#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 just saw some explosive news—a public response from Hassett regarding Trump’s intention to nominate him as Fed Chair. The former White House Council of Economic Advisers chair stated that if formally nominated, he would accept.



This statement is no small matter. Hassett was deeply involved in crafting the large-scale tax cut policy, and he has consistently criticized the current Fed for being too conservative with monetary policy. If he actually takes the chair, could the pace of rate cuts suddenly accelerate? For the crypto market, which is sensitive to liquidity, this could be a major variable.

What’s even more interesting is that he holds over $1 million worth of Coinbase stock. Think about it—someone with a direct financial connection to the crypto industry might become the head of the Fed? This would be a historic first. Right now, prediction markets give him a 56% chance of winning—higher than any other candidate.

But questions follow: will his Coinbase holdings become motivation for easier policy, or will potential conflicts of interest tie his hands? If he really does take office, what kind of volatility will $SOL and $XRP —assets extremely sensitive to macro liquidity—face?

$BTC has been fluctuating at high levels lately, and $ETH is also waiting for a directional move. If the Fed truly changes leadership and shifts policy tone, the entire market narrative could be rewritten. Do you think this counts as a positive catalyst realized, or a failed expectation? Or is there a hidden risk here that we haven’t seen yet?
SOL-3.8%
XRP-4.4%
BTC-1.38%
ETH-1.64%

Hassett's millions of dollars in Coinbase holdings... Isn't this a blatant conflict of interest? This is hilarious. Wait, is this guy really going to become Fed Chair? Then our short positions are in danger. Accelerating rate cuts sounds nice, but with this kind of background going into the Fed, he’s likely to become a target for criticism... Risk premiums will have to soar. So much for promised easy liquidity—political resistance is holding everything back. I bet this whole thing will end up being just for show. $BTC volatility will definitely get fiercer at this critical juncture; the shorting window is actually even clearer now. Bullish news being realized? I doubt it. Political correctness is going to strangle this rally.

If Hassett really takes the position, the crypto world might just take off. This move with one million Coinbase shares is absolutely brilliant.

Wait, he holds millions worth of Coinbase stock and can still be the Fed Chair? Even gamers can see through this logic.

Hassett holds millions in Coinbase stock. If he really ends up in that Fed chair... damn, that conflict of interest would be huge.

Hassett's 1 million Coinbase shares are really wild, this has to be the most blatant conflict of interest ever. Just waiting for the Fed to actually change personnel—when that happens, the whole macro narrative will reverse. The rate cut expectations have already been fully hyped, so now we need to be even more careful about ambushes.

This guy holds Coinbase stock and wants to be Fed chair? That's a direct conflict of interest. Will the regulators even agree? The dovish expectations have been hyped to the moon—if it actually happens, people might end up disappointed... Rate cuts = printing money = inflation = political risk, don't be so optimistic. He only has $1 million in Coinbase stock; that's nothing to him, don't exaggerate. Instead of focusing on his holdings, it'd be better to look at how much real policy room the Fed still has. This narrative is bound to get slapped by reality; it's cyclical. BTC is already at this level—if there was really good news, it would have rallied long ago. It's all a political game, don't get caught in the hype. The real focus should be on the risk points. Before there's confirmation, the market's reaction is way too aggressive.
