#数字资产市场动态 $PEPE $DOGEholders have recently been paying close attention to a major event—Fed Chair Powell is in trouble.

The situation is as follows: Republican Congressman French Hill revealed that a grand jury from the Department of Justice has issued a subpoena for Powell’s congressional testimony last June regarding the costs of renovating the Federal Reserve building, on charges of "perjury." If this is confirmed, Powell may have to miss the upcoming statutory semiannual congressional hearing in February.

How serious does this sound? The current Fed Chair missing a congressional hearing due to a criminal investigation—this has never happened before in Fed history. Congress is already in an uproar. Republican Senator Tom Tillis even issued a stern warning that all new Fed nominations will be obstructed until the investigation is resolved. Members of both parties have expressed "serious concern" over the Department of Justice’s actions, and the political atmosphere in Washington is growing more tense.

For traders, the most painful part is this: if Powell truly misses the event, the crucial policy window in February will be lost. The Fed’s policy signals are already prone to triggering market volatility; now, with this signal source potentially going offline, the market will have to guess in a fog of policy uncertainty—volatility risks will spike sharply. Historically, whenever a central bank’s key figures become embroiled in legal disputes, market pricing mechanisms tend to collapse.

The Fed spokesperson is also silent for now. Wall Street’s nerves are already on edge, and every piece of news could trigger a chain reaction. Let’s see how things unfold next.
