The Fed's leadership is pushing back hard. A Justice Department probe into the central bank? That's not just bureaucratic friction—it's being framed as a direct challenge to monetary policy independence. When political pressure meets the Fed's operational autonomy, markets pay attention. This kind of institutional tension ripples through everything from interest rates to risk asset valuations, including digital assets. Worth monitoring how this plays out.

The Federal Reserve is at it again, the Department of Justice investigating the central bank? Who are they trying to threaten... The independence of the Fed is often praised as protection, but in reality, it means no one dares to oversee. But if political interference really happens, the crypto world will be the first to suffer. Currently, all asset prices are betting on the Federal Reserve's stance. If something really goes wrong this time, be careful.

The Federal Reserve is being watched by the Department of Justice. Now the crypto world has to worry... Political interference in monetary policy's independence, and in the end, it's us retail investors who suffer.
