With holiday trading underway, markets are closely watching whether Trump will announce his next Fed Chair nomination, with Kevin Hassett currently seen as the leading candidate.
The key question for markets isn’t the name alone — it’s the policy stance.
🔹 If the next Chair is hawkish:
2025 rate-cut expectations could be pushed back or priced out. That would likely strengthen the dollar, tighten liquidity, and create short-term headwinds for risk assets — including Bitcoin.
🔹 If the next Chair is dovish:
Markets may reprice toward earlier or deeper rate cuts in 2025, improving liquidity conditions. Historically, this environment has been supportive for BTC and broader crypto markets.
💡 What it means for Bitcoin:
In the short term, BTC may react to shifting rate expectations and volatility. Long term, Bitcoin continues to trade as a liquidity-sensitive macro asset, benefiting when monetary conditions ease.
👉 How do you see this playing out?
Hawkish surprise or dovish pivot — and how are you positioning for BTC?
