2026 will be a critical milestone for the Federal Reserve Chair nomination—this decision will reveal whether the U.S. central bank can truly maintain independence. How much political pressure will the new chair, nominated by Trump, face upon taking office? This question is more complex than it appears on the surface.

In fact, it's not just the U.S.; developed countries' central banks are experiencing the same dilemma: increasing political interference. Monetary policy, which should be professional and neutral, is increasingly entangled in partisan struggles. Once a central bank loses its independence, policies tend to become short-sighted—sacrificing long-term stability for political gains.

For the crypto market, this is also a signal. Loose monetary policy often drives up asset prices, but if the central bank is politically hijacked, policies will become unstable. This uncertainty will eventually transmit to all risk assets, including Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Therefore, the appointment of the Federal Reserve Chair in 2026 will not only impact the economy but also influence the overall asset market expectations.
