Jerome Powell, the head of the Federal Reserve, has pushed back against an ongoing Department of Justice probe, arguing it represents interference in the central bank's autonomous decision-making process. His criticism underscores growing tensions between the DOJ and the Federal Reserve regarding investigations into central bank operations. Powell's stance emphasizes the critical importance of preserving the independence of monetary policy from external legal pressures. This development carries implications for financial markets broadly, including crypto market sentiment, as investor confidence in institutional stability and regulatory clarity remains a key factor shaping asset prices and market dynamics globally.

It should be pointed out that Powell's recent actions are essentially a defense of the central bank's black box operations. Let's return to the original thinking of Satoshi Nakamoto's white paper: the fundamental purpose of Bitcoin's creation was to circumvent this unregulated monetary power. This is no coincidence.

Is Powell trying to clear his name or is he really afraid of being investigated? Something feels off.

Here we go again with this routine? The bickering among the authorities, and in the end, it's us retail investors who suffer.

Powell's move this time is quite bold. If the central bank gets investigated to death by the DOJ, our wallets will be in trouble.

Powell is defending the Federal Reserve, really considering himself a prince.

Powell, is he defending himself or truly safeguarding the independence of the central bank... it seems a bit suspicious.

Here we go again, the Federal Reserve and the Department of Justice are clashing. These people are really idle... Independence, independence, sounds nice, but it's just each side wanting to have a say. The crypto market is about to be affected by this power struggle drama again.

Coming to interfere with the central bank again? This trick is becoming more and more obvious, with the power balance under the guise of supervision...
