Jerome Powell's second four-year term as U.S. Federal Reserve chair ended on May 15, but he will remain on the Fed's Board of Governors until 2028. Powell faced political pressure from President Trump over interest rate policies, but maintained a data-driven approach that influenced global markets. The new Fed chair, Kevin Warsh, will take over amid ongoing inflation challenges and geopolitical tensions in West Asia, which could impact Bitcoin and the broader crypto market. Analysts from Coinbase warn that persistent inflation may limit crypto's upward momentum, with the next Fed rate decision expected in mid-June, likely signaling a pause amid inflation concerns.
