Jerome Powell

The appointment of a new chairman at the head of the Federal Reserve is never trivial. This Friday, Donald Trump announced his intention to entrust the reins of the Fed to Kevin Warsh, a former governor critical of current monetary policy. Such a strategic choice, interpreted as a possible ideological shift, is already shaking up financial and crypto markets. As Jerome Powell’s term comes to an end, the Warsh hypothesis reshapes monetary expectations and power balances.

In Washington, Trump is plotting his revenge: a former hawk ready to embrace Bitcoin and bring the Fed back into line, while Powell counts down the hours.

Kevin Hassett has withdrawn from consideration to lead the U.S. Fed, narrowing the field in a leadership contest increasingly shaped by political and legal pressure. President Donald Trump has made clear that he prefers Hassett to remain in his current White House role. And this stance has effectively removed him from contention and reshaped expectations around the Fed’s next chair.

Jerome Powell, chairman of the Federal Reserve, is the subject of a criminal investigation. The information, confirmed on Sunday, comes amid strong political tensions in the United States. It raises questions about the central bank's independence from the executive branch. Beyond Wall Street, this case also resonates in the crypto market. In a climate of institutional distrust, bitcoin regains its place at the heart of the debate as a non-sovereign asset.

On December 10, the Fed announced a 25 basis point cut to its key interest rates, confirming market expectations. However, behind this seemingly routine decision lie deep divisions: split votes, unclear economic context, and unprecedented political pressures. In a context marked by the absence of key economic data due to the shutdown, interpreting the U.S. monetary strategy becomes increasingly complex and potentially destabilizing.

This Wednesday, September 17, the US central bank is expected to cut its key interest rate by 25 basis points. A decision already priced in by the markets, but far from trivial, as inflation remains above target and employment slows down. Behind this monetary shift, investors are looking for a signal. Temporary shock or catalyst for a new cycle? From bitcoin to gold, through Wall Street, all assets are watching Jerome Powell’s verdict.

While traditional markets seek new momentum, Ethereum confirms its central role in the digital financial ecosystem. This Friday, ETH crossed a historic threshold at 4,880 dollars, surpassing its 2021 record. This symbolic peak is part of a global crypto market rally, driven by a more accommodative tone from the Fed and renewed interest from institutional investors. The event marks a strategic turning point for Ethereum, now seen not merely as a speculative asset but as a pillar of future financial infrastructures.

Jerome Powell caught everyone off guard at Jackson Hole by adopting a much more accommodative monetary stance. This unexpected change in tone immediately boosted risky assets.

This Friday, the chairman of the Federal Reserve could deliver his last major speech, in a tense economic context and under unprecedented political pressure.

Jerome Powell's term will expire in May 2026, and Donald Trump has already announced that he is considering three to four candidates to replace him. This crucial decision could radically transform American monetary policy and create shockwaves in global financial markets.

While markets were expecting a clear monetary shift in 2025, Jerome Powell, the chairman of the Federal Reserve, dampened hopes by pointing to an unexpected culprit: Trump. Yes, Donald Trump, back in the White House since January, is leaving his mark on the American economy, to the point of forcing the Fed to play for time. In a context where every word matters, Powell dropped a diplomatic bombshell, accusing Trump's policies of blocking interest rate cuts.

Against the backdrop of years of regulatory ambiguity, Washington seems to want to take control of the crypto ecosystem.

In a changing political climate in the United States, this stance marks a potential turning point for the industry, which has long awaited a solid and predictable legal framework.

By maintaining its benchmark rates for the fourth consecutive time, the Fed has not simply extended a monetary policy. It has taken a stance in a tense economic and political landscape. Stubborn inflation, weakened growth, barely concealed political pressure... The status quo decided on June 18 resembles a statement of intent. Behind the silence of the numbers, a strategy of resistance is taking shape as the central bank finds itself at the heart of an increasingly unstable balancing act.

Israeli airstrikes against Iran are disrupting the calculations of the American Federal Reserve (Fed). While Donald Trump is ramping up pressure for monetary easing, central bankers must now contend with a new factor of uncertainty: the geopolitical escalation that is driving oil prices up.

By threatening the independence of the Fed, Trump is reviving an old fracture with major economic and political implications.
