What would happen to cryptocurrencies if Trump took over the Federal Reserve? Trump threatens to fire Fed Chairman Powell!

Recently, the focus of American politics and financial markets has been on an unprecedented power struggle—President Trump has publicly threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, citing his "refusal to cut interest rates hindering economic growth." This conflict over the autonomy of monetary policy not only challenges the 70-year tradition of independence of the U.S. central bank but also sparks deep reflections on global financial stability and the direction of the cryptocurrency market: When the Federal Reserve may become a political tool, will cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin become a new "safe haven," or will they fall into greater uncertainty?

Powell was nominated as Fed Chairman during Trump's term in 2018, at which point their relationship was amicable. However, as the Fed continued to raise interest rates from 2018 to 2019 to curb inflation, Trump began to frequently criticize Powell's policies as "hindering economic growth." He has publicly stated: "The Fed is my biggest threat" and "They are raising rates too quickly and cutting rates too slowly."
