COINOTAG News reports that U.S. policy watchers are tracking the Fed chair narrative, with Treasury Secretary Benson signaling one or two additional interviews could occur this week. The tone across policy circles remains cautious as markets await clarity on the policy path and leadership.

Within the crypto market, such developments can shape risk appetite and liquidity conditions. Traders are evaluating how a potential chair’s approach to monetary policy and central-bank independence might influence macro cues, funding dynamics, and regulatory expectations that affect digital assets.

Benson also rejected claims that Hassett cannot serve on the Fed and dismissed speculation that a new chair would erode Fed independence. The stance supports policy credibility, helping to avoid abrupt shifts that could unsettle crypto markets and cross-asset risk premia.
