A recent piece of news has been spreading in the crypto community—a Supreme Court ruling may grant the President the power to replace Federal Reserve Board members. What does this mean? The Fed, which has long been considered an “independent institution,” might see its independence diminished.

If policy-making starts to be influenced more by political factors, the rules of the market game could change. In the past, the Fed’s decisions on raising or lowering interest rates were mainly based on economic data. Now? Political winds might also have to be considered. Once this uncertainty is amplified, traditional financial markets will experience increased volatility. As capital looks for new avenues, decentralized assets like Bitcoin could actually benefit.

For ordinary investors, this presents both risks and opportunities.

First, pay attention to two directions: how the policy is specifically implemented, and where the capital will flow. Those who can interpret the signals in advance may be able to take the initiative. But this doesn’t mean you should blindly follow the crowd—when the market is chaotic, it’s even more important to stay calm. When others panic, it might be the time to seize opportunities; when others are greedy, it may be time to consider the risks.

More importantly, no matter how the external environment changes, investors should have their own standards for judgment. Policies will influence the market, but they shouldn’t completely dictate your decisions. Clearly calculate the risks and returns, understand your own risk tolerance—this is more crucial than chasing the next hot trend.

This round of changes will test everyone’s ability to think independently. Those who can stay clear-headed amid volatility are often the ultimate winners.
