The variables surrounding the Fed Chair candidate are reshaping market expectations. As Trump expressed hope that Kevin Hassett would continue to serve as the Chair of the National Economic Council, his previously highest probability in the Fed Chair race dropped from 40% to 15%-18%. Meanwhile, the hawkish figure Kevin Warsh unexpectedly gained popularity, with market odds soaring to 58%-60%, indicating that global liquidity may face tightening pressures. Other candidates like Waller remain in the 14%-16% range.

Interestingly, trading volume on prediction markets Kalshi and Polymarket has surged, with investors betting real money on the future direction of the Fed. This personnel change touches on macroeconomic policy nerves and has a substantial impact on the valuation logic of risk assets like #美国民主党BlueVault $ETH. Who ultimately gets nominated could determine the market rhythm for the next cycle.

BTC-3,07%

ETH-3,09%

Wow, is Warsh really coming? The hawkish and iron-blooded era is about to begin, and the crypto circle better brace itself. Hassett dropped directly from 40% to 15%, the contrast is fucking outrageous. The trading volume in the prediction market is so intense, it shows that big players are already placing bets. We retail investors are really slow to catch on. When liquidity tightens, how can BTC and ETH remain so stable? I just don't understand. With such huge betting amounts, whoever hits the jackpot can really get rich.

Warsh, this odds are really crazy. When a hawkish person comes in, liquidity is immediately strangled. I need to rethink my position.

Once this hawkish figure Warsh takes the helm, BTC will have to be smashed into the desert Alright, Hassett has been recruited, now the Fed chair competition is intensifying A surge in trading volume in prediction markets? It shows that no one can see through it, just gambling Odds of 58-60 for Warsh, liquidity tightening is a certainty This personnel change will really determine the next cycle's trend, there's some suspense People are betting with money on Kalshi and Polymarket, predicting the future of the Federal Reserve When tightening pressure hits, how can risk assets survive? It's exhausting Hassett dropped from 40 to over 15, that gap is a bit painful The Fed chair selection process is like a beauty pageant, it's really absurd Liquidity tightening? Then I need to reevaluate my crypto assets

Oh no, Warsh is on the rise, liquidity tightening is really coming --- Hassett was moved, the odds were cut in half, this move is a bit extreme --- The prediction market is booming, really people are betting with money on the Fed Chair, I just can't understand --- If the hawks take office, the crypto circle will cool down, better short it early everyone --- A 58% probability for Warsh, is the market crazy or am I crazy --- This personnel change directly determines the next cycle? That's too exaggerated haha --- The pressure of liquidity tightening is here, BTC needs to think carefully about how to survive --- The trading volume on Kalshi is really outrageous, everyone is betting --- Hassett dropped from 40% to 18%, the speed of this reversal is incredible --- Macroeconomic policy nerves have been triggered, risk assets need to be re-priced

Ha, Warsh's sudden rise is quite fierce, hawkish policies are really coming Once liquidity tightens, the crypto market will cry The real money on betting platforms doesn't lie, the trend has already shifted I really didn't expect Hassett to be moved, directly halved from 40% The trading volume of Kalshi and Polymarket is so explosive for a reason, all the money is in voting The next cycle depends entirely on this guy, truly According to hawkish tendencies, BTC will face more pressure again Feeling a bit restless, about to start rebalancing It's ridiculous how political events seriously impact crypto prices When Warsh takes office, liquidity will tighten, we've long been mentally prepared

Oops, Warsh suddenly surged to 58%, now it's time to tighten up. Hassett has been brought back to his original form, the drama is just too intense. Odds directly reflect expectations; investors are really voting with their money. With the hawks in power, BTC and ETH need to slow down. Kalshi's trading volume is skyrocketing, indicating everyone is betting on this game. The rhythm of the next cycle really depends on the Fed Chair's decision. Liquidity is about to change; everyone, get ready early.

Damn, Warsh, this dark horse is really amazing. The 58% odds are skyrocketing. Now liquidity is going to be drained.
