U.S. Financial Policy Takes a Major Turn. Recently, Trump held a closed-door meeting with Federal Reserve nominee Waller, focusing on one key issue: how the next Fed Chair will handle monetary policy.
The background is clear—Trump has publicly criticized Powell’s pace of rate cuts as too conservative multiple times, even hinting at the possibility of replacing him. Waller’s recent stance has shifted noticeably towards a more aggressive rate-cutting position. Essentially, this meeting is a "docking" of politics and policy.
The most pressing question for the market is whether the current discussion of a 25 basis point rate cut will be expanded to 50 basis points. If personnel changes occur, the Fed’s independence will inevitably face challenges, directly impacting global liquidity expectations—cryptocurrency markets are highly sensitive to interest rate environments. $ETH Risk assets like this tend to gain additional upward momentum during easing cycles.
Policy uncertainty is itself a source of market volatility. The coming weeks’ developments warrant close attention.

50 basis points? Dream on, Powell won't be replaced that quickly.
This time, it's really politics and money playing against each other. The happiest time for the crypto community to watch the spectacle has arrived.
If the Federal Reserve's independence is gone and liquidity increases, won't ETH still skyrocket?
Trump's move is pretty aggressive; direct pressure is too obvious.
Instead of waiting for policies, it's better to watch market reactions. Holding positions now is a bet on this expectation.
Watching... Not sure how it will ultimately shift in the end.

It's all talk; the key is whether they can really do 50 basis points. 25 really doesn't mean much.

Now the Federal Reserve has really compromised, starting with 50 basis points, or otherwise Trump would have already turned against them.

50 basis points? The Federal Reserve can't do that, Trump is just bragging

Wait, can it really be 50bp? Then IETH has to double
---
Political interference in the Federal Reserve... if that really happens, our crypto circle is about to take off

Nonsense, Powell wouldn't yield that easily

Liquidity easing cycle? Is it time for me to bottom fish ETH, brothers

50 basis points? Dream on. Powell would never be that aggressive; ultimately, political games will have to be decided by market sentiment.

50 basis point rate cut? Then the Fed is really going to become a money-printing machine, which can only be good news for ETH.

50 basis points rate cut? Then ETH will skyrocket
---
The Federal Reserve's independence disappearing just like that—laughable, the crypto world loves this kind of thing
---
Was Wosh really just giving us free money with this move?
---
When the easing cycle begins, ETH gets hyped—I understand this logic
---
Uncertainty speculation is the most exciting; these weeks the market is about to take off
---
Political interference in the central bank, this time crypto is stable, right?
---
25 or 50, either way it's bullishly aligned
---
It's truly absurd that Powell has been sidelined; for us, it's awesome
---
Closed-door talks leaking like this, the market has already started to hype up
---
When liquidity expectations loosen, where will ETH go? No need to say more

Wait, 50 basis points? Doesn't that mean the Fed is giving up directly? ETH should take off now.

Does Wosh favor aggressive rate cuts? Now the Fed is really being politicized. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? It's hard to say.
