Will Fed Cut Rates in June? Inflation Fears Trigger BTC Rotation to New Memecoin

No cuts, no hikes—just more economic pain and investors are blaming it on President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, as crypto crashes, a new meme coin is making headway in the market.

The Fed’s May minutes show rates staying locked at 4.2% to 4.5%, reflecting unease beneath the surface. Inflation hasn’t gone anywhere, the labor market is still tight, and the economy’s slowing just enough to make everyone nervous.

Donald Trump’s Trainwreck Meeting With Jerome Powell This Week

On Thursday, Trump brought Fed Chair Jerome Powell into the West Wing for their first face-to-face since January and pressed him to slash interest rates. Powell didn’t budge.

According to the Fed’s official readout, decisions would be made “solely on careful, objective, and non-political analysis”—a not-so-subtle reminder of the central bank’s independence.

The White House didn’t dispute it. “Correct,” said spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt when asked about the Fed’s official statement.

Critics wasted no time labeling Trump “TACO”—Trump Always Chickening Out—accusing him of posturing online but backing down face-to-face. The same charge was leveled during his tariff standoff with China, where tough talk often fell short of follow-through.

Trump told Powell he’s making a mistake. Powell gave Trump his statement to which Trump said, “late Powell, you are correct.”

End of talks.

Market and Crypto Reactions, Time to Invest in a New Memecoin?

At May’s FOMC meeting, the Fed held rates at 4.5%, with Powell insisting there’s no need to flinch—yet. “

We are comfortable with our policy stance,” he said, though he acknowledged the toolkit is still in reach if things shift.

99Bitcoins analysts see the current numbers as a mixed bag. Inflation is stuck at 2.6%, above the Fed’s 2% comfort zone. Unemployment has crept up to 4.2%. and GDP is down 0.3% in Q1.

In an interview, former Dallas Fed President Robert Kaplan said that the decline may not reflect a true slowdown—but it’s enough to keep markets twitchy.

“The Fed’s current status is the right thing to do… It’s wise to remain patient.”

BTC Bull – Trending New Meme Coin ICO Featuring Free Bitcoin Airdrops

With Bitcoin’s next surge on deck, a new meme coin BTC Bull Token ($BTCBULL) is quietly positioning itself as more than hype. Built to reward—and shrink—it hands out BTC airdrops to holders and cuts supply every time Bitcoin breaks through a new ceiling.

The next target is $125,000. If hit, 15% of the token’s total supply gets wiped from circulation.

If Bitcoin hits $150K or $200K, expect more BTC airdrops for token holders. And at the big $250K milestone, the project plans to drop 10% of its entire supply straight into the hands of the $BTCBULL community.

With over $6.5 million already raised in its presale and staking yields pushing 63% APY, the hype isn’t just noise—it’s backed by serious momentum. Tokens are currently priced at $0.002535.
