What would happen to cryptocurrency if Trump takes over the Federal Reserve? Trump threatens to fire Fed Chair Powell!

Recently, the focus of American politics and financial markets has centered on an unprecedented power struggle — President Trump openly threatened to fire Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, citing his "refusal to cut interest rates hampering economic growth." This conflict over the autonomy of monetary policy not only challenges the Federal Reserve's 70-year tradition of independence but also provokes deep reflection on global financial stability and the direction of the cryptocurrency market: when the Fed may become a political tool, will cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin become a new "safe haven" or fall into greater uncertainty?

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