“The price of crypto asset can go up. They can also go down. If you don’t like it, don’t invest.”: Christopher Waller (Fed Governor) ⚠️📉

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller warned that regulatory uncertainty is cooling crypto euphoria and has affected big investors, which is reducing demand for digital assets. He said growing links between crypto firms and traditional finance means problems in one area can quickly affect the other. 🏦🔗

Waller noted that many financial institutions increased crypto exposure after the Trump administration, but later pulled back when Congress failed to pass clear rules. That shift helped trigger recent selling pressure across the crypto market. 📉

On price movements, Waller called the volatility as “normal.” $BTC price fell from October peaks near $126,000 to lows around $60,000 and now $BTC trades near $68,000 — a reminder that gains and losses can be swift. $BTC price swings show why investors must manage risk carefully. 💥🪙

Looking ahead, Waller said the Fed will offer special payment accounts in 2026 to give fintech and crypto firms limited, supervised access to central bank services. This accounts will have restrictions (no interest, balance limit) and aim to improve regulatory coordination. This step was welcomed by crypto firms but met with caution by traditional banks. 🏦🔒

Why it matters: regulatory clarity and Fed’s 2026 plans could reshape where capital flows and how safe crypto becomes for big investors. Watch for Fed's policy moves and reactions of crypto industry to predict the market’s next direction. 👀
