This week, the Federal Reserve's statements have been the most significant event for cryptocurrency enthusiasts. The anticipated slowdown in interest rate cuts and Powell's firm stance on Bitcoin have contributed to the overall decline in cryptocurrencies.

Powell's Position on Bitcoin

Powell, who will serve as Fed Chair for at least another two years, cannot be easily removed like other public officials. Trump acknowledged that it would not be wise to dismiss Powell for economic stability, allowing him to remain until his term ends in 2026. Moreover, Powell explicitly stated that the Fed would not accumulate Bitcoin, emphasizing that such an action would require legislative backing.

The Fed will not accumulate Bitcoin without legislative approval.

Reasons for Cryptocurrency Decline

Despite Powell’s remarks, it remains uncertain whether Republicans can pass this law. The likelihood may not be high as some Republicans are hesitant. Amidst the decline of BTC, altcoins are also rapidly losing value. Reasons for cryptocurrency decline include the expectation of one or two interest rate cuts in 2025, Fed's uncertainty about achieving a 2% inflation target over two years, and Powell's opposition to BTC reserves.

Market Impact Factors

Today's announcements explain the cryptocurrency drop. The risk of rate hikes if inflation doesn't fall, the strong dollar index reaching record levels, and the decline in U.S. stock markets are all impacting the market.

The circumstances related to the Fed's statements are affecting the dynamics of the cryptocurrency market and triggering investor reactions. It is essential to monitor developments as changes in economic policy could significantly impact cryptocurrency values and stability.
