The Fed Chair says interest rate decisions follow the public interest—not political pressure. Sounds good in theory. But check the timeline: Powell's term wraps up May 15, 2026. What comes next? A new Fed leadership almost certainly aligned with aggressive rate cuts and expanded liquidity. That's not speculation. It's how the system actually works. Markets are already pricing in the shift. For crypto, this could mean substantial changes in capital flow dynamics and borrowing costs. Keep your eyes on this transition period.

2026? It's about time for a change. This wave of liquidity release is a direct benefit for the crypto circle.

Haha, Powell's words sound nice, but does he really think no one is looking at the calendar? The mid-2026 change should have happened already, and the next one is definitely going to be easing.

Uh, wait a minute, claiming not to be under political pressure? The routine of changing people in 2026 has already been played out and is old news.

Uh, I've heard this explanation too many times. When Powell steps down and a new person takes over, they'll definitely loosen the policy, and then we'll go through the liquidity cycle all over again.

It's really interesting. Powell says he's not influenced by political pressure... but what about after May 2026? The new Fed leadership's fund flow can already be seen from on-chain footprints, and the market has long priced it in. We're just following the trend.

Uh, once Powell steps down, it's over. The new arrivals will definitely loosen the reins. How many times has this trick been played?

Talking about public interest, I wonder who it's meant for? Powell stepping down in 2026, and the new person coming in just keeps flooding the market—this script is so cliché.

Haha, political neutrality, huh? Well said... Anyway, the real show will start in 2026.

Mouse Mouse, I laughed. This political pressure rhetoric can fool no one. After 26 years, Powell steps down and a new person takes over, but it's just a change of soup without changing the medicine.
