by altcoins]
The most terrifying scenario: If Walsh is elected and Trump puts public pressure on him, analysts predict:
- Bitcoin price plummets by $8,000-10,000 in 24 hours
- Cryptocurrency market value evaporates by $300 billion
- Leveraged liquidation volume may exceed US$25 billion (exceeding the record in June 2025)
🛡️ A life and death strategy for crypto investors
1. Short term:
- Keep positions below 50% before September to keep ammunition for dealing with black swans
2. Mid-term:
- Focus on Bitcoin spot ETF (a safe haven in political risks)
- Shorting CEX platform coins that are most affected by regulation (such as BNB, OKB)
3. Long term:
- Investing in Bitcoin as "Federal Reserve Independence Insurance"
- Monitor the US dollar index DXY, add positions immediately if it falls below 104
Soros's disciples warned: "When central banks become political toys, decentralized assets will become the new Noah's Ark"
💎 Final Conclusion
Trump's "decapitation operation" against the Federal Reserve is precisely the historical turning point when the crypto market transforms from a speculative tool to an institutional hedging asset. After this September storm, Bitcoin may be officially crowned
“The ultimate defense fortress in the era of global legal currency credit collapse”
