Fed Chairman’s Comments Triggered Panic Selling
While many seasoned investors view this market dip as an opportunity to accumulate assets at lower prices, others fear it signals the end of the bull market. However, analysts largely attribute the recent downturn to a statement by Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell, who declared that the Fed is prohibited from owning Bitcoin. This announcement, according to analysts, triggered widespread panic selling as investors interpreted it as a bearish signal, fearing a bleak future for Bitcoin.

Contrary to this perception, analysts argue that the US government’s eventual adoption of Bitcoin is inevitable. They point to the strategic accumulation of Bitcoin by other countries as a significant factor, emphasizing that the US will likely establish a strategic Bitcoin reserve to maintain its global economic competitiveness.
