💥American financial giants issue a stern warning: Is the monetary policy storm of 2026 coming?
As 2025 is nearing its end, US Bank CEO Moenihan made a shocking statement during a live TV broadcast — the market is going crazy, and those who watch the Fed's every move are missing the point. He even bluntly said, "The real drivers of the economy are private enterprises, not those interest rate adjustments by the Fed."
Where is the problem? The Fed has cut interest rates three times this year, yet Moenihan warns that if the Fed is forced to abandon its independence, the market will face a collective blow. Currently, the Trump administration has been exerting pressure, trying to replace the Fed Chair with a more "obedient" one, even openly threatening to sue Powell. This has already caused quite a stir on Wall Street.
A more alarming prediction has arrived — a well-known economic research institution estimates that in 2026, the Fed might only cut interest rates by 25 basis points, far below the expectations of the Trump team. This means the new Fed Chair might have to oppose the White House right from the start.
On the other hand, the AI investment boom continues to heat up, and the US economy is expected to maintain a growth rate of around 2.5%. But the stubborn problem of high inflation has not been fully resolved. The Fed is truly caught in a dilemma — cutting rates more risks a rebound in inflation, while cutting less means enduring political pressure. This power and policy showdown is expected to reach a new critical moment in 2026.

In 2026, this trap, how can the Federal Reserve avoid it... Independence vs. political pressure, really caught in the middle.

Will political pressure in 2026 interfere with monetary policy? This is the real negative factor; accumulating BTC is definitely the right move.

Wake up, the Federal Reserve's independence is gone; the crypto world is the real safe haven.

Wait, Moenihan's words imply that the Federal Reserve has been sidelined? Then wouldn't retail investors be even worse off...

Wait, 25 basis points? I need to analyze this data... Three rate cuts last year, but only one this year? On-chain funds have already been deployed; retail investors are still watching the market.
