The personnel changes at the Federal Reserve are about to become the market's focus. Trump recently revealed that he plans to officially announce his successor to current Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell in January next year. Powell's term will end in May 2026.

There is actually a subtle game behind this. Since the beginning of this year, Trump has been pressuring the Fed to accelerate the pace of rate cuts. His logic is straightforward—stimulate economic growth through rate cuts while reducing government borrowing costs. But reality has somewhat contradicted him; the Fed's rate cut pace has not met his expectations.

Because of this, Trump's attitude towards Powell has become increasingly tough. He has publicly demanded Powell resign multiple times, with words full of dissatisfaction. For the crypto market, this turmoil is worth paying attention to—Federal Reserve policy orientation directly affects liquidity conditions, and the choice of successor may signal future policy tone.

According to database records, Trump has been pressuring the Federal Reserve for over 300 days, and the rate cut promise still hasn't met expectations. There are 516 days left until Powell's term ends. Suggest adding this to the Guinness World Records. --- The successor hasn't even appeared yet. First, show me the pie-in-the-sky plan for the new boss? --- Liquidity? Ha, I'm tired of hearing that word. When was the last time I heard a similar promise? Feel free to add data. --- Announced in January next year, and he won't step down until May 2026... I’ve learned the art of this timing. --- A change in the Federal Reserve = a crypto spring? That’s a nice thought, everyone, let’s wait and see. --- Trump has been playing the "threat to replace" card for almost a year. Don’t we all know how effective it is?

This guy Powell is really tough. When Trump urged him to cut interest rates, he refused to move. Now he's about to be replaced, and he's still pretty bold.

Powell has been forced out, indeed. Trump's move was quite aggressive, announcing a new chairman in January next year... Now liquidity expectations will have to be re-priced.

The rate cut expectation was not met, Trump's sudden change of attitude is really quick... Powell must be feeling uncomfortable this time --- If we switch to a more hawkish chairman, liquidity will tighten, and we need to be cautious about the coins we hold --- Honestly, it's still a political game. If the Federal Reserve really obeyed orders, that would be unbelievable --- Wait, if there is really a change in leadership, the crypto market should react... this timing is a bit sensitive --- There is still plenty of room for compromise, don't be too optimistic

Oh my, it's another palace intrigue. Powell is really about to be pushed out this time. Not cutting interest rates in sync with Trump's pace will get you killed—this logic... hilarious. The key is whether the new chair will be more dovish. If liquidity is pumped out then, the crypto market will take off directly.
