The growing tension between U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and former President Donald Trump is becoming a key market mover—especially in the world of crypto.
🔥 The Clash: Policy vs. Politics
As the 2024 U.S. presidential race heats up, Trump has openly criticized Powell's interest rate policies, calling them a "disaster for American growth." Meanwhile, Powell remains firm on keeping rates elevated until inflation cools to the Fed’s target.
This political clash is shaking traditional markets—but for crypto traders, it’s a different story.
📉 Traditional Finance Wobbles, Crypto Looks Strong
Stock markets reacted with caution, with Treasury yields climbing and Wall Street pricing in higher volatility. But Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) remained resilient, even posting slight gains during Powell's recent testimony.
Why? Because political uncertainty and central bank mistrust often send investors toward decentralized assets.
