三步掌控美联储:揭秘特朗普重塑美国央行的清晰路线图

marsbitPublicado a 2025-08-26Actualizado a 2025-08-27

周二晚间,一条社交媒体帖子打破了华盛顿一个多世纪以来的政治默契。美国总统唐纳德·特朗普以他惯有的戏剧性方式,宣布了一个史无前例的决定:即刻解除美联储理事丽莎·库克(Lisa Cook)的职务。

利率

消息传出,全球金融市场应声而动。华尔街的交易屏幕上,美股期货转为下跌,黄金则作为避险资产闻风上涨。市场的反应并非针对一次简单的人事变动,而是源于一种更深层次的恐惧:这并非一次心血来潮的政治报复,而是一场旨在从根本上重塑美国央行的系统性计划的第一步——一个清晰的“三步走”路线图的正式开启。

这个计划的目标只有一个:将美联储的独立性彻底瓦解,把决定美元利率的权力牢牢掌握在白宫手中。

第一步:夺取理事会——从罢免库克开始

计划的第一步,也是最关键的一步,是在由七名成员组成的美联储理事会中,获得稳定的多数控制权。

美联储理事会是整个美联储体系的权力核心,而特朗普的布局早已开始。在他当前的任期内,他已经成功任命了两位理事。近期,随着前总统拜登任命的理事阿德里亚娜·库格勒(Adriana Kugler)提前辞职,特朗普迅速提名了他的经济顾问斯蒂芬·米兰(Stephen Miran)来填补这第三个席位。

利率

至此,特朗普距离控制理事会仅一步之遥。而罢免丽莎·库克,正是为了腾出这至关重要的第四个席位。一旦成功,特朗普将能够任命四名自己人,在七人理事会中占据多数,从而在理论上掌控美联储的所有重大决策。

当然,这一步的执行充满了法律风险。特朗普的解职理由——库克在加入美联储前的抵押贷款申请中涉嫌欺诈——被广泛视为一个政治借口。库克已迅速提起诉讼,一场围绕《联邦储备法》中“因故解职”条款的模糊性解释的法律大战已不可避免。这场官司极有可能直达最高法院,其判决将定义未来美国总统的权力边界。但在特朗普的剧本里,发起这场法律战本身,就是通往第一步目标必须走的路。


第二步:征服FOMC——釜底抽薪式的权力延伸

一旦完成了第一步,即控制了美联储理事会,特朗普的计划将迅速进入第二阶段:通过理事会,间接控制真正决定利率走向的联邦公开市场委员会(FOMC)。

FOMC是全球金融市场最关注的决策机构,由7名美联储理事和5名地区联储主席共同组成,共12个投票席位。表面上看,即便控制了全部7名理事,也无法完全主导FOMC。但“新美联储通讯社”、《华尔街日报》记者Nick Timiraos揭示了特朗普更深层次的策略。

根据法律,12家地区联储的主席由各自地区的董事会任命,但最终需要获得华盛顿的美联储理事会批准。Timiraos分析指出,如果特朗普在明年3月前成功控制了理事会,他的“多数派”便可以拒绝重新任命那些任期届满、且与白宫政策不同调的地区联储主席。

这是一种釜底抽薪式的权力延伸。通过否决地区联储主席的任命,一个被特朗普掌控的理事会能够逐步“清洗”FOMC中的独立声音,确保最终在利率决策会议上,白宫的意志能够畅通无阻。这将彻底打破自1913年美联储成立以来,保护其独立性的关键防火墙。


第三步:执行新政——打造一个“降息多数派”

完成了前两步的权力布局后,计划的最终目标便水到渠成:让美联储的货币政策完全服务于其政治议程,打造一个坚定的“降息多数派”。

特朗普的政策偏好从未掩饰。他在内阁会议上直言不讳:“人们现在支付的利率太高了。这是我们唯一的问题。”他渴望一个能够为他大幅降息的美联储,以此来刺激经济增长、提振房地产市场,并为他的政治议程创造一个繁荣的经济背景。

一个被完全掌控的美联储,将成为总统推行其经济政策最强大的工具。届时,利率的制定将不再主要依据通胀和就业等经济数据,而是更多地考虑白宫的短期政治需求。


历史的警钟与加密世界的“回响”

特朗普这套环环相扣的计划,之所以引发巨大的恐慌,是因为它触及了现代经济一个最核心的原则:中央银行的独立性。历史已经反复敲响警钟,从1970年代尼克松施压美联储导致的美国大通胀,到土耳其、阿根廷等国因央行独立性丧失而陷入的货币危机,教训惨痛。

而这场发生在2025年的权力对决,正在加密世界引发深刻的“回响”。比特币自诞生之日起,其核心叙事之一就是对中心化金融体系不信任的对冲。当中本聪在创世区块中嵌入银行濒临破产的报纸标题时,就奠定了其对抗脆弱中心化机构的基调。

如今,当世界储备货币的“守护者”——美联储——其独立性受到公然挑战时,比特币的价值主张显得尤为突出。加密世界的支持者认为,当货币政策可以因一位总统的政治需求而随时改变时,一种由代码规定、发行节奏固定、不受任何人控制的资产,其吸引力便会指数级增长。

更值得注意的是,特朗普对金融监管机构的重塑并非孤例。就在库克事件发酵的同时,美国商品期货交易委员会(CFTC)正经历高层离职潮,而特朗普一直致力于让支持加密货币的共和党领导人加入他的政府。这一系列动作,无论其初衷如何,都在客观上为加密行业带来了更友好的监管预期,同时也让传统金融体系的不确定性进一步凸显。

无论最终结果如何,这场风暴本身已经对美元和美国金融体系的信誉造成了损害。在一个全球多极化、技术日新月异的时代,每一次对传统金融体系稳定性的冲击,都可能在客观上推动人们去探索新的可能性。正如《华爾街日報》的警告言犹在耳:这个国家,终将为此感到后悔。而对于正在崛起的数字资产世界来说,这或许又是一个证明其存在价值的时刻。

In the Era of Agent Users, Where Does Crypto Value Flow?

Title: Who Makes Money from Agents? The rise of AI Agents as potential blockchain users raises a crucial question: if they become the next billion users, who will capture the value? Traditional crypto value capture theories—like "fat protocols" (where value accrues to the base layer) and "fat applications" (where value accrues to user-facing apps)—assume human users who value UX, brand, and convenience. Agents, however, operate differently: they interact via APIs, have no brand loyalty, and can switch services with near-zero cost. This shift could disrupt existing value flows. Applications might become "headless," offering their routing and infrastructure as APIs to Agents. Alternatively, Agents might bypass intermediaries entirely, allowing protocols to regain value capture ("fat protocols" reborn). A more extreme scenario is that Agents, being purely rational and cost-sensitive, could commoditize the entire stack, compressing margins toward marginal cost and turning crypto into a low-margin utility. However, Agents may not just amplify existing activities; they could enable entirely new ones—like continuous, sub-penny portfolio rebalancing, machine-to-machine commerce, and new market types only viable at automated speeds. This expands the economic pie rather than just redistributing it. Ultimately, the key question for builders is: what will make an Agent return to your service instead of a cheaper alternative? The answer may not be UX but factors like liquidity, latency, settlement guarantees, or a yet-unnamed business model. As humans and Agents will coexist as users, value capture may split: "fat apps" for human-facing services, and a new, evolving model for the Agent-dominated layer.

Base MCP, The Next Step for x402

Base has officially launched Base MCP, allowing users to connect their Base Account to AI Agents to perform actions like swaps, transfers, portfolio tracking, and transaction history queries through conversational commands. This move aligns with Base's strategic focus on AI, driven by the broader competition in the emerging Agent-to-Agent payment sector. The evolution of Agent payments has accelerated. In late 2024, the primary method involved insecure browser automation. By 2025, solutions like Coinbase's x402 (providing crypto wallets for Agents), Google's AP2, and Visa's token-based system emerged. x402 has since processed 176 million transactions totaling over $70 million, with a median value between $0.01 and $0.10. Stablecoins, particularly USDC, dominate these settlements due to their negligible transaction costs compared to traditional payment fees, which are prohibitive for micro-payments. Coinbase faces competition from Stripe, which has built a comparable infrastructure for Agent payments with its Tempo blockchain, Privy wallets, Bridge routing (acquired for $1.1B), and the recently launched MPP protocol. Both companies are now competing at the application layer. The core reason AI is central to Base's strategy is to expand the scenarios for Agent payments, ensuring more transactions occur on its network. By securing a dominant position and scale advantage in this nascent field, Coinbase aims to capture the future commercial potential of Agent-driven payments. The launch of Base MCP is thus a strategic step in this larger ambition.

Reframing Ethereum's Valuation: Why the Fee Model is Wrong, and the 'Treasury Logic' is the Future?

"Rethinking Ethereum's Value: The 'Vault Logic' Framework" Traditional valuation models incorrectly treat Ethereum as a company, valuing ETH based on transaction fees ("revenue"). This is flawed. Fees are network friction; a successful network aims to reduce them to zero. Ethereum's average fee has dropped from over $50 in 2021 to around $0.20 today, while transaction volume has tripled. Instead, view Ethereum as a digital vault securing ~$250 billion in on-chain assets (stablecoins, RWAs, L2 bridged funds, wBTC, etc.). Post-merge, Ethereum's security is directly purchased with its own asset: ETH. To attack the network, an attacker must acquire and control staked ETH. Therefore, the vault's security level is intrinsically tied to ETH's market value. Currently, the value of all staked ETH is only ~$72B, protecting ~$250B in assets—a dangerous imbalance. For robust security, the staked ETH securing the network should be valued significantly *higher* than the total value it protects. Applying a conservative security multiplier suggests ETH's fair value should be closer to ~$6,900 (vs. ~$2,070 currently). As on-chain asset value grows into the trillions, ETH's price must rise proportionally to maintain this security budget. Comparisons to free infrastructure like Linux or low-margin utilities like the DTCC are misguided. Their security is provided externally (community, law, banks). Ethereum's security is internal and must be purchased in the open market using ETH. ETH is not the clearinghouse; it is the collateral backing it. The model is not a short-term price predictor but a structural framework. The economic force for ETH appreciation grows monotonically with the adoption of Ethereum for settling value. The narrative that high fees are good is backwards; low fees enable more activity, which increases the value needing protection, thus demanding a more valuable ETH.

Samsung Leverages Technology Cycles, SK Hynix Relies on HBM, What Enabled Micron to Win a Trillion-Dollar Market Cap?

Micron Technology, the Idaho-based memory chip maker, recently saw its market cap surpass $1 trillion, securing its position as one of the top three DRAM manufacturers alongside Samsung and SK Hynix. Its survival and growth story is marked by a unique combination of political maneuvering and hard-won manufacturing efficiency, but also strategic missteps that now challenge its future. Founded in 1978 in Boise without significant government or capital backing, Micron repeatedly turned to Washington for survival during critical junctures. In the 1980s, it filed anti-dumping complaints against Japanese firms, leading to the U.S.-Japan Semiconductor Agreement. Ironically, this created an opening for Samsung, which Micron had earlier licensed its 64K DRAM technology to. In 2002, Micron avoided heavy fines in a price-fixing investigation by acting as a whistleblower against its competitors, cementing its reputation as a "political opportunist." A major strategic error occurred in 2013 with its $2.5 billion acquisition of bankrupt Japanese firm Elpida. This deal burdened Micron with integrating incompatible manufacturing processes just as the industry was pivoting toward HBM (High Bandwidth Memory), a critical technology for AI. SK Hynix had launched its first HBM chip that same year. By the time AI demand exploded with ChatGPT in 2022, SK Hynix commanded about 85% of the HBM3 market, while Micron, playing catch-up, held only around 3%. In 2017, Micron employed similar tactics against a new competitor, Chinese startup Fujian Jinhua, by alleging intellectual property theft, which led to U.S. sanctions effectively crippling the firm. However, this strategy backfired in 2023 when China banned Micron's products from its critical infrastructure, causing its revenue share from China to plummet from 14% in FY2023 to just 7.1% by FY2025. Today, Micron faces a triple squeeze: it lags in the high-margin HBM race, faces pricing pressure in low-end DRAM from Chinese manufacturers like CXMT, and has lost crucial access to the booming Chinese AI server market. Despite its political strategies, Micron's core strength is its exceptional manufacturing cost control, achieved through decades of engineering. Its DRAM chips have a smaller cell area than its rivals, yielding more chips per wafer. This efficiency has been vital for weathering industry downturns. However, this advantage cannot compensate for the decade lost in HBM development. Micron is now racing to ramp up production of its HBM3E, certified by NVIDIA, and develop HBM4. Its future hinges on whether it can close this technological "time debt" through relentless R&D and execution, in a marathon where its competitors, having started earlier, are not slowing down.
