Trump’s $2.4 Billion Criminal Case Against Former Fed Chair Collapses
The Federal Reserve has officially closed its investigation into the alleged crime committed by Jerome Powell, former Fed chair, following accusations from former US President Donald Trump. Trump claimed that a reform led by Powell caused a financial impact of $2.4 billion, raising questions about the governance of the US financial system and sparking repercussions in the cryptocurrency market.
Understanding the Case and Trump’s Accusations
The controversy began when Trump openly criticized a regulatory reform implemented during Powell’s tenure at the Federal Reserve. According to Trump, the change resulted in a $2.4 billion loss for public coffers, raising suspicions of misconduct and even financial crime. The case quickly gained attention, as it involved key figures in US monetary policy and could impact sensitive sectors such as cryptocurrencies and digital assets.
Oversight Body Dismisses Crime and Details Loss
This week, the Fed’s internal oversight body concluded that no crime was committed by Powell or other central bank members related to the reform. According to the report, the $2.4 billion figure referred to accounting adjustments and provisions linked to the new regulatory structure, not direct losses or misappropriation of funds. The technical explanation clarifies that the amount does not necessarily represent a net loss for the financial system, which helped ease fears of systemic risks.
The clarification came at a delicate time for the crypto market, which closely follows US regulatory decisions for their potential to influence global policies and institutional investor confidence.
Impacts on the Cryptocurrency Market
Regulatory stability is one of the main factors watched by those investing in bitcoin and other crypto assets. The outcome of the case brings relief by removing the risk of abrupt changes in the Fed’s approach, which is key in shaping market risk appetite. In recent months, the crypto sector had already been facing volatility amid political and regulatory uncertainties, especially with US elections and debates over new rules for stablecoins and bitcoin ETFs.
Although the episode did not have a direct impact on the prices of major cryptocurrencies, it reinforces the importance of monitoring the US regulatory environment. Changes in Fed leadership or scandals involving its officials can affect capital flows, liquidity, and even decisions by large funds operating in crypto assets.
Next Steps and What to Watch
With Powell cleared, the Federal Reserve maintains its credibility, and the market returns its focus to topics such as inflation, interest rates, and possible advances in crypto regulation. For Brazilian investors, it is essential to monitor potential political developments in the US, as they influence the dollar and, consequently, the value of bitcoin and altcoins in the local market.
