Trump’s Fed Takeover May Boost Bitcoin and Gold Prices
A crypto commentator, @plur_daddy, suggests that Bitcoin (BTC) and gold could benefit from a policy shift as ex-President Trump seeks more control over US monetary policy. This move could increase liquidity, weaken the dollar, and prompt institutional investment in alternative value stores.
- Global debates on using Russia's reserves for Ukraine loans coincide with gold nearing record highs.
- The commentator believes Trump's Fed influence might lead to rate cuts and yield curve control, diminishing USD value.
- Bitcoin is seen as reflecting liquidity conditions rather than its traditional halving cycle.
- Fed Chair Jerome Powell denies political actions despite public scrutiny and pressure.
- A suggested pathway involves lowering mortgage rates via Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac without expanding central bank balance sheets directly.
- This approach aligns with political incentives ahead of US midterms, yet poses inflation risks.
- Bitcoin's sensitivity to liquidity changes is highlighted, especially concerning the Treasury General Account's fluctuations.
- Europe's stance on Russia's frozen assets supports crypto's rationale, posing potential financial consequences.
- Gold's recent performance supports the store-of-value argument, projected to rise further if central-bank buying continues.
Notable traders agree with the thesis, predicting Bitcoin's next upward leg within six months. At publication, BTC trades at $113,121.
