Debate on federal independence
This move in digital assets coincided with another key market focus: the emergence of Kevin Warsh as the Federal Reserve Chairman. In a speech in the Senate, Warsh defended central bank independence and avoided promises of immediate interest rate cutsDespite existing political pressure, as reported by CriptoNoticias.
His comments were interpreted as a sign of cautious monetary policy, which tends to temper enthusiasm for assets considered riskier, such as cryptocurrencies.
But Warsh also adopted a constructive tone towards the digital ecosystem. By recognizing that cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin assets are already part of the modern financial system,. This view helped balance market sentiment, avoiding sharp moves and strengthening Bitcoin’s long-term growth story.
