The third wave of rate cuts in 2023 has been implemented—The Federal Reserve cut interest rates by another 25 basis points, bringing the federal funds rate to the current range of 3.5%-3.75%. Overall, the rate has been lowered by 0.75 percentage points. Powell's interpretation is as follows: inflation risks are rising, while employment is stabilizing, so the rate cut mainly aims to protect employment and bring inflation back to the 2% target. Tariffs have become the main scapegoat for inflation exceeding expectations. However, Trump is not very satisfied, believing that the rate cut was too conservative and that more aggressive measures could have been taken. He has frequently criticized Powell's decision-making in public. This policy adjustment has had a significant impact on market sentiment in the crypto space—lower interest rates generally boost valuation expectations for risk assets.

Powell's recent move is a dilemma; lowering rates gets criticized, not lowering also gets criticized. Trump, this guy really knows how to apply pressure.

Powell is still too conservative; Trump is right, it should be even more aggressive.

Powell is still too cautious. Trump was right—cutting interest rates needs to be more aggressive. The crypto world has been waiting for ages.
