Besides, it\u2019s costly, complex, and intrusive.<\/p>\n<h2>SEC Out, CFTC In?<\/h2>\n<p>Powell now serves his second term as the Fed Chair. Trump initially appointed Powell in 2017, and, despite disagreements on interest rate cuts, Joe Biden reappointed him in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Powell\u2019s current term will end in May 2026, but he may legally serve until 2031, assuming he maintains the President\u2019s favor.<\/p>\n<p>To top it all, Trump\u2019s pick for Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) leadership is Brian Quintenz, a known crypto advocate.<\/p>\n<p>Quintenz already served one term during Trump\u2019s first presidency and is unlikely to dispute the chief\u2019s orders. Their fellowship is particularly beneficial for the industry now that Trump plans to transfer crypto overweight from the hostile SEC to CFTC.<\/p>\n<h2>Will Bitcoin Reach $250K? $BTCBULL Is Positive<\/h2>\n<p>A temporary ban on CBDCs and open government support for crypto could drive adoption to unprecedented heights.<\/p>\n<p>The effect would be most pronounced on Bitcoin ($BTC), the OG cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n<p>Analysts have been setting ambitious targets for $BTC in 2025, some as high as $250K.<\/p>\n<p>Although $BTC has been struggling to break above $100K lately, the situation might soon change as bulls paw the ground in anticipation of a new rally.<\/p>\n<p>But $BTC HODLers won\u2019t be the only ones to generate massive returns when this happens. <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/visit\/bitcoinbull\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Bitcoin Bull ($BTCBULL)<\/a> celebrates the first crypto\u2019s $150K, $200K, and $250K price milestones with $BTC airdrops for its community.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-393591\" src=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-10-50-38-BTC-Bull-Token-The-Best-Crypto-Presale-For-Bitcoin-Bulls.png?w=634&amp;resize=700%2C464\" alt=\"Bitcoin Bull altcoin presale\" width=\"700\" height=\"464\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-10-50-38-BTC-Bull-Token-The-Best-Crypto-Presale-For-Bitcoin-Bulls.png?w=939 939w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-10-50-38-BTC-Bull-Token-The-Best-Crypto-Presale-For-Bitcoin-Bulls.png?w=634 634w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-10-50-38-BTC-Bull-Token-The-Best-Crypto-Presale-For-Bitcoin-Bulls.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Screenshot-2025-02-11-at-10-50-38-BTC-Bull-Token-The-Best-Crypto-Presale-For-Bitcoin-Bulls.png?w=750 750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\"><\/p>\n<p>The project partnered with the <a href=\"https:\/\/bitcoinist.com\/visit\/bestwalletapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener \">Best Wallet app<\/a> to make airdrops seamless.
