Federal Reserve Maintains Interest Rates in Powell’s Final Meeting
As widely expected, the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) kept the benchmark interest rate unchanged at 3.50%–3.75%. This decision marks the fourth consecutive pause and is expected to be the last meeting during Chair Jerome Powell’s term, which ends next month. For investors, this decision has long been fully priced in; the current focus is mainly on the imminent leadership change. The “Powell era,” characterized by aggressive inflation fighting, is coming to an end, with market attention shifting to his nominee Kevin Warsh. This personnel change introduces uncertainty and may also signal a significant shift in monetary policy, potentially impacting risk assets like Bitcoin. Meanwhile, a rebound in oil prices further complicates the Fed’s policy challenge, forcing it to choose between “prioritizing price stability” and “supporting economic growth.”
Candidate Fed Chair Kevin Warsh Holds Crypto Assets, Signals Policy Shift
Kevin Warsh, nominated to succeed Jerome Powell as Fed Chair, has successfully passed a key vote in the Senate Banking Committee, with the nomination now heading to the full Senate for consideration. This move is highly significant for the crypto industry: Warsh’s recent disclosed financial holdings include substantial digital assets such as Solana, Optimism, and investments in companies like Polychain and dYdX. He has previously publicly called Bitcoin an “important asset,” contrasting with his predecessor’s more cautious stance. For investors, if Warsh is confirmed, it could serve as a long-term catalyst for positive developments, potentially fostering a more informed and even more friendly regulatory environment at the highest levels of the U.S. financial system.
