Bank of America just flagged something worth paying attention to: an ongoing criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Powell could potentially postpone the Fed's interest rate cuts. This matters big for crypto markets since rate policy directly influences capital flows and investor risk appetite. When the Fed delays rate easing, it typically keeps liquidity tighter, affecting everything from altcoin valuations to trading volume across markets. Worth monitoring how this develops.

ngl the "criminal investigation" angle feels taxonomically imprecise here... where's the actual evidence linking powell's legal issues to rate decision mechanics? data suggests otherwise. let me pull up my spreadsheet on fed communication patterns from the last cycle.

Doing this again? Does Powell being investigated have anything to do with interest rate cuts? It sounds a bit ridiculous.

The sharks smell blood, but the blood hasn't come out yet. Let's wait and see how Powell handles it.

NGL Powell gets involved in a controversy, and the Federal Reserve will just goof off again. This is not good news for the crypto world.
