#Gate广场五月交易分享 The Federal Reserve Chair Succession Tomorrow: Today’s Crypto Market Chops and Pulls Back—What Impact Will Warsh’s Taking Office Have on Crypto?
Tomorrow’s Federal Reserve Succession: Warsh Takes the Baton—Crypto-Friendly Policies Could Be the Biggest Variable
On May 15, Powell’s eight-year term officially ends. He will remain as a Governor for a period of time to ensure a smooth transition. Meanwhile, Kevin Warsh—nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate on May 13—will officially become the 17th Chair of the Federal Reserve.
Warsh previously served as a Federal Reserve Governor from 2006 to 2011. He is a well-known market-oriented figure, and he has also openly said that Bitcoin is “an excellent supervisor of policy” (a good policeman for policy), which is exceptionally rare among past Chairs.
After Warsh takes office, his monetary policy style is expected to focus more on economic growth rather than solely fighting inflation. While there are still inflation pressures (PPI data sends warnings), the Trump administration hopes to stimulate the economy through rate cuts, and Warsh may release a more dovish signal at the June FOMC meeting.
Historical experience shows that the early period after a new Federal Reserve Chair takes office is often accompanied by market turbulence: the new Chair needs to establish authority, and short-term hawkish remarks may intensify volatility; but in the medium to long term, if policy shifts toward easing, abundant liquidity will benefit risk assets.
Every Federal Reserve Chair succession has been followed by a drop—will this time be any different? Get ready!
Federal Reserve Chair Change Tomorrow: Waller Takes Over, Crypto-Friendly Policies Could Become the Biggest Variable
On May 15th, Powell’s eight-year term officially ends, and he will remain as a board member for a period to ensure a smooth transition. Meanwhile, Kevin Waller, nominated by Trump and confirmed by the Senate on May 13th, will officially become the 17th Chair of the Federal Reserve.
Waller served as a Federal Reserve Board member from 2006 to 2011, is a well-known market-oriented figure, and has publicly called Bitcoin “a good policeman for policy,” which is rare among past chairs.
