Is the Federal Reserve going to allow employees to trade cryptocurrencies? Once this news broke, the crypto circle exploded! Federal Reserve Governor Bowman stated: central bank employees should be allowed to hold a small amount of crypto assets to enhance regulatory capabilities, also hinting that the Federal Reserve's view on cryptocurrencies is about to take a 'big turn'!
Central bank employees trading cryptocurrencies? This signal is crucial!
The Federal Reserve, as the global 'monetary master valve', has employees trading cryptocurrencies, which is no small matter. Over the past few years, the Federal Reserve's attitude towards cryptocurrencies has been 'both love and hate'—in 2022, Powell said 'Bitcoin is a speculative asset', yet in 2023 approved the Bitcoin spot ETF. This proposal from Bowman directly tears apart the 'conservative label' of the regulatory body:
Regulation is shifting from 'containment' to 'penetration': allowing employees to trade cryptocurrencies means letting regulators personally experience the market, and future policies may be more aligned with reality. For example, the SEC previously conducted strict reviews of crypto exchanges; in the future, clearer compliance guidelines might be issued; market confidence will be greatly boosted: if central bank employees are entering the market, what are retail investors afraid of? After the approval of Bitcoin ETFs in 2024, funds will pour in crazily; this policy easing may trigger a new round of 'regulatory relaxation bull'!
Historical case: Regulatory easing = signal for skyrocketing prices.
Don't disbelieve, the impact of changes in regulatory attitudes on the crypto circle has historical validation:
January 2024: SEC approves 11 Bitcoin spot ETFs, Bitcoin surges 20% in one week, directly hitting $60,000; November 2024: After Trump's victory, he calls for 'building a Bitcoin strategic reserve', Bitcoin surges 9% in one day, breaking $100,000; March 2025: The Federal Reserve's signal to reduce the balance sheet causes a crash, but a White House statement 'supporting crypto innovation' causes Bitcoin to rebound to $90,000.
This proposal from Bowman is more significant than the approval of ETFs—central bank employees directly participating in the market indicates that the regulatory body is transforming from 'bystander' to 'participant', and future policies will only become friendlier!
The last sentence is a big truth.
Federal Reserve employees trading cryptocurrencies, on the surface is about 'enhancing regulatory capabilities', but behind it is the regulatory body's recognition of cryptocurrencies. We in the crypto circle shouldn't just focus on price fluctuations; we need to understand the signals— the window for policy relaxation has arrived!
Five years ago, I didn't pay attention to regulatory signals and sold at a loss when Bitcoin dropped to $30,000, only for it to surge directly to $100,000! Now I've learned to be smart—when regulatory winds change, operations should adjust accordingly!
