The heated covert battle for the Fed chair candidate intensifies, who is the market betting on?
Recently, both the crypto world and traditional finance circles have been paying attention to one thing—Trump's choice for the new Federal Reserve Chair. On the surface, everyone is focusing on Hassett and Waller, but secretly, a "dark horse" is rapidly gaining supporters. The current board member, Chris Waller, recently received support from 81% of top CEOs, a number that stands out.
Why is this guy so popular? Let's look at his background—he's not from politics but an academic, with a keener sense of economic trends than his peers. He has long issued warnings about economic weakness and has a clear stance: interest rates should be cut. This is significant for $BTC holders because loose monetary policy often benefits risk assets.
More importantly, he dares to cut rates but will never kneel. The Fed's independence is a bottom line for him; he won't change his stance just to please anyone. This position actually makes the market trust him more.
After he expressed his views at last year's CNBC summit, the stock market surged, and bond yields plummeted. Even The Wall Street Journal and The Economist gave positive reviews. This person understands corporate operations and the logic of financial markets, able to find a balance between different positions.
Trump's real goal isn't a puppet who obeys in every way but a decision-maker who can stabilize financial markets and promote economic growth. If Waller gets the position, the Fed's policy direction might become more flexible. But if the wrong person is chosen? Both the US financial markets and the global economy will have to bear the consequences.

Waller's choice is indeed reliable. As soon as the interest rate cut expectations emerged, the crypto market responded, much better than those politicians who only shift blame.

That guy Waller really has some skills; as soon as the rate cut expectation comes out, BTC should take off.

Waller, this dark horse, is gaining momentum. 81% of CEOs support this, which is not a small number... Once the rate cut expectation is confirmed, BTC will skyrocket, but I still want to wait and see how Trump ultimately chooses, after all, this guy's decisions are hard to predict.

Waller, this dark horse, has appeared, and it feels like the expectation of interest rate cuts is stable again... This wave of BTC is truly supported by fundamentals.

Waller, this dark horse, really has something—81% CEO support rate... What does this number indicate? The expectation of interest rate cuts is fully priced in.
