Kevin Hassett’s Likely Rise to Fed Chair – Will It Make Crypto Go Bananas?

by

So, Kevin Hassett, the White House’s go-to numbers guy, might just be the new boss of the Federal Reserve when Powell finally says “sayonara” in 2026. And by boss, I mean the guy in charge of screwing around with interest rates. Yay! 🎉

Hassett’s the “dovish” type-think of him as the guy who’s too chill about lowering rates. Basically, he’s like that friend who always says, “Relax, it’s not that bad,” even as everything’s melting down. His idea? Lower rates could juice up the market. Shocker, right? More borrowing, more spending, more chaos. Just what we need. 💸

Why are the Big Shots Betting on Hassett?

Everyone’s betting on Hassett-mainly because Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Donald Trump play the “he’s our guy” card. Hassett’s been front and center with Trump’s economic crew, so, odds are, he’s got a good shot. Or he just really likes to be in the room where it happens.

Oh, and Hassett’s big on cutting rates fast and furiously. That’s right, he’s pushing for the “faster, the better.” And what’s the result? Investors get excited, riskier assets like Bitcoin get shiny, and crypto fans everywhere start dreaming of moonshots. 🚀

Industry folks like Juan Leon, a crypto strategist, say Hassett would turn the crypto universe into a bullish carnival. Like, “Hey, Kevin, you’re the bull in the china shop,” and everyone’s cheering. “If Kevin Hassett becomes Fed Chair, crypto’s gonna dance like nobody’s watching!”

Hassett as Fed Chair = Crypto lovers’ dream!

1. A dove who’s already calling for faster rate cuts-like he’s on a mission.

2. He’s been around the block with digital assets, owns a chunk of Coinbase, and even sat on its advisory board. Talk about insider info! 🧠

Meanwhile, Hassett’s not the only kid on the block. Other contenders include Kevin Warsh, Christopher Waller, Michelle Bowman, and some guy from BlackRock-because why not make it a Hollywood casting call? The powers-that-be are trying out candidates, and we’ll find out by early 2026, just in time for the “Powell curtains” show. 🎭

Odds via Polymarket-Hassett’s in the Lead (Sort Of)

Polymarket, that fun place for guessing the future, says there’s a 57% shot Hassett takes the reins. But don’t get too comfy-nothing’s set in stone yet, and the game’s still wide open. Behind him, Waller’s at 22%, and Warsh is lagging at 15%. So, a real game of political musical chairs.
