 former US Treasury Secretary Yellen wrote in response to the controversy caused by Trump's dismissal of Federal Reserve Board member Powell: Trump claimed to "dismiss" Powell with "just cause", this move is not only illegal, but also extremely dangerous. This is a direct attempt to politicize the Federal Reserve, it is intimidation of its leadership, and an attempt to force monetary policy to conform to the will of the president. This move could end the independence of the Federal Reserve - and what will follow is the collapse of the credibility of US monetary policy at home and abroad. Yellen called on Congress to defend the independence of the Federal Reserve, the courts must reject this illegal abuse of power, and the financial sector must also speak out against this direct attack on the credibility of the US dollar.

Lee Chang-yong, the Governor of the Bank of Korea (central bank), stated, "If a stablecoin linked to the Korean won is introduced hastily, I would be very concerned about exchange rate fluctuations in the foreign exchange market and capital outflow issues." Governor Lee pointed out during a National Assembly Planning and Finance Committee audit, "Many people may take the stablecoin linked to the Korean won overseas, which is indeed worrisome." He also emphasized, "It is important to first conduct pilot projects with banks at the core, and then gradually expand the scope of promotion after achieving good control over capital outflows." He reiterated his concerns, stating, "From the perspective of the authorities responsible for foreign exchange management, this issue is of great concern. If a stablecoin linked to the Korean won is introduced, there is a high possibility of bypassing foreign exchange controls." In response to the opinion expressed by Democratic Party of Korea lawmaker Ahn Dae-je, who supports the introduction of a stablecoin linked to the Korean won, Governor Lee clearly expressed a different stance, saying "My opinion is completely different from yours." At the same time, he pointed out, "I do not believe that introducing a stablecoin linked to the Korean won will reduce the demand for stablecoins linked to the US dollar, as those who want to convert their assets into dollars will still choose to use stablecoins linked to the US dollar." He also added, "Although it may be premature to think that stablecoins linked to the US dollar will dominate the Korean won payment market, due to the significant increase in their future usage, further efforts are needed to improve related regulatory measures."
