On April 15, U.S. President Trump stated in an interview with Fox that if Federal Reserve Chairman Powell does not resign in a timely manner, he will be fired. He added that he would not abandon the Justice Department's investigation into Powell. Trump said, 'If he doesn't leave on time, I have to fire him. I've been holding back from firing him. I want to fire him, but I hate causing controversy. I hope there is no controversy. But he will be fired.' Powell's term as Fed Chairman will end in May, but his term as a governor lasts until 2028. Powell previously stated that if a successor is not confirmed before May, he will serve as interim chairman. Trump's allies had hoped Powell would also resign from his governor position at that time, but Powell indicated he has no intention of resigning until the Justice Department's investigation into a renovation project is 'truly and thoroughly concluded.' Trump hinted that there are no plans to conclude the investigation, stating, 'We must get to the bottom of this.' Additionally, U.S. Treasury Secretary Basant recently expressed uncertainty about whether Wash will be confirmed before May 16, hoping that efforts will be made to ensure Wash's entry into the Fed in May. According to PolyBeats monitoring, the probability of 'Wash being officially confirmed as Fed Chairman before May 15' on the prediction market Polymarket is 43%.

U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren recently expressed concerns about Elon Musk's payment platform X Money, which is set to launch in April. She stated that it could pose risks to consumer protection, national security, and the stability of the financial system. Warren pointed out that after acquiring and reshaping X, Musk is pushing it to become a 'super app' that covers 'all aspects of users' financial lives,' potentially replacing traditional banking systems. She questioned the platform's performance in terms of security and content governance, arguing that this undermines its credibility in entering the consumer finance sector. Additionally, Warren criticized the current regulatory environment for becoming more lenient, including the 'GENIUS Act' promoted by the Trump administration, which provides a 'special pathway' for private companies to issue stablecoins, potentially weakening necessary regulatory constraints.
