Federal Reserve Chair Powell faces mounting pressure as the DOJ launches criminal investigation into the central bank's operations. The subpoena marks an escalation in scrutiny over monetary policy decisions. Such developments typically reverberate through traditional finance and crypto markets alike—shifts in Fed policy directly influence asset valuations across all classes. Investors are closely monitoring how this unfolds, as any changes to monetary policy frameworks could reshape interest rate expectations and capital flow dynamics heading into the next cycle.

Powell is really about to eat some popcorn now, DOJ is taking serious action... --- Wait, what does this mean for the crypto world? Will interest rates move? --- It's both the Fed and DOJ, traditional finance is starting to turn on each other haha --- Hold on, if the monetary policy framework really changes, then the upcoming capital flows... I need to think carefully --- Criminal investigation into the Fed? This script is a bit extreme, next it might be the crypto world’s turn... --- Alright, don’t get distracted, the core is—policy movements determine how our assets will go --- When Powell faces bad luck, we suffer too, this is what it feels like to be sanctioned by traditional finance

The Federal Reserve's recent actions seem to be under investigation, and the crypto circle is entering a new phase of re-pricing?

Powell is under investigation... Now the Federal Reserve's cards are about to be reshuffled. I want to know right now how this will affect interest rate expectations, and I need to quickly adjust my asset allocation.

Fed is causing trouble again. Is this really going to fall apart this time? Powell might be about to suffer a big loss... It's true that DOJ has taken notice of the Fed; I've never seen this happen before. The crypto world is about to get chaotic. Once interest rate expectations shift, our money starts to move. This is the most exciting time on the chain.
