Trump lauds Chris Waller as ‘great’ after Fed chair interview, will pick within weeks
President Donald Trump praised Federal Reserve chair nominee Chris Waller as "great" and "fantastic," confirming he will announce his selection for the role within weeks. Waller, who has expressed crypto-friendly views, is among three or four candidates on the shortlist. According to prediction platform Polymarket, Waller currently has a 14% chance of selection, trailing crypto-supportive White House adviser Kevin Hassett (53%) and former Fed governor Kevin Warsh (28%). The crypto industry is closely monitoring the appointment due to the Fed's influence on interest rates, which significantly impact digital asset markets. Lower rates often drive investors toward higher-risk investments like cryptocurrencies.
