MacroWatch, FedChairPick: Who Will Be the New Head of the Fed? A Historic Turning Point for Crypto Markets. Markets are holding their breath waiting to see who will sit in the Fed Chairman's chair after Jerome Powell's term ends in May 2026. President Trump's clear message is that the new chairman will be someone who believes in aggressively lowering interest rates. This could open the global liquidity taps wide and send risky assets, crypto, stocks, and gold soaring. Trump's criteria are crystal clear. Trump has revealed his favorites, saying "Two Kevins are great": Kevin Hassett, Trump's loyal economic advisor and Director of the National Economic Council, is a leading figure in prediction markets and believes that low interest rates will support strong growth; Kevin Warsh, a former Fed Governor, stands out with his deep experience. His chances have rapidly increased in recent weeks; he has a profile open to more aggressive rate cuts. These two names move away from traditional Fed policies and are market-friendly. Trump promises a liquidity-focused approach; interest rates should be lowered even in a strong economic environment, and growth should be stimulated instead of policies that destroy markets. When will it be announced? The announcement may come in the first weeks of 2026. This date will trigger waves of volatility. Possible scenarios for crypto and markets: If Hassett or Warsh is appointed, aggressive interest rate cuts, liquidity explosion, new highs for BTC and ETH, altcoin rally, dollar weakness. Low interest rates and the Trump effect, risk appetite at its peak, start of a crypto bull season, increased capital flow. If uncertainty continues, short-term volatility, selling pressure, but long-term upside potential. Lower interest rates reduce the attractiveness of the dollar, fresh capital flows into crypto. Liquidity expansion, Bitcoin journey to high levels, altcoin boom, stablecoins shine as trading instruments. Is the result a historic opportunity or chaos? The Fed Chairman selection is not just an appointment. The direction of global monetary policy means the fate of interest rates and the future of risk assets. If Trump's ambition for low interest rates materializes, 2026 could be a legendary bull season for crypto. Which of the two Kevins do you think will win, Hassett or Warsh, or a surprise name? Will Bitcoin race to new highs? Let's discuss in the comments.
