Treasury Secretary Bessent continues floating names for the next Federal Reserve chair. According to recent reports, Christopher Waller recently had what sources describe as a 'strong interview' with Trump regarding the Fed chair position. Separately, investor Bill Rieder is set to interview at Mar-a-Lago for the same role.

These personnel moves signal potential shifts in monetary policy direction. The Fed chair selection will significantly influence interest rate decisions, inflation management, and broader financial conditions—factors that ripple through crypto markets and asset valuations. Observers in the digital asset space are watching these developments closely as they could reshape the regulatory and macroeconomic backdrop for blockchain adoption.
