#NextFedChairPredictions

​A SHIFT IN THE GLOBAL ECONOMY: WHO WILL TAKE THE REIGN AT THE FED?
​The heart of the global economy beats in Washington. As Jerome Powell’s term draws to a close, markets are locked onto one single question: To whom will "the world’s most powerful wallet" be handed? 2026 is not just a change of names; it could be the year the rules of global finance are rewritten.
​ Kevin Hassett: Is a "Crypto-Friendly" Fed on the Horizon?
Currently one of the strongest contenders, Kevin Hassett is seen as a "dream scenario" for the crypto world.
​The Crypto Connection: Having previously served on Coinbase’s advisory board and holding significant shares in the company, Hassett would be the first Fed Chair in history to understand crypto "from the inside."
​Market Impact: His appointment could trigger hopes for easing regulatory pressures, particularly regarding banking access for crypto firms. Combined with his aggressive pro-rate-cut stance, this could create a "perfect storm" for a massive Bitcoin rally.
​ Kevin Warsh: Institutional Adaptation or Rigid Oversight?
Warsh views cryptocurrencies as "software" and "commodities" but remains skeptical of the "private minting" concept.
​Stablecoins and CBDCs: While Warsh opposes a retail Digital Dollar (Retail CBDC), he is open to using blockchain technology in interbank systems (Wholesale CBDC).
​Market Impact: A Warsh-led Fed might end the "Wild West" era by bringing stablecoins under strict oversight. While this could cause short-term market turbulence, it could pave the way for massive institutional capital (RWA - Real World Assets) to flow into blockchain in the long run.
​ Rick Rieder: The BlackRock Vision at the Fed
An appointment from the world’s largest asset manager, BlackRock, would be the ultimate confirmation that crypto has won its war for "legitimacy."
​Bitcoin Advocacy: Rieder has described Bitcoin as a "durable and valuable asset."
​Market Impact: If Rieder is chosen, an explosion in Ethereum and RWA (tokenized assets) projects is expected. With his deep expertise in bond markets, he could accelerate the integration of cryptocurrencies into traditional portfolios.
​ HOW WILL THE CRYPTO MARKET BE AFFECTED BY THIS CHANGE?
​The shift in Fed leadership will impact crypto investors through three main channels:
​Liquidity Taps: If the new Chair (like Hassett or Rieder) adopts a growth-oriented "dovish" stance, cheap dollars will flood the market. This could provide the necessary fuel for Bitcoin to break and sustain the $100,000 mark.
​Regulatory Spring: The Powell era was marked by "uncertainty and litigation" for crypto. A crypto-friendly Chair could increase coordination between the SEC and the Fed to establish clear rules. Clarity means opening the gates for institutional investors like pension funds.
​Strength of the Dollar: If the new administration pursues a "weak dollar" policy, Bitcoin will shine as a "store of value" (Digital Gold). The second half of 2026 could signal a "spring season" for altcoins driven by this macro shift.
​WHO IS YOUR PICK?
