Price frenzy in the shares and crypto market

Dogecoin has nothing with monetary policy
After the FED’s two day meeting, recently in a press conference, Brian Cheung from Yahoo Finance questioned Powell considering the price trends. Brian asked whether the price surges of assets like Dogecoin and GameStop’s shares are financial stability concerns from the FED’s perspective at this time.
The question mainly focused on the backdrop of low interest and easy monetary policies. Such issues are the reasons that sparked interest in speculative investments in DOGE and GameStop’s shares.
“Some of the asset prices are high. You are seeing things in the capital markets that are a bit frothy. That’s a fact,” Fed Chair Powell says in response to a question from @bcheungz. “The overall financial stability picture is mixed, but on balance it’s manageable.” pic.twitter.com/6ZbiFDIQmW

Following the question, Jerome replied that we could see the things in the capital market that are a bit frothy, which is a fact. Still, DOGE does have a few things with monetary policy. And also, the coin has a tremendous amount of connections with the vaccination and reopening of the economy.
Simultaneously, Powell highlighted that where the overall financial stability scene is entirely mixed up, still things are on balance. Hence, if the FED chairman highlighted such facts, it means that the situation is yet manageable.
