The competition for the position of the Federal Reserve Chair has suddenly become exceptionally fierce, and the game theory behind it is directly related to your asset allocation.

The latest polling data has refreshed market expectations — Hassett's chance of being elected has soared to 56%, firmly securing the top position. His main opponent, Walsh, has seen his probability shrink to 22%, while incumbent board member Waller remains at 12%. The rankings can change dramatically in just a few days, indicating that this is not a simple economic data game, but a deep contest concerning the independence of the Federal Reserve.

Who is Hassert? Simply put, he is the core economic advisor to the White House, advocating for a more aggressive interest rate cut policy to stimulate economic growth. If he takes over the Federal Reserve, the market may usher in a liquidity frenzy—stock markets could rise, and cryptocurrencies might be stimulated as well. Sounds tempting, right? But the problem is that the market will start to worry that the Federal Reserve will become a policy tool of the White House, losing its independent pricing power. In the long run, this concern could undermine the foundation of the dollar's credibility.

Across from us is Wosh. This guy has an impressive resume, having worked at the Federal Reserve, and he has good relationships with Wall Street bigwigs (such as the CEO of JPMorgan Chase who supports him). But he has a label: a staunch critic of quantitative easing. If he takes office, he might cooperate with the need for interest rate cuts while aggressively reducing the Federal Reserve's balance sheet. In simple terms, it's like using one hand to "release" and the other hand to "withdraw," causing the market to go through a painful "withdrawal" period of liquidity. In the short term, it may lead to severe volatility, but in the long run, it results in a healthier financial ecosystem.

The core question is: who is in control? The answer is simple—what kind of Federal Reserve does he need? Hassett previously tried to show a posture of "independent thinking" and was once out of favor. Now that the probability has risen, it may indicate that he has once again passed the invisible test of "loyalty."

What does this mean for cryptocurrency traders?

If Hasset is ultimately elected, prepare for potential volatile markets - ample liquidity typically stimulates asset prices, but be wary of subsequent inflationary pressures. If Waller takes office, the market will need to adjust for a period, and assets may face pressure, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing, as infrastructure will be more robust.

The script for this grand play is still being written, but one certain signal is: the policy turning point has arrived, and regardless of who takes office, the rules of the game are being restructured. Is your position ready?
