Analyst: Trump's nomination of a new Federal Reserve chairman sends mixed signals for Bitcoin and U.S. liquidity release

According to market news, U.S. President Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh as the new chairman of the Federal Reserve. Market analysts believe that this nomination sends complex signals regarding the cryptocurrency market and dollar liquidity. Kraken's global economist Thomas Perfumo stated that Warsh's nomination may indicate that the Federal Reserve will continue its path of interest rate cuts, but it also suggests that broader market liquidity is expected to "stabilize rather than significantly expand." This brings uncertainty to the macro backdrop sensitive to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

He also pointed out that investors may be disappointed by Warsh's skeptical stance on balance sheet expansion (such as quantitative easing). Nic Puckrin, co-founder of the educational platform Coin Bureau, analyzed that Warsh's nomination has raised investor concerns about liquidity tightening, which is a major reason for the recent declines in cryptocurrencies, stocks, and precious metals. If Warsh indeed implements policies to shrink the balance sheet, the market will have to cope with a reduced liquidity environment, which is unfavorable for risk assets. The market is currently still focused on Warsh's interest rate policies and to what extent he will respond to Trump's push for lower rates.
