#数字货币市场洞察 **The Fed Chair Nominee Could Reshape the Crypto Regulatory Landscape**

A hot topic in the market recently: If former White House economic adviser Hassett really becomes the next Fed Chair, what changes could the crypto industry expect?

Let’s first look at this candidate’s background. Hassett is more than just an advisor to a compliance platform—he once held millions of dollars worth of stock in that platform and was directly involved in crafting the White House’s digital asset policy framework. More importantly, he has repeatedly expressed a core viewpoint: technologies like Bitcoin are rewriting traditional financial rules, and the role of regulation should be to guide rather than stifle.

What would it mean if this stance was implemented at the Fed level?

First, regulatory clarity. Institutional funds are now most afraid of policy gray areas; once the top level provides a clear framework, a lot of sidelined capital may find a reason to enter the market. Second, the depth of traditional finance’s participation—imagine the banking system being able to legally offer crypto custody, or even connect digital dollars with mainstream tokens. What would the market size be then?

The timing is also worth noting. Many analysts are focusing on the second half of 2026. The reason: if Hassett takes office in 2025 or 2026, policy tailwinds combined with other tech cycles (Bitcoin halving, ongoing ETF inflows, Ethereum network upgrades) could create a resonance effect.

But reality is often more complex than expectations. The Fed Chair’s primary task is still inflation and employment; crypto policy is at best an ancillary issue. Plus, the SEC and CFTC each have their own positions—coordination won’t be smooth. Add in any macroeconomic fluctuations, and so-called policy advantages could be drowned out in an instant.

For investors, this is more like a long-cycle variable. In the short term, watch nomination progress and statements during hearings—expectations may be priced in early; mid-term, compliance platforms, RWA assets, and Bitcoin could benefit; long-term, be mentally prepared—“buy the rumor, sell the news” has never failed in this market.

The core question is: when someone who’s deeply involved in crypto policy and holds industry stocks really takes charge of monetary policy, is this a sign of industry maturity, or just the start of another hype cycle?
