The independence of the Federal Reserve might be more fragile than most assume. According to Jeremy Schwartz, Global CIO at WisdomTree, there's no genuine guarantee that the Fed can maintain its autonomy. His reasoning cuts straight to the institutional reality: the Fed fundamentally operates as an entity created by Congress, which means it ultimately answers to legislative oversight. This raises an interesting question for crypto investors tracking policy trends—if the Fed's independence is constrained by political structures, how might that influence monetary policy decisions and digital asset markets in the coming years?

I've experienced it all. The independence of the Federal Reserve? Haha, it's been a joke since 2018. To put it simply, now it's just politicians printing as much as they want, and then blaming the Fed later. The crypto market has long seen through this; every policy shift is a slaughter.

Now it's finally good. The Federal Reserve's independence was always a paper tiger, and now someone dares to speak out. Congress can shut it down with just one word, and political cycles can quickly change policies. The crypto circle's opportunity is right in front of us.

I've always thought that the Federal Reserve's claims of independence are nonsense. When Congress speaks, independence is meaningless.

To put it simply, the independence of the Federal Reserve is just an illusion; Congress can cut it off whenever they want.

Is the Federal Reserve's independence fragile? Now political games are even more obvious, and the crypto world should be cautious of policy shifts.

The independence of the Federal Reserve is fragile... In plain terms, politicians can intervene whenever they want, and we crypto enthusiasts have long been aware of this.
