Federal Reserve Chair under fire over DOJ investigation—sources claim the probe centers on his monetary policy independence. The controversy stems from his handling of pressure to adjust interest rate strategies during a politically charged period. Market observers note that Federal Reserve policy decisions on rates remain critical for broader macroeconomic conditions, with ripple effects across traditional and digital assets. The situation underscores ongoing tensions between political pressure and central bank autonomy in setting course for inflation, employment, and economic cycles.

Haha, coming up with this again? Politics and central banks can never clearly define their own boundaries.

Here it comes again, political interference in the central bank... When will this show end? --- Whenever interest rate policies change, the crypto world trembles along, still at the mercy of Washington's mood. --- It's truly incredible. The independence of the central bank can't even be maintained, and we're still talking about macroeconomic regulation. --- So now the DOJ is investigating the Federal Reserve Chair? Has political struggle come to this? --- If this isn't handled properly, both traditional finance and the crypto market will be dragged into chaos. --- Another annual drama of "Who should the central bank listen to"... Feeling sleepy now. --- Interest rates being used as political bargaining chips—no wonder the market is so anxious. --- Inflation, employment, economic cycles... Basically, it's still a power struggle. --- Just ask, if independence is gone, how can the central bank set the tone?

Here comes the Federal Reserve Chair again, I'm really tired of the old trick of political interference in the independence of the central bank.
