🚨 BREAKING: THE TRUMP–FED RATE FIGHT IS HEATING UP
The Federal Reserve has just pushed its benchmark rate to 3.75%–4.00%, the first rate hike since 2023. The decision was unanimous, with officials signaling that another increase could still come later this year.
President Trump is pushing in the opposite direction.
After the hike, Trump said U.S. rates should be “1%, or less,” arguing that the U.S. has the strongest credit standing in the world.
Trump also said he had spoken with Fed Chair Kevin Warsh before the vote and told him to vote with the board because his individual vote would not change the outcome. Warsh ultimately backed the rate increase alongside the other voting members.
The key tension is now clear:
🇺🇸 Trump: wants much lower borrowing costs
🏦 Fed: says inflation is still too high
⚡ Warsh: supported the hike while stressing the Fed’s independence
And crypto is already reacting:
$ONE +19.37% 🚀
$LSK +5.13%
$ZEC +3.83%
The rate battle isn’t just a Washington story anymore. Crypto traders are watching every Fed move. 👀
