#美联储重启降息步伐 White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett recently dropped a bombshell—he directly suggested that the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 25 basis points at next week’s meeting, and said that the FOMC is clearly leaning toward the dovish side right now. This is no ordinary statement, especially since Trump is currently considering candidates for the next Fed chair, and Hassett just happens to be on that shortlist.

On Fox, Hassett spoke pretty candidly. He said that in the long run, rates need to come down, and if everyone agrees on a 25 basis point cut, he’s fine with it. When pressed by reporters on whether he’d support further cuts, he hedged—“depends on the data,” weighing both inflation and employment. As for the Fed chair nomination, he was quite open: “It’s an honor just to be considered alongside such impressive people.” Then he left it at “we’ll see.”

Trump, for his part, isn’t staying quiet. He said he’ll announce his pick in early 2026 and hinted that he “already has someone in mind.” Over the past few days, he’s praised Hassett several times in public, and at a White House event on Tuesday, he even dropped a hint: “I suspect a ‘possible’ Fed chair is in the room—someone everyone respects.” Insiders are saying that if Hassett does get the nod, his current role may go to Treasury Secretary Besant.

Policy recommendations on one side, political maneuvering on the other—Hassett’s move is a subtle one. Where US monetary policy goes next, and what it means for $ZEC $SUI $ETH and these digital assets, is a drama that’s only just getting started.
