The Wall Street Journal reported that among Trump's candidates for Fed chair, Kevin Hassett( is already ranked quite high.

What’s interesting about this person? He might be one of the earliest in the traditional finance circle to speak positively about Bitcoin. Back in 2021, while most officials were still questioning whether digital currencies were a bubble, Hassett had already publicly stated: "Bitcoin can completely serve as an alternative option to gold." He has studied blockchain and is not the type of conservative who shakes his head at the mention of BTC.

If this nomination succeeds, the underlying intention is actually quite obvious:

In terms of the implementation of economic policy, Trump needs a highly cooperative person. If fiscal expansion intensifies in the coming years, the Fed must keep pace rather than pull in the opposite direction. Hassett clearly will not be the one to sing a different tune.

In terms of market signal transmission, promoting someone who understands crypto assets to a position is itself a gesture—telling young investors and tech capital: this government knows where the money flows and also knows where the future is.

The possibility of regulatory restructuring is greater. A chairman who understands digital assets might be able to break the unclear regulatory boundaries between the SEC and CFTC. Subsequent actions regarding the Bitcoin spot ETF, and even more aggressive native crypto financial instruments, could usher in a truly institutional breakthrough.

It's not just as simple as changing a person; it's more like laying the groundwork for some new game rules.
