Recently, the controversy surrounding the federal funds rate in U.S. politics has attracted attention. Trump publicly stated that Federal Reserve Chair Powell is facing legal action for refusing to proactively cut interest rates. This reflects deep disagreements over the direction of monetary policy.

From the perspective of the crypto market, the direction of interest rate policies directly impacts the performance of risk assets. A high-interest-rate environment typically suppresses investors' enthusiasm for high-volatility assets like ETH, SOL, etc.; conversely, expectations of easing will push up the valuation prospects of these tokens.

Interestingly, this policy game is essentially a trade-off between economic growth and inflation control. The market is closely monitoring Powell's decision trajectory, as it could redefine the entire crypto asset allocation landscape for 2026.

What do you think about this issue? Will Trump's pressure change the Federal Reserve's policy stance? And what does this mean for exchange tokens like BNB?

ETH7,56%

SOL5,15%

BNB5,29%

Once the interest rate cut expectations are realized, ETH is probably going to take off It's unlikely Powell can withstand Trump's pressure; in the end, a compromise is inevitable If BNB follows the easing cycle this time, the exchange token landscape will really change Instead of guessing what Powell is thinking, it's better to just hold good coins and wait for the rebound Political pressure + market expectations, the Federal Reserve has long been on the fire Interest rate decisions are essentially guessing cards in a gamble; let's just wait for the results The allocation pattern in 2026? It's still too early to bet now, but signals of easing are becoming more obvious

ngl powell's under pressure but fed independence ain't just theater... analyzed thoroughly & the exploit vector here is obvious—political pressure on monetary policy creates systemic risk, not just market volatility. red flags detected everywhere honestly.

Trump is at it again, I really can't understand the fuss about interest rate cuts. --- The Federal Reserve's actions are basically politicians betting on the rise and fall of the currency value, don't take it too seriously. --- I just want to know if BNB can hit a new high this time, regardless of how Powell chooses. --- Loose monetary policy leads to rising coins, tightening leads to falling coins, cycle repeats, same old story. --- In the end, the rate war still ends with the retail investors paying the price. Wake up, everyone. --- It's too early to talk about 2026 now. Let's see how the coin prices perform next year before saying anything.

I really don't believe Powell can't handle the pressure, but if he really cuts interest rates and ETH explodes, let's not get too excited... --- Basically, it's a political game. How independent can the Federal Reserve really be, uh... --- If BNB doesn't move up now, just wait and see. Once the rate cut expectations materialize, it'll take off. --- I just want to know if Powell is genuinely tough or just pretending to be tough. Hey, this is too crucial for crypto enthusiasts. --- After all, it's still about money. If interest rates loosen a bit, we all make money, huh? --- Trump's rhetoric... I’m also amazed that the Fed can't hold out, but in terms of the market, it really depends on policy signals. --- The rate cut expectations have been hyped up, but when actual policies come out, it causes a sell-off. I bet five bucks. --- What's interesting is that no one cares about economic growth anymore; everyone is just watching the coin prices.

Powell really held up, not being hijacked by Trump If the rate cut expectations really come true, SOL will skyrocket The independence of the Federal Reserve is basically a political game, crypto circle watching BNB and similar exchange tokens are most sensitive to interest rates, rate cuts = trading volume explosion = coin price soaring The key is whether the market believes that a rate cut will really happen, right now it's all a game Trump keeps pressing the button every day, what can the central bank do, anyway the crypto circle is making money If Trump really succeeds, I will go all in on SOL, betting on the easing expectations Interest rates are just one word for us: money
