Illustration of the crypto investment portfolio of Kevin Warsh, the incoming Chairman of the Federal Reserve

ME News, April 23 (UTC+8): Web3 asset data platform RootData has compiled the crypto investment portfolio of Kevin Warsh, the nominee for Chairman of the Federal Reserve. The portfolio spans multiple areas including blockchain infrastructure, on-chain financial protocols, institutional financial services, and application tools. Structurally, Warsh’s allocation can be divided into four major segments:

• Underlying Infrastructure: Networks and scaling solutions such as Solana, Optimism, and Lightning Network;
• On-Chain Finance: DeFi and trading protocols such as Compound, dYdX, and Polymarket;
• Institutional & Financial Services: Asset management, “bank-like” services, and capital conduits including Polychain, Scalar Capital, Kinetic, and OnJuno;
• Applications & Tools: User entry points and developer tools projects such as Dapper Labs, Crossmint, and Tenderly.

Overall, by stacking financial protocols on top of infrastructure and focusing on controlling institutional capital entry channels, Warsh’s allocation path shows a clear difference from typical crypto-native VCs. It is closer to how investors with a traditional finance background focus on market structure and the institutional-level framework. It is reported that on April 21, Warsh held a confirmation hearing at the Senate Banking Committee. According to the compliance disclosure documents he recently submitted, if he were to enter the regulatory system in the future (such as taking charge of the Federal Reserve), he would need to dispose of the relevant holdings.
