Breaking: Trump Slams Powell, Calls for Immediate Rate Cuts as Crypto Prices Turn Bullish
Trump’s Post on Truth Social
President Donald Trump took to Truth Social with a strong message directed at Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell.
This statement underscores Trump’s long-standing criticism of Powell and the Fed’s handling of interest rates, reflecting his push for aggressive monetary easing.
Fed Expectations: September Rate Cut Likely
Trump’s comments come at a time when markets are already pricing in a Federal Reserve rate cut at the upcoming September 16–17, 2025 FOMC meeting. Recent weak jobs data and cooling economic indicators have strengthened expectations of a 0.25% cut.
However, the Fed has not yet made an official announcement. Investors can follow the official updates.
If Trump’s demands for a “BIG” cut were to be taken literally, markets could see a larger-than-expected move—something that could shock both traditional and crypto markets.
Why This Matters for Crypto
Lower interest rates generally mean more liquidity and cheaper borrowing, which can fuel speculative assets like Bitcoin and altcoins. Trump’s post could therefore add momentum to the bullish crypto narrative heading into Q4 2025.
- Bitcoin ($ BTC ): Often seen as a hedge against loose monetary policy, a confirmed rate cut could reignite demand.
- Altcoins: Lower yields on traditional assets may push investors toward riskier plays, increasing capital inflows into altcoins.
- DeFi & Stablecoins: A friendlier macro environment may support higher yields in DeFi, strengthening stablecoin demand and usage.
Market Outlook
If the Fed follows through with the expected 0.25% cut, markets may see steady support for risk assets. But if Powell resists pressure and holds rates steady, volatility could spike—something that could weigh on crypto in the short term.
Trump’s direct intervention highlights how politics and monetary policy are increasingly intertwined with crypto markets. For now, crypto traders should brace for heightened volatility around the September Fed meeting.

Anthropic’s performance is “good but not good enough”: under “adjusted profitability,” revenue growth sharply brakes!
Anthropic's third-quarter revenue reached $16.8 billion, an increase of nearly 50% quarter-over-quarter, and achieved "adjusted profitability"—but the market remains unconvinced. The main concern lies in monthly growth slowing sharply from 33% to single digits, leaving a gap of several billion dollars short of the year-end $100 billion target. Token prices have hit historic lows, with the disconnect between volume and price becoming increasingly prominent. Whether this "good but not good enough" performance can support a $2 trillion IPO valuation remains uncertain.
