Donald Trump has publicly pressured Federal Reserve Chair Powell to lower interest rates, seen as crucial for economic recovery, through his platform Truth Social in July 2025.
This pressure may affect markets, hinting at potential rate cuts boosting cryptocurrency and housing market optimism.
Donald Trump has intensified his public campaign, urging Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to reduce interest rates. Trump emphasizes the importance of economic recovery and housing market growth, stressing the urgency of a policy change. “With all of that being said, let’s just get it finished and, even more importantly, LOWER INTEREST RATES!” – Donald Trump, President (2025), Truth Social, July 2025.
Amidst this call for action, Trump denies any personal tension with Powell. Trump, who appointed Powell in 2017, continues his consistent push for accommodative monetary policy through his platform, Truth Social.
The prospect of rate cuts sparked bullish sentiment within cryptocurrency markets. Assets like BTC and ETH tend to rally with lower US yields as investors seek higher returns in crypto.
While historically such pressures have preceded rate discussions, no primary source indicates immediate Fed policy changes. Market speculations persist without confirmed decisions from Powell or other Federal Reserve officials.
In past scenarios, Trump’s influence led to dovish market speculation. Current discussions speculate similar outcomes as crypto assets responded positively to previous Fed easing cycles.
Potential outcomes suggest increased liquidity in crypto markets, particularly Layer 1 assets like SOL and AVAX. Historical trends indicate interest rate policies heavily impact market sentiment and asset flows.
