US Supreme Court Limits Presidential Authority Over Federal Reserve in Landmark Ruling

The US Supreme Court delivered a decisive 6-3 ruling that explicitly shields Federal Reserve officials from presidential removal, drawing a sharp legal distinction between the Fed and other federal boards. While the decision permits President TRUMP to dismiss members of the National Labor Relations Board and Merit Systems Protection Board, it reinforces statutory protections for Fed governors who can only be removed "for cause."

The ruling underscores the Federal Reserve’s unique insulation from political interference—a structural safeguard designed to maintain monetary policy independence. This legal reinforcement comes at a critical juncture for financial markets, as central bank autonomy directly impacts investor confidence in USD-denominated assets including cryptocurrencies.
