According to reports, U.S. President Trump revealed in an interview that he already has a candidate in mind for the next Federal Reserve Chair, but has not yet made it public. Interestingly, he mentioned that Chief Economic Advisor Haskett is "one of the absolute favorites," which immediately sparked market speculation.

The numbers in the prediction market are more straightforward — Kevin Wash has a 41% chance of being elected Federal Reserve Chair, followed by Kevin Haskett at 39%, and Christopher Waller at 12%.

This matter is not trivial for the crypto world. The choice of the Federal Reserve Chair relates to the monetary policy tone for the coming years, directly affecting liquidity conditions and the overall direction of the crypto market. Currently, the market is waiting for Trump's final announcement—who will sit in that chair, who knows.

Can Hasset's 39% chance really turn the game around? It feels like Wosh is still a bit more stable.

nah look, the prediction market odds are literally screaming manipulation signals here. 41% vs 39%? that's not organic price discovery, something's fishing in those order books fr. need to trace the wallet clustering on these bets... but yeah fed chair pick definitely moves liquidity. watch the stablecoin flows when trump finally drops the announcement, that's where the real pattern emerges.

Hasset's 39% still feels uncertain, Trump's mouth is never disappointing.

Oh no, here comes another guessing game. I'm tired of Trump's routine. Wosh 41% vs Hasset 39%, just a 2-point difference. The suspense is built... alright, let's wait for the announcement. When the Federal Reserve Chair changes, the crypto prices might go on a roller coaster. This matter is indeed quite critical.

The support for Hasset is so strong. If he really gets elected, the crypto world will go wild.

To be honest, I don't quite believe the 41% chance for Hasset; it seems very exaggerated.
