A piece of news from the financial media has caused a stir in the finance circle: U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen publicly pressured the Federal Reserve, stating that low interest rates are "the only missing element for achieving stronger economic growth," and emphasizing that "the Fed should not delay." What does this really mean? Is the U.S. monetary policy about to undergo a major shift?

In her recent speech, Yellen indicated that 2026 will witness the "return" of Trump's "America First agenda." She pointed out that the foundation for economic growth has already been laid through tax cuts, trade agreements, and deregulation. More notably, Yellen is leading the selection of the successor to Fed Chair Jerome Powell after his term ends in May—does this behind-the-scenes influence hint that future monetary policy will be more closely aligned with political demands?

Here's the question. Yellen has repeatedly responded to Trump's calls for rate cuts. Is this based on actual economic needs, or is it driven by political pressure? Will the independence of the Fed be challenged? Can rate cuts truly become a universal remedy for stimulating the economy?

The current situation is quite delicate. Expectations for rate cuts are heating up, but has inflation truly been brought under control? If Trump's agenda is restarted, how will global capital flows adjust? Will the "return" in 2026 be a sign of economic recovery, or a new round of uncertainty? All market participants are watching closely. For crypto assets, a rate-cut cycle often brings abundant liquidity, but only if the macro environment remains truly stable. The performance of assets like BTC, ZEC, XRP, and others will directly reflect the outcome of this policy game.

What do you think? Can Yellen's statements change the Fed's decisions? And how will the policy changes in 2026 affect your holdings?

As expectations of interest rate cuts rise, the crypto world is getting interesting... However, this time the political flavor is too strong, whether you believe it or not depends on inflation data. They really treat the Federal Reserve as a tool, promising such high returns by 2026, but I feel it's a bit uncertain. Can BTC break through during this wave of momentum? It would be great if XRP takes off along with the rate cut cycle. Honestly, in policy game theory, we small retail investors are just along for the ride. When liquidity comes, we make money; when it doesn't, we shrink. Besent's words seem to be setting market expectations. Will the Federal Reserve really be so obedient? I have my doubts.

Interest rate cuts under political pressure, it sounds like the Federal Reserve's independence is being undermined... Our BTC should at least benefit from this liquidity dividend, right?

Raising interest rate expectations is just a hype. Can we still trust the Fed's independence? Political pressure leads to compromises, this trick is so old.

The expectation of interest rate cuts has heated up, but I still can't see through it. Under political pressure, can the Federal Reserve remain independent? This matter is uncertain.

Is the independence of the Federal Reserve about to be compromised? This is getting interesting—political interference in monetary policy, the crypto world has long been used to this, haha. Wait, if the rate cut really happens, liquidity will explode... BTC will definitely benefit, but if inflation isn't controlled, this could be problematic. Besant's move this time is really aggressive, directly interfering with the selection of the chairman? Then Powell's replacement will definitely cooperate even more, and the money printing will go into overdrive. Returns in 2026? It might just be another bubble, so don't take it too seriously. XRP... the regulatory uncertainty hasn't been fully resolved yet, so even with a rate cut, it's pointless. Honestly, I'm just waiting for the central bank's actions. When liquidity increases, all assets will rise, but I still feel a bit uneasy about this manipulated market.

The expectation of rate cuts is being heavily speculated, but has inflation really been brought under control? I think it's most likely just political showmanship, and when it comes to actual actions, it will depend on the data... Anyway, this wave of BTC's rise doesn't seem to be solely driven by the expectation of rate cuts; it feels a bit hollow.

Besent's recent actions are truly a "de facto" intervention in the Federal Reserve's independence... The rate cut expectations have been driven up, but has inflation really been brought under control? It feels like 2026 is less about "returns" and more about "luck." Will BTC benefit from this liquidity dividend? Or will it depend on how Trump's agenda ultimately unfolds...

The expectation of interest rate cuts sparks a carnival in the crypto world, but when it comes to actual implementation, things always fall apart... This time, Besant directly confronted the Federal Reserve, feeling that the political atmosphere is too strong. How do you see BTC now? It seems we have to wait and see what happens when the chairmanship changes in May; otherwise, it's better to stay on the sidelines. Has inflation really been brought under control? I personally don't quite believe it. I'll keep holding small coins like ZEC and XRP for now, and see clear signals before making any moves.

As expectations of interest rate cuts rise, the crypto market starts to stir... But honestly, whether political figures' calls for the Fed's independence will cause it to collapse is still uncertain. It's hard to say whether liquidity will be sufficient at that time.
