#圣诞行情 Hasett, if he takes charge of the Federal Reserve, will the crypto industry welcome a favorable policy wind?
#美联储降息预期升温 The suspense surrounding the Federal Reserve Chairman candidates is gradually rising, with Kevin Hasett's potential appointment becoming the most watched variable in the crypto space. Will this candidate, who is deeply connected to the crypto industry, become the industry's 'savior'?
As a shareholder and consultant of Coinbase with holdings exceeding a million dollars, Hasett's crypto-friendly stance is no longer a secret. More importantly, the White House Digital Asset Working Group that he led had outlined the government's crypto policy framework; if he takes the helm of the Federal Reserve, it is expected to push for a reshuffle of internal anti-crypto forces. As Custodia Bank CEO Caitlin Long stated, 'The Federal Reserve is set for significant changes.'
For the crypto market, the most direct benefit may come from interest rate cuts. Hasett, as an aggressive 'dove,' advocates for rapid and substantial rate cuts, and a low-interest-rate environment has always favored the performance of risk assets. Bitwise strategist Juan Leon bluntly stated that this impact is 'very favorable.' In addition, while the Federal Reserve does not directly regulate crypto assets, it controls the rules of banking services—loosening restrictions in areas such as custody, loans, and payment channels will open up critical service channels for crypto companies. Grayscale's research director Zach Pandl also acknowledges its 'marginally favorable' effect.
However, uncertainties remain. Hasett is only one of five candidates, and the final nomination is expected to be announced before #圣诞节 . However, it is undeniable that the market has begun to price in this policy dividend in advance. If he successfully takes office, the crypto industry may say goodbye to the dual pressure of regulatory ambiguity and tightening funds, ushering in a new development cycle.
