【Crypto World】U.S. President Trump recently revealed his attitude towards Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Although the Department of Justice is conducting a criminal investigation into Powell, Trump explicitly stated to the media that there are no plans to replace him for the time being.

When asked whether he is considering removing Powell from his position, Trump responded straightforwardly: “I currently have no such plans.” However, he also left an opening—regarding whether the investigation constitutes a reason to take action, he said: “At the moment, we are adopting a wait-and-see strategy and are studying the next steps. But I can’t disclose the specific details; it’s too early to say.”

This statement sends a key signal: Powell’s ultimate fate remains uncertain. For the crypto market closely watching Federal Reserve policy directions, this unresolved stance suggests that the U.S. monetary policy framework may face adjustments in the future. Trump’s remarks neither provide a clear timeline nor completely rule out variables, implying that the power struggle is still ongoing.

Basically, it's just playing Tai Chi. I've heard this set of rhetoric too many times to delay handling it. Powell's position is a bit uncertain right now; the crypto circle needs to keep a close eye. Trump's mouth never rests; what seems like a promise is actually full of flexibility. The Fed's tone has shifted this time; we need to consider how the coin prices will move.

You're playing Tai Chi again, basically just haven't decided yet... For the crypto world, this is simply an uncertainty bomb. Isn't this the classic "I didn't say I would replace, but I didn't say I wouldn't" routine? It gives me a headache just listening. Is the monetary policy going to change? Or will it continue to wobble like this... Anyway, I can't see through it. The feeling of trading with us is always half-truth, half-fake, and full of suspense.

Trump's way of speaking is a typical game of Tai Chi; right now he's not moving Powell, but who knows what will happen later. For the crypto world, it's a suspense. He says he's delaying action, but in fact he's leaving himself a backup plan, stabilizing expectations while not making a full commitment. The Federal Reserve's policy remains a big variable. Powell is now in a Schrödinger's Fed Chair position. Wait, how's the investigation at the Department of Justice progressing? That's the key. Trump is always like this; leaving suspense is more interesting than making a decision.

Well... Trump's move to "pause" is really a masterstroke, neither replacing nor promising, leaving plenty of room for maneuver. Waiting to see how Powell's situation unfolds—this uncertainty is really torturing the crypto world.

Once again, this ambiguous tactic. Trump always leaves a backdoor in his statements. Currently no plans ≠ no plans in the future. Wait, is the Department of Justice still investigating Powell? This piece of information seems to be missing, why hasn't the crypto circle leaked anything? The real focus is on the adjustment of the monetary policy framework. Regardless of whether Powell stays or leaves, the Fed's policy shift will have a greater impact on us. Postponing the decision = still undecided, a typical political delaying tactic. Honestly, this kind of indecision is the most frustrating; the trend is unpredictable. He's just testing the market reaction, observing the sentiment before making a decision.
