The resignation of Federal Reserve Vice Chair Barr triggers regulatory changes

Michael Barr, the Vice Chairman for Supervision of the Federal Reserve, announced that he will resign from his position on February 28, 2025, but will continue to serve as a Federal Reserve governor. This decision has sparked discussions about the future direction of financial regulation. Experts point out that although Barr is resigning, the likelihood of loosening regulations in the short term is low due to the Democratic majority on the Federal Reserve Board.

During his tenure, Barr actively advocated for the regulation of stablecoins, emphasizing their dependence on central bank trust and the necessity of establishing an appropriate regulatory framework. His departure may impact the formulation of future stablecoin regulatory policies.

US states are actively promoting Bitcoin reserve legislation.

Several states in the United States are considering introducing "strategic Bitcoin reserve" bills, with up to 20 state-level proposals possibly being put forward. Most of these bills are based on the model proposed by the Satoshi Action Fund and aim to incorporate Bitcoin into state fiscal policies. Currently, 14 states are preparing to introduce related legislation, reflecting a strong interest among states in Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

Market Peak Prediction and Liquidity Analysis

Industry experts analyze and predict that the cryptocurrency market may peak in mid-March 2025, followed by a significant correction. This prediction is based on an analysis of the U.S. dollar liquidity environment, with an estimated injection of about $612 billion in liquidity during the first quarter, primarily from a decrease in the balance of the Federal Reserve's reverse repo tool and the release of funds from the Treasury.

However, the Federal Reserve's quantitative tightening policy is expected to reduce liquidity by about $180 billion. In addition, the second quarter may face the impact of the debt ceiling issue and the peak tax period, further suppressing market liquidity.
