🚨JUST IN: U.S. Senate officially confirms Kevin Warsh as Chair of the Federal Reserve in a 4-year term.

#kevin #Fed
🚨 BREAKING: Crypto markets are entering a high-stakes moment after Kevin Warsh was officially confirmed by the Senate as the new Federal Reserve chair, stepping into office as inflation pressures begin accelerating again. At the same time, Bitcoin is trading near $79,300 — directly at its 200-day moving average, a level that analysts at CryptoQuant warn has historically acted as a major ceiling during bear market rallies. Today’s CLARITY Act markup could become another major catalyst for the industry, with traders closely watching how U.S. lawmakers approach crypto market structure, stablecoin oversight, and regulatory authority. Despite all these developments, Bitcoin options volatility is sitting near historic lows — a compressed setup that rarely remains quiet for long when macro, regulatory, and derivatives catalysts converge simultaneously. Meanwhile: • U.S. jobless claims rose above expectations to 211,000 • Solana perpetual trading volume surged to a 31-week high • Crypto derivatives markets are signaling extreme positioning tension The market now appears to be approaching a potential breakout moment, with volatility expected to return aggressively if momentum shifts in either direction. #kevin

Today’s CLARITY Act markup could become another major catalyst for the industry, with traders closely watching how U.S. lawmakers approach crypto market structure, stablecoin oversight, and regulatory authority.

Despite all these developments, Bitcoin options volatility is sitting near historic lows — a compressed setup that rarely remains quiet for long when macro, regulatory, and derivatives catalysts converge simultaneously.

Meanwhile:

• U.S. jobless claims rose above expectations to 211,000
• Solana perpetual trading volume surged to a 31-week high
• Crypto derivatives markets are signaling extreme positioning tension

The market now appears to be approaching a potential breakout moment, with volatility expected to return aggressively if momentum shifts in either direction.

🚨 THIS IS GETTING UGLY US

The worst possible welcome gift for a new Fed Chair.

📈 CPI rises to 3.8% — highest in 3 years
📈 Core CPI hits 2.8% — highest in 8 months

Both Trump and Warsh pushed for rate cuts but inflation may have just killed that idea.

💥 Rate cut odds collapse below 3%
⚠️ Rate hike odds jump above 35%

If the Fed is forced to hike again to fight inflation, markets could face serious pressure. 👀

Powell ends his final press conference 🚨 “Thank you very much, everyone. I won’t see you next time,” Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday as he put his glasses in his suit pocket and walked out of his final press conference as head of the central bank. There was brief applause from reporters as Powell exited, which he did swiftly, as usual, with no lingering. This was Powell’s 66th press conference since he assumed the role in 2018. Two of those were emergency meetings held during the pandemic. During his eight years at the helm, the Fed’s rate-setting committee has raised the central bank’s key overnight lending rate 15 times and lowered it 11 times, according to Fed data. Powell had little to say about how he wants to go down in history books. “I’m just going to say that’s for someone else to say,” he told reporters. Fed policymakers are scheduled to convene for their next meeting on June 16-17, with Kevin Warsh all but assured to be at the head of the table — and Powell also present. $SOLV | $AI | $NOM #BREAKING #Powell #Fed #Polymarket #kevin

MASSIVE UPDATE 🇺🇸 Kevin Hassett Now Seen as Trump’s Leading Choice for the Next Fed Chair A major shift is taking shape in U.S. economic circles. Kevin Hassett, a well-known economist and former White House adviser, is rising as the strongest contender to replace Jerome Powell. What makes this important is Hassett’s long record of focusing on growth, jobs, and data-driven policy. His possible appointment signals a turn toward a more proactive economic strategy, especially at a time when markets are watching every move from Washington. If selected, Hassett would step into a period of delicate decisions — balancing inflation pressures, employment needs, and the overall pace of the economy. This moment could set the direction for the next phase of U.S. financial policy. #BNBATH #Write2Earrn #Fed #kevin #BREAKING

Kevin Day's Tragic Story, Owned 259,684 BTC but...One day in June 2011, Kevin Day, a video game developer from Nebraska, experienced an event that would forever be etched in Bitcoin history. He was a man on the verge of becoming a cryptocurrency billionaire but lost everything in one of the most controversial incidents in the cryptocurrency world. Kevin Day, a man who came of age in the 1990s, was known as a tech-savvy "geek". He had a successful career as a game developer, contributing to popular games like Mortal Kombat 4 and NBA Showtime. Afterward, he founded his own startup and moved into web hosting, a step that eventually led him to Bitcoin. In 2011, Bitcoin began to gain traction. Its price had already risen from $0.3 to $7. Kevin, curious at the time, became obsessed with trying to mine Bitcoin. However, the truly life-changing event occurred on June 19, 2011, a day he would remember for the rest of his life. Tentu, ini terjemahannya ke dalam bahasa Inggris: 🔷 A Bold Decision in the Midst of Market Panic. On that day, the price of Bitcoin plummeted dramatically. From $17, Bitcoin crashed to just $0.01 within 20 minutes. Panic gripped the market, but not Kevin. While many were scared and selling their Bitcoins, Kevin saw this as a golden opportunity. He placed a $3,000 buy order for Bitcoin at $0.0101 per coin. Shortly after, Kevin's trade was executed. With a small investment, he managed to acquire 259,684 BTC. When the price of Bitcoin recovered to its previous level, his profit soared by 166,000%. At that time, he had already made a significant profit of around $5 million. However, if he had held onto it until today, his portfolio would have been worth a fantastic $27.4 billion. But that's where the story takes a tragic turn. 🔷 My.gox does a rollback. Kevin stores all his Bitcoins in mt.Gox, once the largest cryptocurrency exchange, wasn't just caught in the crossfire of Bitcoin's price crash. It was the epicenter of a massive hack. A hacker stole a colossal amount of Bitcoin and dumped it on the market, creating chaos. In response, Mt.Gox decided to perform a "rollback." All trades made after the hack, including Kevin's Bitcoin purchases, were reversed. This decision drastically reduced the assets in Kevin's wallet. From an expected 260,000 BTC, he could only withdraw 643 BTC, the maximum allowed by the exchange at that time. 🔷 Accusations and Moral Dilemmas. The rollback sparked outrage within the Bitcoin community. Kevin, convinced his trades were legitimate, went public to defend himself. He even appeared on a Bitcoin-themed TV show to share his story. However, public opinion wasn't entirely on his side. Many suspected Kevin was the hacker behind the incident. Wild accusations surfaced, branding him a "thief" who profited from the chaos. Others defended him as a "hero" for speaking out against the injustice. Kevin consulted with a lawyer who advised him to sue Mt.Gox. But, amidst his turmoil, he chose not to proceed. Why? Kevin didn't want to cripple the still-fragile Bitcoin economy. For him, Bitcoin's survival was more important than his personal gains. 🔷 Kevin Day's Bitter Lesson. Kevin Day's story isn't just about financial loss; it's a stark warning for crypto holders. His experience teaches a fundamental lesson: "Never keep all your coins on an exchange." Crypto exchanges, while convenient, don't grant full ownership to their users. Mt.Gox ultimately did what it deemed best to save itself, even at the expense of its users. Kevin lost 259,360 BTC, and his dreams of becoming a billionaire vanished. Today, Kevin Day's story remains one of the most heartbreaking tragedies in Bitcoin history.
