🇺🇸 🏦 Statement by Jerome Powell, Chair of the Fed this Wednesday #TrumpVsPowell

#FederalReserveIndependence

- We are well positioned to wait for more clarity before considering any changes to our policy.

- The economic impact of tariffs is likely to be greater than expected.

- The American economy is strong despite the uncertainty.

- Higher than expected tariffs likely mean higher inflation and slower growth.

- It is still unclear what the new trade policies will be.

- We may soon find ourselves in a situation where a difficult decision will need to be made.

- Volatility is likely to continue.

- Crypto is becoming increasingly mainstream.

- We are close to a legal framework for stablecoins that could have broad appeal.

- I believe there will be a loosening of banking rules regarding crypto.

- There will be a relaxation of certain rules to allow for innovation, but this must be done in a way that does not make banks less safe and sound.

- AI is likely to bring about radical changes. It is difficult to know how this will materialize.

- The Fed will not be influenced by political pressure.

Thus concludes the speech of the most volatile man in all cryptocurrencies.
