This is a call to confront the growing disconnect between the Fed’s original design and the complex, hyper interconnected, and geopolitically weaponized financial system it now presides over. In 2025, that misalignment is no longer academic, it’s structural, and it’s visible to anyone paying attention. The Federal Reserve was built for a domestic banking economy. It was never meant to be the central node of a globalized, dollar leveraged empire. Yet today, its decisions ripple through FX swaps in South Korea, sovereign funding in Italy, energy financing in the Gulf, and collateral markets in Tokyo. The models it uses were written in a world of stable multipliers and bank reserves. But the reality it faces is one of real time capital flows, shadow banking volatility, algorithmic market reactions, and rising sovereign debt burdens that defy traditional monetary control. Bessent understands that Powell’s policy posture, particularly the prolonged high-rate stance, isn’t just about inflation anymore. It’s about defending the geopolitical function of the dollar, preserving capital inflows, and reasserting U.S. financial hegemony in a world where BRICS+ and digital alternatives are accelerating. Keeping rates high may now serve more to maintain global demand for Treasuries and reprice foreign liquidity risk than to suppress domestic wage pressures. That quiet repurposing of monetary policy, from macroeconomic management to geopolitical leverage, marks a pivotal evolution in what central banks are being used for. But that shift also reveals the core of Bessent’s concern: the Fed’s mandate is outdated for what it has become. It still operates as if it is managing a national economy, when in practice it is acting as a geopolitical actor, a market stabilizer, and an indirect enforcer of U.S. strategic priorities. And it’s doing so with tools that are reactive, analog, and institutionally constrained. It lacks the agility, transparency, and architecture to navigate this new terrain. What replaces it likely won’t be a single central bank, but a modular system of distributed digital currencies, programmable liquidity flows, AI-coordinated clearing mechanisms, and transnational regulatory scaffolding. We’re already seeing the prototypes emerge, wholesale CBDCs, BIS interoperability projects, tokenized sovereign debt markets, and algorithmic monetary policy layers. In this coming order, monetary sovereignty won’t reside in a building in D.C., it will be embedded in code, flows, and infrastructure. Powell, then, is not the problem, he’s the final administrator of a system that no longer fits its world. Bessent’s warning is simple: we can no longer afford to treat monetary governance as a neutral, technocratic affair. The Fed is now a political, geopolitical, and institutional force caught between the world it was built for and the one that has already arrived. To preserve stability, legitimacy, and adaptability, the institution must be examined, not for what it was, but for what it must now become.
