It’s no secret that President Donald Trump is a proponent of crypto. But it goes deeper than that—he is increasingly placing crypto enthusiasts in key positions within the U.S. government. Will this unleash a perfect storm for crypto and send bitcoin to new record highs?
The New Fed Chair #
If the appointment of Kevin Hassett as president of the U.S. central bank (the Fed) goes through, it could cause a seismic shift in the financial markets. Alongside Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, the duo could completely rewrite the financial landscape. Many are looking forward to this, but for some, alarm bells are ringing.
Research firm SightBringer published an extensive analysis on X of this total reversal in financial policy. Here is a summary:
According to SightBringer, the Hassett-Bessent tandem would represent a complete reversal of the monetary policy in place since the 2008 financial crisis. The Fed would change from a guardian of stability to a tool for liquidity. The Treasury would once again become the ideological center for economic policy, similar to the 1940s-50s era, which ended with the dominance of the Fed. The current movement would reverse this.
The Strategy That Could Ignite the Crypto Market #
This tandem understands how the monetary system works. They will try to counter the mountain of debt with enormous growth, or they will let inflation explode. This points to an upcoming increase in the money supply, a focus on economic growth, and little restraint on high investment returns. It will lead to higher prices, aggressive investment, and also a higher bitcoin price.
The risks are also clear. Savers will lose value, as will pensions. The national debt will explode. Owning things of value will be the way to survive, and holding cash is noted as ‘financial suicide.’
With this duo, Trump can completely steer the financial world. Bitcoin could explode in such an environment. This will no longer be policy, but ideology. Growth of the economy—at all costs.
According to SightBringer, this is a strategic move against China. It is geopolitical warfare, in which the U.S. is positioning itself for the next 10 years.
What Are Analysts Saying? #
Jonah said on X that Hassett will start in May 2026 and that by then you should mainly bet on stocks and bitcoin, otherwise you will miss the boat.
Eric Daugherty said on X that economic growth of four percent is expected in the coming year. The Kobeissi Letter calls it ’the arrival of a new financial era’ on X.
There are also warnings, such as from The Defi Report. According to them, these economic and financial plans could cause quite a stir, leading to unexpected outcomes.
But overall, analysts agree that the most obvious outcome would be that both stocks and bitcoin could show strong gains.
