🚨 From Powell to Warsh: How the Fed Redefined Crypto’s Rules

The Federal Reserve’s relationship with crypto has evolved from “just speculation” to recognizing digital assets as part of the global financial system. And now, the leadership shift in May 2026 could mark a major turning point for $BTC markets 💥

📉 The Powell Era: rates = market direction. Under Jerome Powell, crypto traded in sync with macro cycles:

• Rate hikes → pressure on BTC & risk assets

• FOMC meetings → volatility triggers and profit-taking events

• Rate cuts in 2025 → liquidity boost and renewed risk appetite

🔥 Enter Kevin Warsh: the “hard money” shift. The expected transition to Kevin Warsh in May 2026 is seen as a regime change:

• Focus on “sound money” principles

• Balance sheet normalization at the Fed

• More disciplined, predictable monetary policy

Ironically, this narrative aligns closer with Bitcoin’s core design - fixed supply vs. monetary expansion.

Powell governed crypto through volatility cycles and liquidity shifts. Warsh may step into a market where crypto is no longer an “alternative” but part of the global financial infrastructure 🌐
