The US cryptocurrency and financial markets are experiencing a series of significant changes. The Trump administration is about to appoint a new Federal Reserve Chair, with candidates including Kevin Hassett, Christopher Waller, Kevin Warsh, and Rick Rieder. The appointment of the new chair has attracted much attention, especially regarding the decisiveness of interest rate policies—current Chair Powell has been criticized for his relatively slow actions, and the future appointee is expected to make more agile decisions.

On the legal front, there have been new developments in the advancement of the US Market Structure Act for cryptocurrencies. The originally planned review schedule has been delayed due to the Senate Banking Committee adjusting legislative priorities, now expected to take place from late February to March. However, the Senate Agriculture Committee plans to vote on its version of digital asset legislation on January 27, which will then need to be merged with the Banking Committee’s version before being submitted to the full Senate for review. These steps reflect ongoing regulatory efforts to standardize digital assets.

It is noteworthy that the US Supreme Court is currently hearing cases involving the scope of presidential and Federal Reserve powers. The court is discussing the administrative nature of the Federal Reserve, which will directly impact the president’s authority to dismiss officials. Meanwhile, institutional investors remain optimistic about the long-term prospects of digital assets. Ark Invest has issued a forecast suggesting that by 2030, the cryptocurrency market could reach $28 trillion, indicating that mainstream capital continues to have strong confidence in the digital asset sector.

The new chairman is quite tough, and Powell's decision-making speed is truly impressive... --- 28 trillion? Cathie’s prediction is a bit wild, but I like it. --- Wait, if the Supreme Court really changes the scope of power... will the Federal Reserve be sidelined? --- The Agriculture Committee voted on January 27? Feels like progress is faster than expected. --- They’re planning to change the bill and merge it; if this process can be completed by May, that would be good. --- Regulation coming—this time is it serious or just another round of bickering... --- Talking about agile decision-making sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just about raising interest rates quickly to curb inflation, which isn’t good for us. --- Can you really trust Ark’s numbers? Bitcoin could still rise tenfold. --- The key is the balance of power—whether the president can arbitrarily replace the Federal Reserve Chair and change everything.

According to my analysis, this is the opening act of the crypto world’s grand show. Powell is about to step down, everyone. Hey, 28 trillion? I believe half of ARK’s prediction, and the other half I’ll wait to see proven wrong. The Senate vote on January 27? Mark it on your calendar, everyone. It could be a turning point. This power game at the Supreme Court is the real big show. The fate of the Federal Reserve is about to be rewritten. I bet fifty cents that the new chairman who finally comes in will be ten thousand times more decisive than Powell. On-chain data is still sleeping. Only when policies are truly implemented will the big players start to put real money on the line. Honestly, I can’t quite figure out whether the rapid regulatory push is to stabilize the market or to cut the leeks. The algorithm tells me to stay optimistic, but my wallet advises me to wait and see.

2.8 trillion? The number calculated by Ark is a bit outrageous, but I like this optimistic attitude. Can the new chairman act faster? Powell has indeed been dragging on for too long. The key is the vote by the Agriculture Committee on January 27th. The banking side is slow, and if this continues, when will the crypto bill pass? Can the president just remove Federal Reserve officials directly? If the Supreme Court rules on this case, it could be explosive. It seems that among these candidates, Kevin Warsh might understand the market the best. I hope I'm not just guessing. I'm only concerned about one thing: after the new policy is announced, will the coin prices go up? Everything else is just虚的.

Powell's slow-moving demeanor is finally about to be replaced, but honestly, the new chairperson still needs to prove themselves with real actions. 28 trillion? Ark's prediction is really bold... but I like it. The bill has been delayed until March, and it's another round of staged hearings. Regulation is truly approaching step by step. Can the president directly remove the Federal Reserve Chair? The Supreme Court is about to rule on this matter, which is interesting. On January 27, the Agriculture Committee will take the lead; it seems the regulatory framework for crypto is taking shape. This round of Federal Reserve Chair replacement might really loosen interest rates, and the crypto market should take off, right? Legal + political + capital forces combined—2025 indeed feels like a year of major change.

$28 trillion? That number sounds crazy, but Ark and these folks never talk nonsense... I'm a bit excited. --- It's best if the new chair can be more decisive than Powell. We've really waited long enough these past couple of years. --- The Senate Agriculture Committee vote on January 27? Feels like it's going to be a back-and-forth again... When will there be real progress on standardization? --- The scope of presidential power in this case has a significant impact on the Fed. Will interest rate policies become more uncertain because of this? --- Crypto legislation delayed until March again? But better late than never, and we have these two months to wait anyway. --- Ark is still bullish, I believe... But the $28 trillion figure depends on how things develop later. --- This wave of reform is gaining momentum. It looks like crypto in the US is really about to be officially integrated into the system.

Powell is too slow, it’s time to change to someone more aggressive. We can’t rely on him for interest rate decisions. --- 28 trillion? Uh... Is ARK’s prediction a bit too optimistic? I’m thinking. --- Regulators are coming, the merger version... Feels like we’ll have to wait a long time, so frustrating. --- This move by the Supreme Court, if presidential powers expand, is it good or bad for the crypto world? --- The Agriculture Committee votes on January 27? The Banking Committee is slow as usual, this progress is really frustrating. --- The new Federal Reserve Chair makes quick decisions... Could it be another empty promise? Anyway, it’s all talk. --- 28 trillion sounds great, but let’s wait until 2030 to see. Nothing is certain right now. --- If this lawsuit over the scope of authority affects crypto policies, that would be interesting. --- Take it step by step, after all, it still needs approval from the entire Senate. Being anxious is useless. --- If this wave really replaces the Federal Reserve Chair with a more aggressive one, could the crypto prices rebound?
