Hassett, a top economic adviser in the current administration, just floated an interesting take on what the next Fed chief needs to be: someone who actually responds to the data. Not exactly a hot take on the surface, but the timing's curious. Markets are hypersensitive to any hint about monetary policy shifts right now, and comments like this tend to signal where the political winds might be blowing on rate decisions. For those watching macro trends that ripple into digital assets, this kind of chatter matters—Fed positioning shapes liquidity cycles, and liquidity cycles shape everything from BTC correlation patterns to altcoin volatility. The emphasis on "data-responsive" could mean pushing back against purely dovish or hawkish ideological stances, which might actually inject more unpredictability into the equation.
