The transition issue of the Federal Reserve Chair has stirred up new waves. Recently, Trump expressed some hesitation about appointing Kevin Hassett as the Federal Reserve Chair—Hassett is currently the Director of the White House National Economic Council. If he is truly moved over, it would be a significant reshuffle of an important position. Previously, the market believed Hassett was a strong candidate to succeed Jerome Powell, but now there is opposition in the Senate, complicating the situation.

Trump is still considering other alternatives and is unlikely to make a definitive decision in the short term. He also revealed that he will announce the final decision in the coming weeks. This matter is quite crucial for traders—whoever ultimately takes the position will directly influence future interest rate policies and economic regulation strategies, which will impact the overall market sentiment.

The final choice will have different effects on liquidity expectations in the crypto market and macro policy tendencies. Now, it's just a matter of waiting to see how Trump will decide.

Hassett is stuck in the Senate? Haha, this is getting interesting, Trump will have to pick new people again. Waiting a few weeks for a conclusion? Retail investors must be going crazy with this suspense... When the interest rate policy changes, everything will shift. The market manipulators are probably betting on who will take the top spot now. I'm just waiting to see the show. The Federal Reserve Chair influences liquidity; this needs to be carefully considered. The crypto world has to dance to the changing wind. Who Trump chooses, I’ll follow that, right? Is there a problem with this logic? Powell should step down, and the new person might not be more dovish... It’s just gambling.

It will be clear in a few weeks, and during this time, the crypto circle will probably have to go through repeated tug-of-war again.

Haha, still repeating the same pattern. Trump's selection drama is really top-notch. Hassett, whether he’s suitable or not, let’s not discuss. The real issue is that the Senate folks just never stop. Just wait and see. Anyway, the first to feel the impact of interest rate policies are the crypto markets. Liquidity expectations depend on who takes the position; the influence is significant. Changing the chair is like changing the currency price—always a game of chess. Will there be a result in a few weeks? I think it’ll take several months. The longer this drags on, the more it benefits the bears. The holders just pretend not to see. Once Powell’s term ends, we’ll have to face a new situation—inevitable. It seems the likelihood of Hassett is decreasing; if the Senate opposes, then it’s game over. Is there a chance a dark horse might emerge, completely out of the current candidates? Let’s wait for the decision. During this period, just don’t mess with your positions.
