Ứng cử viên hàng đầu cho Chủ tịch Cục Dự trữ Liên bang: Tôi có khả năng thúc đẩy sự đồng thuận về việc cắt giảm lãi suất

【币界】The popular candidate for the next Federal Reserve Chair, Hasset, recently responded to external doubts, stating that he has the ability to promote policy tilt within the Federal Reserve. His five years of experience interacting with various parties at the White House have made him confident—he can persuade colleagues in a committee full of disagreements and help people understand the reasonableness of his views.

It is worth noting that Hasset has long believed that the previous Fed Chair’s pace of rate cuts was too conservative. This stance is highly consistent with the current president’s attitude. However, the ultimate decision-making power over interest rates at the Fed lies with the majority vote of the Federal Open Market Committee. Even with a new chair in office, it may not be possible to reach quick consensus on major decisions such as significant rate cuts.

Hasset also reiterated a core accusation from management: the policies under the leadership of the previous Fed Chair have cyclical characteristics—starting rate cuts before the 2024 election, but immediately hitting the brakes after the new government takes office. He believes these decisions sometimes appear to be “politically colored.” This view has sparked widespread discussion in the market because the interest rate environment directly affects liquidity expectations for risk assets, including the performance of cryptocurrencies.
