On May 15, 2026, the current Federal Reserve Chair Powell's term will come to an end. According to current personnel trends, the administration initially intended for current Treasury Secretary Bessent to succeed him, but this proposal was politely declined by Bessent. The two leading contenders for the position are Hasset and Wash. In terms of polling support, Hasset is currently in the lead.

It is worth noting that both of these candidates lean dovishly in their monetary policy orientation. For the crypto market and macro asset prices, the Fed Chair's policy preferences are crucial—dovish tendencies usually imply more moderate rate hike expectations and a more abundant liquidity environment.

Who do you think will ultimately take this position?
