So here's the irony: the guy eyeing the Fed chair position keeps talking about keeping monetary policy "completely free from political meddling." Sounds great on paper, right? But here's the catch—his tight connection to Trump is raising eyebrows across financial circles. When someone who's that close to the White House insists they'll stay independent, you can't help but wonder if actions will match the words. The crypto market, like traditional finance, lives and dies by Fed decisions. Interest rates, liquidity flows, all that stuff matters. If politics starts bleeding into those calls, we're all going to feel it in our portfolios. Worth watching how this plays out, especially with what's at stake for digital assets.
