Trump "designates" Hassett, the myth of U.S. Treasury bond safety is shattered! Retail investors must pay attention to the life-and-death game in the crypto market
Trump has done it again! This time, he is aiming for the position of Chairman of the Federal Reserve — Hassett may take over from Powell and become the new "money printer boss." This move has completely torn apart the "safe-haven halo" of U.S. Treasury bonds, and even gold has started to compete with U.S. Treasury bonds for the "safe-haven meal ticket"! Retail investors, you must hold on to the coins in your hands!
Who is Hassett? Trump’s “economic czar,” an advocate of aggressive “money printing to save the economy.” If he takes the position of Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the rate of interest rate cuts could be twice as aggressive as it is now! The yield on U.S. Treasury bonds has already been hammered down to 4.38% due to Trump's “reciprocal tariff” policy, and now it is set to “plunge straight down three thousand feet.” U.S. Treasury bonds, once a traditional safe-haven asset, have now become a “hot potato” — funds are being frantically sold off, rushing into gold and cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin even dropping below $84,000, and retail investors facing liquidation amounts nearing $985 million!
Why has the safety of U.S. Treasury bonds failed? Trump’s tariff hammer has shaken global trade to the core, causing the credibility of the U.S. dollar to collapse, and the “risk-free asset” label of U.S. Treasury bonds has been torn off. German government bonds and renminbi assets have instead become the new favorites. Ironically, Hassett himself even admitted that “U.S. Treasury bonds are now inferior to gold,” making this move a classic case of “lifting a rock only to drop it on one’s own foot”!
What should retail investors do? Don’t panic! Remember three phrases:
First, don’t put all your eggs in one basket; diversify with cryptocurrencies, gold, and government bonds to hedge against risks;
Second, keep an eye on the Federal Reserve’s policy direction; if Hassett really takes office, the wave of interest rate cuts might arrive sooner;
Third, don’t let the panic of “failed safety” scare you; although the crypto market is volatile, the long-term opportunities of technological innovation and decentralized finance still exist.
The failure of U.S. Treasury bonds as a “safe haven” is not the end, but a signal for market reassessment. Retail investors, don’t be intimidated by short-term fluctuations; rational analysis and diversified allocation are the keys. Remember, investing is not about gambling with your life, but about using your brain — those who can stay clear-headed in this “great reshuffle of safe-haven assets” will be the ones who laugh last!
