I recently heard an interesting piece of news — U.S. President Trump already has a candidate in mind for the next Federal Reserve Chair, but he hasn't announced it publicly yet. In an interview with the media, he said: "I have made a decision, but I haven't talked to anyone about it yet." Quite mysterious, right?
When asked about Chief Economic Advisor Haskett, Trump said, "I don't want to say," but still complimented him by saying he's "definitely one of my favorites." This somewhat reveals a little.
According to market predictions, Kevin Wirth has the highest probability of being appointed, at around 41%; Kevin Haskett is close behind at 39%; Christopher Waller has a relatively low chance, only 12%.
What's the background? The Federal Reserve is currently in the eye of the storm. Trump wants to significantly cut interest rates, and the entire institution is under this pressure. The new chair will have to face this complex situation — whether to cut rates in line with the trend or to stick to prudence? This decision will greatly influence the market's future direction. So, this candidate is also closely watched in the crypto circle.

Trump's "hesitant" act has the entire market guessing. With just a 2% difference, Wosh and Hasset simply can't tell who is better.

Vosh and Hashet are evenly matched, but I bet Trump will ultimately choose a more obedient one... Once the rate cut expectation fails, the crypto market will suffer a lot.

Here comes the suspense again. Trump's old tricks are getting tired... However, a rate cut can indeed save the crypto world, depending on what attitude the new chairman takes.

Trump is at it again, acting all mysterious—who would believe it... But if the interest rate cut expectations fall through, the crypto world will be crying.

Playing psychological warfare again, we've seen Trump's tricks many times... If we really want to say, we've already said it. Now, hesitating like this is just to see who gets anxious.

Hasset's 41% odds are really tempting. If the interest rate cut expectations are fully priced in, the crypto circle is about to take off.
