The Federal Reserve's $600 million renovation overruns spark controversy, with Trump challenging Powell and planting a foreshadowing for the crypto world

This is truly extraordinary! The Fed headquarters renovation project ballooned from $1.9 billion to $2.5 billion, exceeding the budget by $600 million. Trump immediately moved to sue Fed Chair Powell for "gross negligence." On the surface, this looks like a political attack, but the deeper logic is worth pondering—after all, this move's impact on the crypto circle far exceeds expectations.

First, let's clarify the real reason behind the overruns. Renovating old buildings is inherently a bottomless pit: asbestos removal, soil contamination cleanup, safety standard upgrades—these hidden costs often surpass initial estimates. Powell also hinted that "aging components must be replaced, and critical systems need updating," which makes perfect engineering sense. The problem is, Trump doesn't care about engineering details. He cares about hot-button issues—everyone dislikes government spending, and exploiting this can ignite public opinion much more effectively than just criticizing interest rate policies.

But the real situation? Legally, suing the Fed is unfounded. The Fed is an independent agency, and Powell enjoys judicial immunity. The legal threshold for "gross negligence" is extremely high, and with the checks and balances of the three branches of government, courts are unlikely to intervene. Essentially, this is just a political spectacle ahead of the elections.

What truly matters is the subsequent impact. The Fed's independence directly influences interest rate policies, which are the core drivers of cryptocurrencies like BTC and ETH. Examples of central banks like Turkey and Argentina being politically interfered with, leading to runaway inflation, are still fresh in memory. Now, with US political polarization at an all-time high and Trump repeatedly challenging institutional boundaries, if Fed decision-making becomes politicized, global financial markets will inevitably shake, and the crypto sector will find it harder to remain insulated.

The Fed has withstood numerous political pressures over the past century, but this challenge is different in nature. The key question is: will Powell compromise on policy? Will interest rate paths be adjusted accordingly? These are the core variables that directly affect your holdings' returns.

What do you think? Can this political game shake the Fed's independence? Will the future trajectories of BTC and ETH move inversely to interest rate expectations?

Really daring to sue? Legally, it's a joke, but the market doesn't follow the law... When interest rates loosen, the coins take off.

I really can't hold it anymore, $600 million burned just like that. Trump dares to sue, acting like an actor haha. If Powell really compromises, BTC will take off directly, and only when interest rates go down will the coins have a chance. The lesson from the Turkish Central Bank is still fresh, and the Federal Reserve can't withstand political pressure either? It feels like there might be a change. If independence collapses, the crypto world is doomed. This is the core issue; the $600 million incident is not just a small matter. The ETH trend really depends on interest rate expectations. Whether the political attack this time is effective or not is the key variable.

To be honest, this move is just a political show, and the lawsuit is fundamentally unsubstantiated.
