Trump just signaled that a new Federal Reserve chair will be appointed in the coming weeks. This move carries significant weight for the financial markets—including crypto.

The selection of a new Fed leader typically signals shifts in monetary policy direction. Market participants are already parsing what this might mean for interest rates, inflation management, and overall economic stimulus. For crypto investors, Fed policy has been a major driver of sentiment—looser monetary conditions have historically fueled risk-on appetite, while tighter policy tends to cool speculative assets.

Watchers of both traditional finance and digital asset markets will be keeping close tabs on who gets picked and what their stance might be on everything from interest rates to banking system regulation. It's one of those macro events that ripples across every asset class.

The key is the new chairman candidate; whether they will loosen policy depends on this guy's attitude. --- Another new Fed Chairman, can this one finally give us traders some relief? --- Honestly, instead of guessing who the Fed Chair will be, it's better to watch U.S. Treasury yields—that's the real story. --- Now, whoever becomes the Fed Chair has to consider crypto; the times have changed. --- It's hilarious—every time there's a change in the chairmanship, they say reform is coming, but it's always the same old story. --- From on-chain data, the market is already pricing in this news; it's too slow. --- Why hasn't it been announced yet? I'm so anxious; this suspense is even worse than waiting for an airdrop. --- Stop messing around. Loosening policy causes prices to rise, raising interest rates causes prices to fall. No matter who the chair is, the logic remains the same.

The new Fed Chair is coming, now the crypto circle has to read faces to decide how to act --- Hawkish or dovish, this really determines whether we can make money --- Starting to guess again... when interest rates move, everything moves, it's crazy --- Honestly, just waiting to see if they are going to loosen monetary policy again, otherwise how can this market rise --- So now is it time to buy the dip or run away... someone tell me --- Every time the Fed head changes, it's like gambling; if you bet right, it skyrockets, if you bet wrong, it crashes --- Laughing, traditional finance always trembles at the slightest wind or disturbance

Buddy, this round is starting the guessing game again. Whether the new chairman will be lenient is the key. --- Fed change? I only care about where interest rates are headed. Just don’t come with another hawkish stance, that’s all. --- Honestly, right now it’s just a gamble on whether the new chairman will be friendly to crypto enthusiasts. Last year’s antics were enough. --- Every time the Fed acts, we have to predict for half a day. Instead of that, it’s better to just watch the market reaction haha. --- If this brother is still a hawkish supporter, I’ll laugh. Retail investors’ wallets can’t take it. --- Wake up, everyone. Even before the new chairman takes office, the crypto market will still be volatile. Don’t overestimate macro predictions. --- It feels like every leadership change is blown out of proportion, but in the end, it’s all about the data. --- Remember the key phrase: loosening policy = our opportunity. Let’s see the real deal then.

It's the Federal Reserve chair again, really waiting every day to see who will take office... Will changing the Federal Reserve chair really save the market? It feels like this has been blown out of proportion; at the end of the day, it's still about money. When easing comes, the crypto circle gets excited; when tightening, it kneels... When will this cycle end? I heard the new chair might do this or that, every time I hear it, but what’s the result? If Satoshi Nakamoto were the Fed chair, I would believe it. No matter who takes the stage this time, the overall direction won't change; interest rates can't be controlled that easily. It feels like we're speculating on expectations... the real policies haven't even been announced yet, and everyone is already guessing wildly.
