Trump just went nuclear on the Fed after they hiked rates 25bps to 3.75-4.00% — first hike since 2023.
His take: "Rates should be 1% or less. We're the best credit in the world BY FAR."
Translation: He wants cheaper money flooding the system. Bullish for risk assets if he gets his way, but Fed's clearly not playing ball yet.
This tension matters for crypto. Lower rates = more liquidity = higher $BTC. But if Fed stays hawkish while Trump screams for cuts, we get volatility.
Watch this space. Political pressure on central banks rarely ends well for tradfi — but often creates degen opportunities in crypto.
