😱🇺🇲Elon Musk's 'FED' Comment: They Have Absurdly Too Many Staff 👀
After #DonaldTrump won the election, #ElonMusk , who increased his wealth to over $400 billion and became the first in the world in this sense, seems to be continuing his research within DOGE. Musk recently said that the employees of the US Federal Reserve are more than they need.
Musk, who is at the head of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) together with Vivek Ramaswamy, responded to the data regarding the Fed in investor Chamath Palihapitiya's blog post. Musk responded to Palihapitiya's post, in which he wrote that the Fed stopped reducing interest rates less in 2025 due to fear of high inflation, by saying "The number of employees at the Fed is more than it should be" via X.
Will Milei be allowed to go?
As in the markets, one of the main reasons why inflation is high in many countries is seen as the fact that there are too many employees among government employees. Even Javier Milei, who emerged victorious from the last elections in Argentina, either closed many government institutions or gave a large amount of final approval to employees in the institutions.
Musk also had a meeting with Javier Milei before the US elections. Lastly, Argentine inflation, which was at 190%, has decreased in the last 3 years despite these high rates. Milei described the steps of these diseases as “shock therapy”.
Here, Musk had proposals for this facility called DOGE, which resembles Dogecoin, in order to reduce the US’s annual budget deficit of 2 transactions dollars, and he also received approval from Donald Trump.

Cryptocurrency markets fall after the Fed's press conference
As we mentioned last week, we could expect significant volatility in the crypto markets following the FOMC meeting and the press conference of Fed Chairman Jerome Powell, and that's exactly what happened after a more restrictive approach by the Fed looking towards 2025.
Although the Fed cut rates by 25 basis points, which was already widely anticipated, the unexpected part was the revision of its outlook for 2025, reducing the expected rate cuts from three to just two, a total of 50 basis points. Additionally, they raised their inflation expectations for the end of 2025 from 2.1% to 2.5%.
As a result, the markets reacted with massive sell-offs. The total crypto market capitalization fell by 14%, dropping from $3.73 trillion (all-time high) to $3.2 trillion. Altcoins were the most affected, as Bitcoin's dominance increased despite the overall market decline.
The question now is whether we will see a deeper correction as Powell's comments are digested by the markets, or if investors will take the opportunity to "buy the dip" and remain optimistic about the long-term outlook.

Bitcoin and Crypto Prepare to Recover: Hope for Resilience Despite Fed's Tightening Policy
The crypto and global stock markets have just experienced a shock after the U.S. Federal Reserve's (Fed) decision to cut interest rates by 25 basis points on Wednesday. Although this move was anticipated, signals indicating that interest rates will remain high for a long time have put significant pressure on the market.
Shock from the Fed and Market Reaction
• Bitcoin drops sharply: Following Chairman #Fed Jerome Powell's speech, Bitcoin lost 5% of its value, dropping to 100,000 USD.

💥 QCP Capital: Overly Bullish Positioning Behind Market Crash
The hawkish #FOMC triggered a sharp selloff in risk assets:
- Nasdaq fell 3.56%, S&P 500 dropped 2.95%, and $BTC declined 6.13%.
- $BTC hit a low of $98,800 during the Asia session, with altcoins losing over 10%.
- The market saw $258.6M in long liquidations.
👉 While the #Fed ’s expected 25bps cut wasn’t the issue, the panic was driven by a revised dot plot, now projecting 2 rate cuts in 2025, below the market's expectation of 3.
👉 QCP points to the root cause being overly bullish market positioning, leaving risk assets vulnerable after a one-sided rally post-election.

Fed Rules out BTC Reserves: 'We're Not Allowed to Own Bitcoin'
Why the Federal Reserve Can’t—and Won’t—Hold Bitcoin Anytime Soon
Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell reiterated the central bank’s stance on bitcoin during a press conference Wednesday, following a rate cut. Addressing a question about the U.S. government building a bitcoin reserve, Powell dismissed the possibility, citing legal constraints. He stated:
We’re not allowed to own bitcoin. The Federal Reserve Act says what we can own, and we’re not looking for a law change. That’s the kind of thing for Congress to consider but we are not looking for a law change at the Fed.
Powell’s comments align with his historically cautious tone regarding cryptocurrencies. In previous statements, he has referred to BTC as a speculative asset, lacking the stability to function as a legitimate currency. In 2021, Powell remarked that cryptocurrencies are “not really useful as a store of value” and criticized their volatility, which poses risks to investors and financial systems. He has also distinguished between cryptocurrencies like bitcoin and central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), highlighting the latter as a safer and more controlled innovation.
The Federal Reserve Act limits the central bank’s holdings to U.S. government bonds and other highly secure assets. Although the Fed has expanded its asset purchases during economic crises, including the 2008 financial crash, cryptocurrencies remain outside its purview. Meanwhile, legislative efforts like Senator Cynthia Lummis’ Bitcoin Act have sought to integrate bitcoin into the U.S. financial system. These proposals, however, have faced resistance from lawmakers concerned about crypto’s lack of regulation and potential misuse.
Moreover, President-elect Donald Trump has announced plans to establish a national bitcoin reserve, aiming to position the U.S. as a global leader in cryptocurrency. This initiative involves the U.S. government acquiring substantial bitcoin holdings, potentially utilizing assets seized in criminal cases as a foundation. The proposal has significantly impacted the cryptocurrency market, with bitcoin’s value surpassing $100,000, reflecting investor optimism about favorable regulatory changes under the forthcoming administration. Additionally, Trump’s appointment of David Sacks as the White House AI and crypto czar underscores his commitment to integrating digital assets into national economic strategy.

Fed’s Hawkish Rate Cut Sends Bitcoin Tumbling Below $100,000
Federal Reserve’s conservative rate cut and Powell’s explicit rejection of Bitcoin holdings trigger crypto market selloff. Bitcoin drops 5% as traders face $851M in liquidations amid scaled-back rate cut expectations for 2025.
#Fed ’S MESSAGE: DON’T COUNT ON AGGRESSIVE EASING
Bitcoin plunged below the psychological $100,000 mark after the Federal Reserve delivered what markets viewed as a hawkish rate cut, lowering its benchmark rate by 25 basis points to 4.25%-4.50%. While the cut itself matched expectations, the accompanying signals from Fed officials painted a far more conservative picture than crypto markets had priced in.
The central bank’s latest dot plot threw cold water on hopes for aggressive monetary easing, projecting just two rate cuts in 2025. Adding to the hawkish tilt, officials raised their 2025 inflation forecast to 2.5%, signaling continued vigilance against price pressures.
（Source：FedWatch）
Fed Chair Jerome Powell further rattled crypto markets by explicitly ruling out any Federal Reserve involvement in Bitcoin accumulation. “We are not allowed to hold Bitcoin, nor are we seeking to change the law,” Powell stated firmly, dashing speculation about potential U.S. government strategic reserves of the cryptocurrency.
Powell emphasized the data-dependent nature of future policy moves while highlighting fresh concerns about protectionist policies and expanding fiscal deficits. The measured tone suggested a Federal Reserve in no hurry to pivot toward substantial easing.
#Crypto🚀🚀 MARKETS REEL FROM DOUBLE BLOW
The hawkish surprise sent Bitcoin plummeting to $99,719.65 early Thursday, down more than 5% from recent highs of $108,000. The selling pressure rippled through the crypto ecosystem, hitting all major digital assets.
The decline marked a sharp reversal from the optimism that had propelled Bitcoin higher following Donald Trump’s November 5 presidential election victory. Markets had been pricing in expectations of crypto-friendly policies, including speculation about a strategic Bitcoin reserve potentially incorporating 200,000 Bitcoins from criminal seizures. Powell’s explicit rejection of Fed involvement in such plans sparked a broad sell-off.
The carnage left a trail of liquidated positions in its wake. Data from Coinglass revealed 293,887 traders facing liquidation in just 24 hours, with total liquidation volume hitting $851 million.
（Source：Sosovalue）
Crypto event traders and market makers rushed to reduce risk exposure as expectations for 2025 rate cuts were scaled back.
“The market had gotten ahead of itself with rate cut expectations,” noted David Lawant, head of research at crypto prime broker FalconX. While Bitcoin’s correlation with major stock indices has declined, Lawant suggested the slower pace of anticipated rate cuts would continue pressuring risk assets in the near term.
（Source：Tradingview）
POLICY ENVIRONMENT WEIGHS ON CRYPTO SENTIMENT
The Fed’s cautious stance toward easing monetary conditions presents a particular challenge for crypto markets. Bitcoin has historically thrived in loose monetary environments but often struggles when liquidity conditions tighten.
Previous enthusiasm about the Trump administration potentially backing a strategic Bitcoin reserve had fueled bullish sentiment. However, Powell’s comments highlighted deeper uncertainties in the policy landscape, intensifying investor concerns about the path forward.
The situation also raises questions about Bitcoin’s reputation as “digital gold” and an inflation hedge. The Fed’s heightened focus on inflation risks could undermine this narrative, at least temporarily.
MARKETS EYE KEY SUPPORT LEVELS
Traders are now watching whether Bitcoin can hold critical support around $99,000. A decisive break below this level could trigger further technical selling. Other major cryptocurrencies face even greater volatility risks as the market digests the Fed’s message.
For longer-term investors, however, the current pullback may offer attractive entry points. Previous episodes of Fed-induced selling have often preceded strong recoveries, particularly in undervalued assets within the crypto ecosystem.
The key moving forward will be monitoring not just Fed policy and economic data, but also shifts in institutional sentiment, derivatives market positioning, and potential regulatory developments that could influence crypto market dynamics.
The Fed’s latest signals suggest crypto markets face a period of adjustment as expectations reset. While near-term pressure seems likely, Bitcoin and the broader digital asset space retain their long-term growth potential.
The current volatility serves as a reminder that crypto markets remain highly sensitive to monetary policy shifts. Successful navigation of this environment will require careful attention to both technical and fundamental factors as the market searches for a new equilibrium.

BINANCE SURVEY: #memecoin🚀🚀🚀 HOLDERS OUTNUMBER BITCOIN HOLDERS
On December 19, Binance released the results of its latest user survey, revealing that the number of meme coin holders has surpassed that of Bitcoin holders among cryptocurrency owners.
The survey, part of Binance’s “Global User Survey,” was conducted on over 27,000 users across Asia, Australia, Europe, Africa, and Latin America. The survey found that 16% of respondents held meme coins, making them the most held cryptocurrency, while 14.44% held Bitcoin.
Analysis:
The rising popularity of meme coins appears closely connected to market sentiment and speculative interest. Many investors’ involvement in meme coins stems primarily from potential short-term market movements and social factors, rather than technological fundamentals.
For instance, Dogecoin’s prominence has been significantly influenced by social media trends and high-profile endorsements.
For market participants, these assets can present opportunities during periods of strong market momentum, particularly in bull markets or during rapid price movements. However, investors focused on long-term value creation may find greater alignment with assets that demonstrate stronger fundamental characteristics, such as Bitcoin.

Fed drops rates 25 basis points as crypto market loses more
Fed drops rates by 25 basis points as economists forecast fewer cuts in 2025 and crypto market falls amid de-risking before Trump's administration.
The Fed cut its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points despite conflicting economic signs.
Ethereum and Solana lost more than Bitcoin, which fell 4%.
Share this content.
The Federal Reserve reduced its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points to 4.25%-4.5% amid conflicting economic data.
The rate is a full percentage point lower than in September, when authorities started lowering rates.
GDP growth is expected to reach 2.5% in 2024 and fall to 2.0% by 2027, according to the Federal Reserve.
Unemployment is forecast to grow to 4.3% in 2025, while PCE index inflation is projected at 2.4% for 2024 and 2.5% for 2025, over the Fed's 2% objective.
Crypto traders lowered risk exposure before the Fed statement, causing widespread falls.
Bitcoin fell 4% from its annual top of almost $108,000 yesterday, bringing the crypto market down 5% in 24 hours.
Ethereum fell 5% and Solana 6% from their weekly highs of $4,100 and $230, respectively.
Analysts are waiting for President-elect Donald Trump's tariff and deportation proposals to be implemented before anticipating the Federal Reserve's next actions for the year.
Many economists expect just two rate decreases in 2025.
The “Trump trade” has occurred in the crypto market since Trump's November 6 election, with Bitcoin rising over 50% and certain altcoins over 200%.

🔻🔻Fed Chairman Powell was asked about Bitcoin: Are those words the reason for the decline?‼️
The #US Federal Reserve (#FED ) was expected to cut interest rates by 25 basis points last night, and the Fed chairman was asked about $BTC at the press conference. It was noteworthy that the price fell by $100,000 after Powell's answer.
While Bitcoin fell below $100,000 overnight, one of the most talked about options was Jerome Powell's Bitcoin remarks. Donald Trump is offering Bitcoin reserves. Powell said, "The Fed does not have such a right or power. A law needs to be obtained from Congress, but we will not request a law."
Powell's words were perceived negatively by the markets. While Bitcoin fell sharply, it was seen at $98,000 overnight.
However, Powell's Bitcoin statement is not that negative. Because the Fed has no assets. In other words, the Fed does not hold gold and dollars. Therefore, it is not surprising that such a situation will occur for Bitcoin.
He spoke in the regions
As it will be remembered, Powell also made very important statements and Bitcoin rights in the past weeks. Responding to Bitcoin payments at an event he attended, the Fed chairman said, “Bitcoin is not a rival of the dollar, but of gold…”

🗣️ Fed Chair Jerome Powell:
• We remain focused on our two objectives. The labor market remains resilient.
• Economic activity has been expanding steadily.
• Inflation is closer to our 2% target.
• The labor market continues to be strong.
• Improving supply has supported U.S. economic performance.
• Today, we lowered the interest rate range and are moving toward a more neutral level.
• Risks to achieving our goals are roughly balanced.
• We may proceed more cautiously with rate cuts.
• We do not have a predetermined path for rates.
• Policy is now less restrictive than when rate cuts began.
• Policymakers' projections for rates next year are higher, consistent with high inflation.
• We believe the risks and uncertainties around inflation remain elevated. Reaching the 2% target could take another year or two.
Fed Chair Powell: A rate hike in 2025 seems unlikely.
