🚨 From Powell to Worch: How the Federal Reserve Redefined Cryptocurrency Rules

The Federal Reserve's relationship with digital currencies has evolved from mere speculation to recognizing digital assets as part of the global financial system. Now, the leadership change in May 2026 may represent a major turning point for $BTC markets.
📉 Powell Era: Rates = Market Trend. Under Jerome Powell's leadership, cryptocurrencies traded in tandem with macroeconomic cycles:
• Rate hikes → pressure on Bitcoin and risk assets
• Federal Open Market Committee meetings → catalysts for volatility and profit-taking events
• Rate cuts in 2025 → increased liquidity and renewed risk appetite.
🔥 Kevin Worch's Entry: Transition to "Hard Money". The anticipated shift to Kevin Worch in May 2026 is seen as a systemic change:
• Focus on "Sound Money" principles
• Normalization of the Federal Reserve's balance sheet
• More disciplined and forward-looking monetary policy
Ironically, this narrative aligns more closely with Bitcoin's fundamental design — a fixed supply versus monetary expansion.
Powell's judgment of digital currencies has been through cycles of volatility and liquidity shifts. Worch may enter a market where cryptocurrencies are no longer "alternatives" but part of the financial infrastructure #r
