Tensions are rising in the battle for Federal Reserve Chairmanship, and the market senses a change is coming.

The identity of the Fed's next leader in 2026 remains undecided. The frontrunner, Hasset, recently made a sudden statement—this time, he's not just chatting; he's paving his way.

The issue of independence has always weighed heavily on the market's mind. He publicly promised that if he takes office, he will guard the Fed's independence like a steel gate. He also aims to increase transparency and firmly prevent political forces from interfering in monetary policy. His words are firm and powerful, but the market is asking: is this sincerity or just for votes?

What’s more striking is his attitude toward Powell. Regarding the criminal investigation? Hasset downplayed it with a brief remark—just a routine information request, unlikely to lead to any substantial issues. He even subtly defends Powell. This move is clever: neither fully dismissing the investigation nor alienating Powell, while sending signals to reassure the market. As a result, Powell seems to feel less pressure.

Then he drops a heavy bombshell—planning to reform housing policies to allow people to withdraw from their 401(k) retirement accounts to make down payments. This directly stirs the entire financial ecosystem. Banks are already sharpening their knives, preparing to launch a variety of innovative products. How much room is there? No one knows for sure.

The question is: can the reform efforts and the independence of the central bank be balanced simultaneously? The market is betting that ultimately, who sits in that chair will determine the future direction of U.S. finance. And this directly influences the sentiment of the crypto market.
