Chicago Fed President Austan Goolsbee has voiced serious concerns over President Donald Trump's recent remarks about removing Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. What Happened: Trump's comments, made following <a href="https://fortune.com/2025/04/16/jerome-powell-tariffs-inflation-economy/">Powell's speech</a> at the Economic Club of Chicago, reignited a long-standing debate over the President's power to remove Federal Reserve leaders.
Goolsbee warned that such an action could severely undermine the credibility of the U.S. central bank, with far-reaching consequences for economic stability, as reported <a href="https://fortune.com/article/chicago-fed-president-austan-goolsbee-trump-terminate-jerome-powell-undermine-fed-credibility/">by</a> Fortune on Monday.
Trump has repeatedly criticized Powell for not cutting interest rates quickly enough in response to economic conditions, particularly following his controversial tariff policies.
Powell has argued that the tariff increases announced by Trump have significantly impacted inflation and economic growth, which led to his warnings.
Trump has blamed Powell for not acting swiftly enough to ease interest rates, which he believes are necessary to counter the negative economic effects of his policies.

This conflict has drawn attention. Goolsbee, echoing the concerns of many economists, cautioned that removing Powell could set a dangerous precedent that could erode trust in the Fed.
"I strongly hope that we do not move ourselves into an environment where monetary independence is questioned," Goolsbee stated, highlighting the importance of keeping the Federal Reserve free from political influence.
Why It Matters: Trump&#8217;s criticism of Powell and his intention to terminate him have been a topic of concern for some time. Trump <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/44861571/donald-trump-blasts-too-late-and-wrong-fed-chair-powell-but-polymarket-traders-doubt-his-termination-will-come-fast-enough">lashed out at Powell</a> for the Federal Reserve&#8217;s reluctance to cut interest rates.

Investment strategists have also&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/04/44882256/trumps-threat-to-fire-powell-could-shake-us-financial-markets">warned</a>&nbsp;that Trump&#8217;s potential attempt to dismiss Powell could rattle U.S. financial markets and undermine central bank independence. Furthermore,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/04/44888232/trumps-top-economic-adviser-kevin-hassett-says-white-house-is-exploring-options-to-fire-fed-chair-jerome-powell-the-president-and-his-team-will-continue-to-study">White House National Economic Council chair Kevin Hassett</a>&nbsp;confirmed that the Trump administration is exploring ways to remove Powell, adding to the uncertainty.

Ethereum (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/eth/usd">ETH</a>) co-founder&nbsp;Vitalik Buterin&nbsp;proposed a long-term solution Sunday to improve the scalability and efficiency of the network&#8217;s execution layer, one that handles smart contracts and transactions.
What Happened: In a blog post, Buterin <a href="https://ethereum-magicians.org/t/long-term-l1-execution-layer-proposal-replace-the-evm-with-risc-v/23617">suggested </a>replacing the&nbsp;Ethereum Virtual Machine contract&nbsp;language with the open-source RISC-V instruction&nbsp;set architecture. This, he argued, would address long-term scaling bottlenecks like keeping block production competitive and enhancing the efficiency of zero-knowledge EVM proving—a vital feature that enables off-chain computation and verification of transactions.
Buterin theorized that implementing the said proposal could, in limited cases, generate efficiency gains of over 100x.

Why It Matters: Buterin&#8217;s proposal comes at a time when the Ethereum base layer was battling a sharp dip in transaction activity and fees.
According to Etherscan, ETH&#8217;s average transaction fees have <a href="https://etherscan.io/chart/avg-txfee-usd">slipped </a>to levels not seen since May 2020. Typically, this happens due to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/ethereum-gas-fees">low network demand</a>. 
Since a portion of the transaction fees is burned to add deflationary pressure to ETH, the drop in fees resulted in a lower number of ETH removed from circulation and, subsequently, inflation, <a href="https://ultrasound.money/?timeFrame=since_merge">according </a>to Ultrasound Money.
Analysts interviewed by Benzinga attributed this to the rise of Layer-2 blockchains and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/03/37667987/ethereum-dencun-upgrade-drops-layer-2-fees-by-99">Dencun Upgrade</a>, which significantly reduced transaction costs on L2s. This resulted in on-chain activity being diverted away from the Ethereum foundation chain.
Price Action: At the time of writing, Ethereum was exchanging hands at $1,644.66, up 3.28% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;Year-to-date, the coin has plunged more than 50%.

Aclarion, Inc., ("Aclarion" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ACON#NASDAQ">ACON</a>, ACONW)),&nbsp;a healthcare technology company that is leveraging biomarkers and proprietary augmented intelligence (AI) algorithms to help physicians identify the location of chronic low back pain, announced today the publication of a peer-reviewed article in Clinicoeconomics and Outcomes Research titled "The Comparison of Cost-Effectiveness Between Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy and Provocative Discography in the Identification of Chronic Low Back Pain Surgery Candidates."
"Chronic low back pain is a complex problem that is complicated to diagnose," said Doug Beall, MD, Chief of Radiology Services, Clinical Radiology of Oklahoma and co-author.&nbsp;"I have a keen interest in advanced diagnostics and clinical decision support tools like Nociscan. The profound conclusions within this important paper will not only benefit surgical intervention, but also my non-surgical colleagues in Pain Management and Interventional Radiology. Our industry needs more evidence showcasing clinical and economic improvements when comparing alternatives, and our paper clearly illustrates the cost-effectiveness of Nociscan compared to provocative discography."
ClinicoEconomics and Outcomes Research&nbsp;is a&nbsp;peer-reviewed&nbsp;healthcare journal&nbsp;focusing on covering the economic impact of health policy and health systems organization. The journal was established in 2009 and is published by&nbsp;Dove Medical Press.
"We are pleased with the cost-effectiveness results illustrated in this important paper," said Ryan Bond, Chief Strategy Officer at Aclarion. "We believe the results demonstrating Nociscan's economic outperformance over provocative discography will be important to our physician customers and their patients, but will also speak clearly to the payer community, who are constantly challenged to reconcile the health outcomes achieved for the dollars they spend, in other words, the value in healthcare."
Chronic low back pain (cLBP) is a global healthcare problem with approximately 266 million people worldwide suffering from degenerative spine disease and low back pain. Aclarion's Nociscan solution is the first evidence-supported SaaS platform to noninvasively help physicians distinguish between painful and nonpainful discs in the lumbar spine. Nociscan objectively quantifies chemical biomarkers demonstrated to be associated with disc pain. When used with other diagnostic tools, Nociscan provides critical insights into the location of a patient's low back pain.
