It opened at $381 a share, well above its $250 reference price. The company said it generated $1.8 billion in revenue for the first quarter amid wild price gains for bitcoin, ethereum and other crypto names.\nPowell’s predecessor at the Fed, Janet Yellen, is now Treasury secretary. In February,she told CNBC that she views bitcoin as “a highly speculative asset” and said it is not “widely used as a transmission mechanism” and is an “extremely inefficient way of conducting transactions.”\nAlong with a brief chat about crypto, the Powell interview encompassed a variety of subjects, much of it familiar ground for the Fed leader.\nOne revelation was that Powell has yet to meet with President Joe Biden.\nFed watchers have been speculating as to whether Biden will give Powell another term as chair when the current one expires in 2022. Asked in a CBS “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday on whether he wants another term, Powell demurred, saying he’s focused on “doing the best job I can.”\nPowell, who was appointed Fed chairman — and harshly criticized — by then-President Donald Trump, said he has had no contact with Biden since the latter became president nearly three months ago.\nAsked if he’s ever met Biden, Powell said, “I think I’ve shaken his hand, but I have not really met him and talked to him.”","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":347030362,"gmtCreate":1618448067556,"gmtModify":1704710949646,"author":{"id":"3566099162047280","authorId":"3566099162047280","name":"Korimerla","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/8b1e7ef47aacafc432f0fe3719112ea2","vip":1,"crmLevel":3,"crmLevelSwitch":1,"idStr":"3566099162047280","authorIdStr":"3566099162047280"},"htmlText":"Let
