Trump has been criticizing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell over the past year, demanding a rate cut to 1%, but the latest data contradicts this: US Q3 GDP grew at an annualized rate of 4.3%, far exceeding expectations, and inflation has risen to 2.8%. The economy is not only avoiding recession but also showing signs of overheating. If rates were cut aggressively as Trump wishes, inflation would likely spiral out of control.

This game of chess between the president and the central bank governors exposes a serious issue: the uncertainty in high-level economic policies and political power struggles make it difficult for ordinary people to find clear directions for wealth allocation. Currently, macroeconomics is shifting from an era of “predictable rules” to an era influenced by narratives and power struggles. Traditional investment logic relying on central bank policies and government fiscal measures is no longer effective.

Against this backdrop, the new paradigm represented by blockchain and cryptocurrencies aims to provide solutions with “super-sovereign stability” and “absolute transparency of rules,” such as decentralized stablecoins like USDD. They shift trust from “human decision-making” to “coded rules,” operating through open-source smart contracts and on-chain verifiable over-collateralized reserves, immune to political cycle interference; value anchoring is not based on artificially adjusted inflation targets but on diversified on-chain asset portfolios and automatic market supply and demand regulation.

For investors, as the tension in traditional economic governance frameworks increases, allocating part of their assets to these “rule-based trust” assets that do not rely on a single centralized authority is no longer an option but a necessity.
