A Florida Congresswoman's post on X has moved the market for bettors looking to speculate on the firing of Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell. Anna Paulina Luna (R- Florida) claimed on the social media site that Powell's firing was 'imminent', but provided no further details, moving the 'yes' side of a related contract on Polymarket by 4 % up to 27%. Luna does not serve on the House Financial Services Committee , which oversees the Federal Reserve. The Florida 13th district representative serves on the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and Natural Resources Committee, and is a member of the House Freedom Caucus and Congressional Second Amendment Caucus.

Bitcoin, Stocks Hit By $400B Liquidity Drain From U.S. Treasury Account, Not Jackson Hole: Analysts

-
Move over Jackson Hole and inflation fears. The real driver behind the recent swoon in crypto and stock markets is likely the impending liquidity drain stemming from the U.S. government’s Treasury General Account (TGA), a checking account held at the Federal Reserve that is poised for a significant buildup. Bitcoin (BTC) has declined by over 8% to $113,500 since hitting record highs above $124,000 last Thursday, according to CoinDesk data. Prices for other major tokens such as ether (ETH), XRP (XRP), and solana's SOL (SOL) have also corrected, dragging the broader market lower. The CoinDesk 80 Index has dropped 13% since last Thursday. The bullish momentum has also weakened on Wall Street, where the tech-heavy Nasdaq index fell by nearly 1.40% to $23,384 on Tuesday, having hit a record high of $23,969 a week ago. Most market commentary has attributed the losses on Wall Street and in crypto markets to investor de-risking ahead of Federal Reserve (Fed) Chair Jerome Powell’s sched...
