Yellen Warns Against Trump’s Fed Dismissal Attempt

Yellen Warns Against Trump’s Fed Dismissal Attempt

The post Yellen Warns Against Trump’s Fed Dismissal Attempt appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Points: Federal Reserve under threat, potential market destabilization, leadership conflict. Yellen warns of crisis in confidence globally. Bitcoin, Ethereum could rise on U.S. policy credibility fears. Former President Donald Trump has allegedly dismissed Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, igniting a legal and political controversy that threatens the Fed’s independence and economic stability. The potential destabilization could affect global markets, leading to volatility in USD-related assets and influencing Bitcoin and Ethereum as potential safe havens. Trump’s Alleged Fed Interference Sparks Global Concerns Allegations that former President Trump sought to dismiss Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell were made, reportedly to influence monetary policy. This action was heavily criticized by former U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, highlighting the potential collapse of monetary policy credibility. Concerns over destabilization have emerged due to potential interference with the Fed’s independence. The controversy poses threats to market stability globally and U.S. policy credibility. Yellen has urged Congress and the financial industry to oppose this alleged dismissal attempt, emphasizing a need to maintain the Fed’s independence. Market participants are already showing concern over volatility prospects, with stocks and dollar-backed assets under scrutiny, while cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum might attract safe-haven flows. “Trump claims to have ‘dismissed’ Powell with ‘just cause,’ this move is not only illegal but also extremely dangerous. This is a direct attempt to politicize the Federal Reserve, it is a threat to its leadership, and it is an attempt to force monetary policy to bend to the will of the president. This action could end the Fed’s independence— and what will follow is the collapse of U.S. monetary policy credibility at home and abroad.” Crypto Markets Watch: Bitcoin and Ethereum’s Potential Surge Did you know? Historical instances of political interference with the Federal Reserve, such as during the 1970s Nixon era, have led…

SHIBA INU, PEPE & Stellar (XLM) Top Picks

SHIBA INU, PEPE & Stellar (XLM) Top Picks

The post SHIBA INU, PEPE & Stellar (XLM) Top Picks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Finding high-upside digital assets under $1 remains a top priority for traders looking for the next breakout. Analysts are pointing toward Shiba Inu, Stellar, PEPE, Dogecoin, and MAGACOIN Finance as standout options. Here’s a closer look at why these altcoins are attracting attention. Shiba Inu: “Tik Tak… Time is Running Out” TradingView analyst Hamidemo has warned that time may be running out to accumulate Shiba Inu (SHIB) at its current levels. After more than a year of consolidation inside a triangular pattern, SHIB is approaching a technical squeeze that could drive a major breakout. Currently priced at $0.00001246, SHIB has lagged Bitcoin’s growth, but projections suggest it could surge more than 500% to near $0.000078. Some forecasts go further, placing SHIB as high as $0.000115 if momentum carries. Market watchers stress that while few eyes are on SHIB now, its accumulation phase could fuel one of the strongest meme coin rallies once the breakout arrives. Stellar (XLM) Holds Its Edge in Payments At $0.394, Stellar (XLM) has posted a 77% gain over the past two months, outperforming several Layer 1 rivals. Known for its speed and affordability, Stellar continues to advance its goal of simplifying cross-border transactions. Institutions and retail users alike see XLM as a bridge for real-world finance, especially as global adoption of blockchain-based payments expands. Despite short-term shifts toward Bitcoin dominance, Stellar’s foundation and past performance suggest that renewed demand could place it firmly back on traders’ radar when market sentiment rotates back to altcoins. PEPE Sees Accumulation Despite Price Dips PEPE, trading at $0.00001048, has faced recent price declines but continues to enjoy active community backing. Exchange reserves are falling, with tokens being moved into long-term storage — a sign of confidence among holders. Large wallets have also been adding to their positions, showing belief in…

Why Hashj Cloud Mining Is A Game-Changer. BTC, DOGE, And SOL Are All Direct Beneficiaries, Easily Earning $18,789 Per Day.

Why Hashj Cloud Mining Is A Game-Changer. BTC, DOGE, And SOL Are All Direct Beneficiaries, Easily Earning $18,789 Per Day.

The post Why Hashj Cloud Mining Is A Game-Changer. BTC, DOGE, And SOL Are All Direct Beneficiaries, Easily Earning $18,789 Per Day. appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. From the early days of Bitcoin to the ascent of altcoins like XRP (Ripple) and Polkadot (DOT), cryptocurrency mining has always been at the core of digital finance. However, the mining story looks far different in 2025 than it did in the past. Mining has changed from being an expensive, technically difficult task to something that nearly anybody can do from any part of the world, thanks to products like HashJ. This article explains XRP and DOT mining, explains HashJ, lists its benefits, explains why users are using it, defines its ongoing activities, and ends with some important cryptocurrency news updates. A Review of DOT and XRP Mining In the past, the most common way for clients to take part in blockchain verification to earn benefits was by mining currency like Bitcoin. But as time goes along, fresh ideas like XRP and Polkadot ( DOT ) brought about advanced networks and ecosystems that have made them very attractive to both miners and investors. XRP (Ripple): Commonly employed by banks as well as different banks, XRP is known for its fast and cheap transactions. Mining XRP is a little different than mining Bitcoin since the Ripple system sets a greater value on generators than ordinary Proof-of-Work mining. Yet, without need complex setups, cloud mining opportunities are given by websites such as HashJ. DOT (Polkadot): One of the most complex blockchain ecosystems, Polkadot links several blockchains together into a single network. The demand for DOT mining and mounting choices is increasing as its popularity has grown. Through its cloud-based infrastructure, HashJ enables users to join in DOT-based mining and earning rewards activities. For everyday users, both XRP mining and DOT mining can seem technical or expensive — but that’s where HashJ’s cloud mining solution steps in. What is HashJ? Anyone can mine…
