New Fed Boss Incoming? Markets Already Whispering

Key Highlights:

• Trump team eyes Christopher Waller as next Fed Chair after Powell’s term ends May 15

• Waller dissented at July meeting, favoring a rate cut over Powell’s cautious pause

Yello Paradisers! If the Trump campaign were a hedge fund, it might be accused of insider positioning, because Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller is now the clear front-runner to replace Jerome Powell. According to Bloomberg, Trump’s circle is warming up to Waller faster than Bitcoin after a CPI miss.

Trump hasn’t made it a secret: he’s been frustrated with Powell’s hesitation to slash rates. And now, with Powell’s term ending in May 2026, the former president isn’t waiting around. Sources say he’s quietly interviewing candidates to fill the soon-to-be-vacant Fed seat left by Adriana Kugler, and more urgently, laying groundwork for a post-Powell pivot.

Waller’s record is no mystery. Appointed by Trump in 2020, he’s already positioning himself as a pro-cut voice. At July’s FOMC meeting, while Powell played it cool, Waller voted in favor of slashing rates, citing signs of labor market deterioration. That dissent is now looking less like rebellion and more like an audition.

What’s in It for Crypto?

A Waller-led Fed could accelerate that timeline. More cuts, weaker dollar, stronger Bitcoin narrative, that’s the trader’s dream sequence right there.
