The ultimate showdown for the Fed Chair! The fate of interest rates and crypto hangs on three major candidates, and the market has quietly priced it in!

The Wall Street Journal reports: The battle for the next Fed Chair is essentially a three-way balancing act among Trump, Wall Street, and the markets! The candidates have hidden the most concerning interest rate secrets and regulatory directions for the crypto community, and the market has discreetly valued the final winner.

Hassett, strongly backed by the White House, is Trump's top "compliant player," with a probability of being appointed as high as 60%. He openly states that if elected, he would "immediately cut interest rates," even supporting aggressive easing of over 25 basis points, making him the most radical candidate for rate cuts. However, the market worries that his deep ties to Trump could undermine the Fed's independence and raise doubts about policy stability.

Walsh, supported by Wall Street, has received endorsements from the financial community but faces questions about his ambitions—his promises to cut rates have been labeled as “performative,” and if circumstances change, he might abandon easing, failing to meet the market's ongoing expectations for liquidity. The crypto community lacks confidence in his policy consistency.

The biggest dark horse is Waller! 81% of corporate executives voted for him, with no Trump background and a logically sound argument for cutting rates. More importantly, he clearly states that innovation in digital assets is “nothing to be afraid of,” making him the only candidate among the three to publicly support the crypto industry, seen as a crypto-friendly leader.

For the crypto market, the selection directly impacts its lifeblood: Hassett's election could trigger a short-term liquidity surge, Walsh's ascension might cool down rate cut expectations, and Waller's victory would balance independence, easing, and crypto inclusiveness, most beneficial for long-term ecological development.
