Fed Chair Powell recently shared an interesting perspective—defining Bitcoin directly as "digital gold." When such words come from an official figure, they carry significant weight.

Do you think this means that traditional financial systems are warming up to digital assets? #数字资产市场动态 Is it time for some action? The market has been waiting for signals like this—especially a shift in attitude from the Federal Reserve.

Since last year, we've seen more and more mainstream voices start to reevaluate the crypto market. Powell's statement is less of a news headline and more a reflection of market sentiment. What does the positioning of digital gold imply? Stable value storage, hedging assets, long-term preservation—these logical chains have been in place for a while; now they are being officially confirmed.

How the market moves will still depend on future policies and the reactions of market participants. But at least the signal direction is clear.

Powell should have said this a long time ago. BTC is essentially digital gold, and the official announcement is a bit late now. HODLers have already won; those who enter now will have to wait for a rally. "Digital gold" is just an official label; the actual logic has been clear to us for a long time. The real issue now isn't whether it's recognized or not, but when the Federal Reserve will truly let the dollar depreciate... that's when the showtime will begin. I'm just worried this is another slogan, and the policies won't keep up later. Anyway, I won't sell; I'm waiting to see who panics next. What kind of clear signal is that? The only clear thing is that regulation hasn't been fully relaxed. They talk nicely, but how long will it really take to implement?

Powell's words sound good, but don't rush to go all in. The Fed's stance can change at any time. --- The label "Digital Gold"... has been around for a while, and it's a bit late for an official announcement now. --- The real turning point isn't in the rhetoric; it depends on whether the US will truly loosen institutional allocations. --- Don't just focus on signals. Remember how the market reacted after the Fed's attitude shifted last time? --- Isn't this the official recognition of the beginning? Institutional funds are about to move. --- It sounds good, but is there any substantial breakthrough at the policy level? Verbal acknowledgment ≠ real approval. --- This time feels different. Hearing "Digital Gold" from the central bank's mouth is a sign of a major trend. --- Honestly, mainstream recognition is just the appetizer. The core still depends on how the SEC and OCC follow up.

Powell calls it "digital gold," but I'm still waiting to see the Federal Reserve's real actions. Verbal approval and actual wallet commitments are two different things.

Powell's words are not wrong, but whether it will rise sharply depends on what the Federal Reserve does next... Merely verbal approval is useless. I just want to know if this is paving the way for a certain policy? Feels very套路满满 (full of tricks). The positioning of digital gold is indeed recognized, but the market reaction... let's wait and see, don't be too optimistic. Honestly, this signal comes a bit late; we've already been treating BTC as gold for a while. Now that it's officially announced... okay. Is this really different this time, or is it just another round of hype? Let's wait for the end-of-year data.
