【Crypto World】 Recently, the Fed subpoena incident has heated up, and the market is speculating whether current Chair Powell will be forced to step down early. Betting markets have placed big bets, with the probability of Powell being dismissed before May soaring to 15%—which is no small number.

What truly excites investors is that there are two potential successors named Kevin: Hasset and Waugh, both of whom are considered friendly to Trump. Especially Hasset, who is widely viewed as a dovish candidate, meaning a significant rate cut could become a reality. What does this mean for the crypto space? Liquidity will loosen. Money will be easier to find, which is good news for Bitcoin and the entire digital asset market.

Speaking of opportunities, Bitcoin Hyper is also making moves. They are working hard to build a Layer-2 ecosystem, aiming to turn Bitcoin into a programmable asset, which is a technological breakthrough. Currently, their token presale is progressing well, having raised nearly $30.4 million. Achieving over $100 million in project funding so quickly shows that the market still has high expectations for this direction.

If Hasset takes the stage, a rate cut is definitely coming. Only when liquidity loosens do we have a chance.

Is Powell really going to be replaced? If that's true, then we definitely need to watch how liquidity moves... But whether Bitcoin can ride this wave of benefits is still uncertain.
