Bond Investors Wary of Hassett as Fed Chair Pick Over Fears of Trump-Driven Rate Cuts, Treasury Reveals

COINOTAG News, citing the Financial Times, reports that bond investors have warned the US Treasury about a possible appointment of Kevin Hassett as Federal Reserve chairman. They fear a path toward significant rate cuts to please political interests, a scenario that could reprice the macro backdrop for crypto markets.

The report notes Treasury officials held one-on-one discussions with leading Wall Street banks, asset managers, and other large debt-market participants to solicit feedback on Hassett and other candidates. Such engagements illustrate how policy speculation can influence yield curves, liquidity, and risk sentiment across digital assets.

Markets will continue to watch for Fed guidance, as even the perception of easy money can tilt Bitcoin and Ethereum valuations. In crypto, macro policy remains a key driver of volatility and capital flows.
