The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined the cryptocurrency portfolio of Federal Reserve nominee Kevin Warsh, covering multiple areas including blockchain infrastructure, on-chain financial protocols, institutional financial services, and application tools. Structurally, Warsh's layout can be divided into four major sectors:Underlying Infrastructure: Networks and scaling solutions such as Solana, Optimism, and Lightning Network;On-chain Finance: DeFi and trading protocols like Compound, dYdX, and Polymarket;Institutional and Financial Services: Asset management, banking, and funding channels such as Polychain, Scalar Capital, Kinetic, and OnJuno;Applications and Tools: User entry and development tool projects like Dapper Labs, Crossmint, and Tenderly.Overall, Warsh's strategy of layering financial protocols on top of infrastructure and focusing on controlling institutional funding channels shows a clear difference from typical crypto-native VC approaches, aligning more closely with traditional financial background investors' concerns about market structure and institutional levels.It is reported that on April 21, Warsh held a confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee. According to his recent compliance disclosure documents, if he enters the regulatory system in the future (such as leading the Federal Reserve), he will need to dispose of relevant holdings.

Gate CBO Kevin Lee recently published an article titled "War, War Never Changes... How Will the Macro Market Move?" regarding the recent situation in the Middle East. He pointed out that geopolitical conflicts themselves do not alter the fundamental operating logic of the market; what truly determines the medium-term direction of assets is the impact of the prolonged conflict on the inflation path and changes in central bank policy orientation.Kevin stated that within hours to days after the outbreak of conflict, crude oil typically experiences significant volatility first, as the market prices in the tail risk of supply disruptions; gold then activates, serving both as a safe haven and an inflation hedge; the stock market faces short-term pressure, with VIX rising rapidly and significant sector divergence.As the situation progresses from several days to two weeks, if energy supply is not continuously damaged, oil prices and risk premiums often retrace, and stocks and crypto assets rebound with the recovery of risk sentiment; however, if high oil prices persist for an extended period, inflation expectations will be systematically elevated, shifting the asset pricing logic from a trading perspective to a macro perspective.The article further emphasizes that what truly changes the trend is not the market reaction on the day of the conflict but the inflation data and policy expectations that gradually emerge weeks later. Over a longer cycle, the market will reprice around the evolution path of inflation, the credibility of monetary policy, and the economic growth outlook. Historical experience repeatedly proves that in high-uncertainty environments, emotional decision-making often comes at a high cost; understanding the transmission sequence and respecting cyclical patterns are key to navigating volatility.

It is an important asset and serves as a "check-up report" for decision-makers. "Whether we are doing right or wrong can be seen from its price, so it is more like an inspector of monetary policy.""I see real innovators in the crypto industry, and I want to tell those suited bankers that Bitcoin is just a string of code. It is the coolest software right now, and it will give us the ability to do things we could never do before. Therefore, the focus is that we must ensure the development of crypto technology in the United States. Innovative talent is coming to America, and this is America's opportunity. The next decade will create extraordinary value."

He holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Stanford University and a Juris Doctor degree from Harvard Law School, and has conducted extensive research in economics and finance.Before joining the Federal Reserve Board, he served as Special Assistant to the President for Economic Policy and Executive Secretary of the White House National Economic Council from 2002 to 2006. Prior to that, he was a Vice President and Executive Director in the Mergers and Acquisitions department at Morgan Stanley in New York.I have known Kevin for a long time and firmly believe he will become one of the greatest Federal Reserve Chairmen in history, perhaps the best.

As the probability of Kevin Warsh becoming the next Federal Reserve Chairman significantly increases in the prediction market, Bitcoin further declines, nearing a low of $81,000.Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, points out that the market generally views Kevin Warsh's regained policy influence as a bearish factor for Bitcoin, due to his long-standing emphasis on monetary discipline, higher real interest rates, and tightening liquidity. His policy framework tends to regard crypto assets as "speculative products in a loose monetary environment," rather than tools for hedging against currency devaluation. Higher real interest rates mean that the true cost of financing rises after accounting for inflation, which typically suppresses demand for risk assets, including Bitcoin. Additionally, several observers believe that a hawkish stance and underestimation of deflation risks may have exacerbated economic downward pressure that year. If similar thinking continues, it could lead to higher unemployment rates, slower recovery pace, and greater deflation risks.

According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration is preparing to confirm Kevin Warsh as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

ChainCatcher news, according to Jinshi reports, Kevin Swift, a senior economist at ICIS Global Chemicals, stated that the latest CPI report from the United States will make the Federal Reserve's interest rate decisions "more challenging." He pointed out that due to a weak job market, the Federal Reserve may lower interest rates at the September meeting. Although wages grew by 3.9% year-on-year in August, the growth rate is slowing, which will weaken real income growth and support for consumer spending. Meanwhile, initial jobless claims have risen to the highest level since October 2021, and Swift believes this may indicate the beginning of increased layoffs and a trend of weakness in the labor market.
