Where the chair of the Federal Reserve chairman moves, the direction of the global crypto market may shift.

The U.S. Treasury Secretary just revealed that there are 11 candidates on the list for the next Federal Reserve chairman, with interviews starting in early September, and Trump will ultimately make the decision. Currently, four individuals are known to have a relatively friendly attitude towards cryptocurrencies, including investment bank strategist David Zervos, BlackRock executive Rick Rieder, and Federal Reserve insiders Bowman and Waller.

These individuals are not just talk—Zervos and Rieder have invested real money in crypto trading platforms, stablecoin companies, and major Bitcoin holdings; Bowman believes that Federal Reserve employees should 'experiment with small amounts' of crypto assets to learn the technology; Waller is more direct, stating that traditional banks have no need to fear cryptocurrencies, as it is simply 'a new technology for bookkeeping.'

My viewpoint:

The core of this matter is that policymakers are shifting from 'wanting to suppress what they don't understand' to 'learning first and then regulating.' If the crypto-friendly faction truly takes control of the Federal Reserve, it will at least bring about threefold effects:

Short-term sentiment boost: Referring to Biden's appointment of crypto-neutral Powell for re-election in 2020, Bitcoin rose by 40% that month. If a clear friendly faction comes to power this time, the market is likely to replicate this optimistic sentiment.

Mid-term policy easing: For example, clearer regulations on banks custodying crypto assets and stablecoin issuance. Bowman's suggestion that 'employees can invest in cryptocurrencies' may seem minor, but it actually hints at a lower entry threshold for institutional involvement.

Long-term ecological integration: If BlackRock executive Rieder comes to power, it becomes even more interesting—his institution has already launched a Bitcoin ETF, and in the future, they may push for the Federal Reserve to allocate Bitcoin on its balance sheet (even if just tentatively), which would be a nuclear-level signal.

However, it is important to note that the Federal Reserve chairman ultimately has to balance multiple interests and cannot become a spokesperson for cryptocurrencies. But compared to the past few years' regulatory threats to 'ban banks from dealing with Bitcoin,' the ability to openly discuss technological value is already a significant advancement.

If the Federal Reserve chairman really appoints someone who gives the green light to crypto, do you think Bitcoin can reach $150,000 by the end of the year? Share your opinions in the comments!
