The Federal Reserve chair nomination process just got interesting. Reports suggest Trump is having second thoughts about backing Kevin Hassett for the position—and honestly, this matters more to crypto investors than most realize.
Why? Because whoever sits in that chair shapes monetary policy for the next four years. Rate decisions, inflation controls, quantitative easing moves—all of it ripples straight through Bitcoin, Ethereum, and the broader digital asset markets. A hesitant Fed leadership could mean prolonged economic uncertainty or unexpected policy pivots.
Hassett has deep economic chops, but if Trump's reconsidering, we might be looking at a different direction on fiscal spending and money supply management. That translates to different conditions for crypto volatility and institutional adoption.
Keep an eye on this one. Fed chair announcements have historically triggered market movements worth billions in crypto liquidity swings.

Hassett's position is at risk, and we in the crypto circle need to keep a close eye on it... Changing the Fed chair essentially means changing the fate.
Trump's unpredictability is a variable for us, and uncertainty is the most deadly.
When the money supply changes, Bitcoin either crashes or skyrockets directly, with no middle ground.

Coming back with this again? Changing the Fed chair has nothing to do with us; we still have to look at the Federal Reserve's stance.

Here we go again with this routine. Every time the Fed Chair changes, the crypto circle starts to get overly excited... The real factor that determines the market is still when BTC spot will get an ETF...

How would I know who he will choose in the end... Anyway, no matter who replaces him, it all depends on BTC's mood.

Starting to change again... Now the crypto world is in trouble. When policies change, crypto has to dance along.

Another political drama, the crypto world has to follow along and be sacrificed
How many times has this happened? Every time the Federal Reserve changes personnel, the crypto prices shake... So troublesome
If Hassett steps down, who will be next? Can we stop messing around?
Ready my stop-loss order, waiting for this announcement to crash the market
