Powell Just Opened the Gate for Wall Street x Crypto 🚪🧊
In a rare dual move, Fed Chair Jerome Powell just:
1. 🔒 Reaffirmed that the war on inflation isn’t over — interest rates will stay restrictive
2. 🟢 Gave green light to U.S. banks to do business with crypto firms — no more gray zone
Translation?
➡️ TradFi now has regulatory clarity to go deep into crypto.
➡️ Wall Street firms don’t need to sit on the sidelines anymore.
This isn’t just talk — it’s fuel for capital inflows into crypto ETFs, custody, payments, and infrastructure.
Restrictive rates ≠ restrictive innovation.
Powell basically said: we’ll fight inflation… but you can still ape into blockchain.
What’s next?
• More ETH + BTC ETF approvals?
• TradFi/DeFi partnerships?
• JPMorgan launching its own L2?
2025 is shaping up to be the year of “regulated risk”.
Let’s see how fast the banks move now that the door’s open. 👀
