Wall Street has been buzzing recently: the shortlist for Federal Reserve Chair candidates has been narrowed down from a large list to four, with White House advisor Kevin Hasset emerging as the leading contender, almost considered a foregone conclusion.

This person actually has a significant background. During Trump's first term, he served as Chairman of the White House Economic Advisory Council, gaining attention for his willingness to express independent views. In his memoir, he also revealed some behind-the-scenes details—certain White House aides wanted to "push him out" from the very beginning. His independent personality, a few years ago, made it seem unlikely he would have trouble leading the Federal Reserve.

But now, the situation is different. The market's concern centers here: after many years, will Hasset's policy stance and decision-making logic change? Every move by the Federal Reserve Chair impacts the global financial landscape. If the 2025 version of him really takes office, will it stabilize the situation or cause turbulence? Investors are uncertain.

What do you think? Will Hasset ultimately sit in this chair? How will the Federal Reserve's policy direction change after he takes office? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Hasset is really bold to speak his mind, but the problem is that the Federal Reserve Chair position requires stability, not personality. Speaking of which, if he really gets promoted, will the White House put pressure on him again? That’s the key. Wait, will this guy be more friendly to crypto? If the Federal Reserve really changes to someone who doesn’t follow the usual rules, those of us who are short might not know how to react. Honestly, I find it hard to see what his current stance really is. If policies suddenly change, the global financial chessboard will be thrown into chaos, and it might be even harder for short sellers. Isn’t this just a gamble—betting whether he’s still the same rebellious person or has been worn down? It feels like the market is now betting on this uncertainty. Anyway, I don’t really believe he can remain independent to the end.

Hasset still has to listen to Trump, what's the point of independence... Waiting for a crash, this time the Federal Reserve is really starting to change. Policy stance, it didn't matter five years ago, can we still trust it now? By this time next year, we should know, just hold on to your coins. Honestly a bit scared, if the Federal Reserve messes up, the whole market will crash. A personality that doesn't follow the trend? If you're in the White House, how can you still be independent? Just kidding.

That guy Hasset can hold his ground and not follow the trend, but whether he can control the Federal Reserve's chair is another matter altogether.

Hasset this guy, he just looks like a troublemaker, betting that this time he still can't stabilize... I've seen this trick before, power can change people, don't trust too much in "independent thinking"... Federal Reserve Chair? Hehe, whether to raise or cut interest rates depends entirely on the White House's mood. To put it nicely, it's about balance; to be blunt, it's about puppetry... Whether he can sit in that chair or not isn't the point; the key is whether he will change again once he's in. The market is already scared stiff... Is this a bet on the direction of U.S. dollar policy, or a bet on Hasset's integrity? Both seem uncertain...

Hassett taking the stage, I actually look forward to it, at least he's more interesting than those old bureaucrats. --- Independent opinions sound nice, but can they really hold up at the Federal Reserve? Power is pretty much the same for everyone. --- Everything will change by 2025. Betting he's still the same person is just naive. --- Honestly, I'm more concerned about what will happen to Bitcoin. Who becomes the Fed Chair will have a bigger impact on on-chain liquidity. --- Not following the trend? Ha, once you're in the Federal Reserve, don't expect independence. The system will reshape people. --- It feels like trouble is brewing again. Wall Street probably won't sit still this time. --- Whether policy logic changes or not, we just need to look at the data. Don't be fooled by the personas. --- A few years are enough to change a person, let alone to adapt to the pressure of that kind of position. --- If this guy really takes the stage, US stocks will probably be in for some turbulence for a while.
