The nomination of a new Fed Chair significantly impacts market liquidity and risk appetite. Here is how it affects the Crypto and Forex markets:



1. Impact on Crypto (Bitcoin & Altcoins)
The "Warsh Effect" (Neutral/Hawkish): As Kevin Warsh became the frontrunner, Bitcoin faced slight downward pressure (dipping toward $95,000). Warsh is viewed as more "hawkish" (favoring higher rates/tighter liquidity) than previous favorites, which typically reduces the appeal of high-risk assets like crypto.

Liquidity Sensitivity: Crypto prices thrive on cheap money. If the new Chair is perceived as a "puppet" who will cut rates aggressively at the President's request, crypto could see a massive "melt-up" rally. Conversely, an independent, data-driven Chair may slow down rate cuts, capping crypto's gains.

The CBDC Factor: Warsh has historically supported a "Digital Dollar" (CBDC), which some in the crypto community fear could lead to tighter regulation of decentralized assets like Bitcoin.
