The Federal Reserve's independence faces unprecedented political pressure in 2025, with the Trump administration's removal of Governor Lisa Cook and appointment of Stephen Miran raising concerns about monetary policy prioritization of short-term gains. This erosion of Fed credibility is driving investors toward inflation-hedging assets, with stablecoin market capitalization surpassing $200 billion under the GENIUS Act's regulatory framework. Regulatory divergence between US dollar-backed stablecoins and EU's MiCA-cap alternatives is prompting region-specific allocation strategies, while Bitcoin and Ethereum exhibit dual roles as speculative assets and inflation hedges amid central bank uncertainty.
