Trump Eyes Kevin Hassett for Fed Chair, a Candidate with Crypto Links
Kevin Hassett has emerged as the leading candidate for Federal Reserve chair in President Donald Trump's final selection phase. As White House National Economic Council director, Hassett's deep ties to cryptocurrency and alignment with Trump's preference for lower interest rates position him as a pivotal figure for monetary policy.
Bloomberg reports Hassett would likely accelerate rate cuts compared to current Chair Jerome Powell. His potential appointment signals tighter WHITE House control over the Fed, with implications for growth markets—particularly digital assets. The selection process remains fluid, given Trump's history of last-minute decisions.
