#数字资产市场动态 Sudden Weather Change! Trump Fed Nominee Controversy, Cryptocurrency Market Faces Impact

Today, a big news broke—Trump suddenly changed his mind and withdrew the nomination of Hasset for the Federal Reserve Board. How strong was the market reaction? U.S. Treasuries plummeted, with the 10-year yield soaring directly to 4.23%, the highest since September last year.

The question is: who might replace him? Former Fed Governor Wosh. This guy’s style is completely different—an hawkish figure, known for advocating rate hikes during the financial crisis. Market predictions put his chances of appointment at around 60%.

Why is this so important for the crypto market? Simply put, it’s a logical chain: hawkish dominance → no rate cuts expected → interest rates stay high → risk assets under pressure. $BTC, $ETH, and similar assets fear a prolonged high-interest environment. Additionally, the Supreme Court is about to rule on the tariffs case, which will directly impact Trump’s economic policy space. The convergence of these two events sharply increases market uncertainty.

Currently, Hasset remains in the White House, with Trump saying he is "too critical." But the Fed’s final candidate has not been confirmed yet, and global markets are holding their breath for the outcome.

What do you think? If hawks take over, is the risk for the crypto sector greater or does it present an opportunity? Increase positions, hold, or sell off?

Hawkish officials in power? There's a 60% chance this data needs to be verified again; the consensus mechanism of the prediction market itself is biased. High interest rate environment actually favors strong assets, and BTC's anti-inflation properties are even more valuable in this environment—there are flaws in the argument.

It's the same story again, hawkish policymakers coming to power spells disaster, high interest rate environmentalists' nightmare. --- Is Wosh really going to run? BTC needs to drop another round before we can buy the dip. --- Wait, isn't this actually a signal to get in? The more panicked the market, the more excited I am. --- Trump's move is truly outrageous; with constant changes, no one knows who will ultimately take over. It's better to go all-in and wait for the outcome. --- Playing crypto in a high-interest-rate environment is self-torture. I advise everyone to watch and wait. --- Where's the promised rate cut? Why is it becoming more hawkish now? The market is really interesting. --- Not to liquidate? Probably not. But friends adding positions should be careful; risks are indeed piling up. --- Wosh with a 60% success rate is much worse than Hasset. This correction may not be over yet.

The rise of hawkish policies may not all be bad news... High interest rates and insurance assets are not wrong, but the real alpha might be at the moment when policy expectations reverse.

Here we go again. Every time there's a turmoil over the Federal Reserve's nominee, we get tense... The hawks take power, high interest rates keep the pressure on, how can BTC turn around?

We really can't hold on anymore. Are hawkish policymakers directly sentencing us to death? With interest rates firmly kept high, how can BTC take off?

Hawkish officials take office, and high interest rates will continue to be stubbornly maintained. BTC is probably going to be hammered again in the short term.
