A New Favorite Emerges for the Fed Throne.
Bloomberg says Kevin Hassett is now Trump’s top pick to replace Powell.
Strange vibe in the air today — Bloomberg reports that Kevin Hassett, head of the National Economic Council, has become the leading candidate to take over the Fed when Powell’s term ends in May 2026. And sources say Trump is leaning his weight toward him, hoping for someone a bit more aligned with his vision. Though, comme d’habitude, everything could flip overnight — politics is just another kind of market volatility 😅
Hassett himself said he’d accept the job, and insiders paint him as a “moderate bridge” — friendly enough to Trump, yet still palatable to Wall Street. Down here under the southern sun, I can’t help but feel the macro winds shifting again. A new Fed chair isn’t just a name on a door — it’s a whole new tempo for liquidity, rates, and the mood around assets like $BTC.
If this direction holds, 2026 could be a very different chapter for both markets and crypto.
