Recently, the political turmoil surrounding the Federal Reserve has been quite interesting—the market's reaction might reveal the future direction of the cryptocurrency market.



On the surface, the White House's pressure on the central bank has become more overt, but the market's response is the opposite: the US dollar continues to weaken, while gold and safe-haven assets have surged significantly. This reflects a core fact—the market values the independence of the central bank above all else. The more obvious political interference, the more investors worry about the erosion of monetary credibility, which in turn reinforces expectations of a hawkish stance from the central bank.

From a cryptocurrency perspective, what does this mean? Many still fantasize about large-scale money printing and rate cuts. But this political struggle has already rewritten the rules of the game: to maintain independence and credibility, the central bank needs to appear more hawkish. The stronger the political pressure, the more hawkish the central bank becomes. This logic may seem counterintuitive, but it has been repeatedly validated throughout history.

For holders of cryptocurrencies, the key moving forward is not to chase short-term fluctuations but to recognize the bigger trend: safe-haven attributes will be more valued, and patience in holding assets is more important than frequent trading. Against the backdrop of the central bank credibility game, the market will reprice risk assets. As an alternative asset, the performance of cryptocurrencies will largely depend on the understanding of this political interference and central bank independence struggle.

What do you think will be the final outcome of this game?

The higher the central bank's rigidity, the more retail investors get cut, I believe in this logic... But the dream of excessive liquidity hasn't completely shattered yet, let's wait and see.

Damn, the higher the central bank's rigidity, the harder it is for the crypto world. This logic is mind-boggling.

Damn, the more the central bank is pressured, the more tough and ruthless it becomes. This reverse logic is really amazing.

The central bank's crackdown is getting tougher, and the nightmare for retail investors is just beginning.
