Trump Eyes Fed Chair Candidate Waller as Rate-Cut Advocate Shapes the Debate

As reported by WSJ, sources familiar with the matter indicate that President Trump will interview current Federal Reserve Governor Waller on Wednesday regarding the Fed Chair candidacy. Waller has emerged as a key voice within the Fed advocating for rate cuts this year, a stance that could shape policy expectations and liquidity across markets, including the crypto sector. At the July meeting, rates were held steady and Waller dissented in favor of a rate cut, signaling a dovish tilt that economists view as helping bridge internal divisions.

Investors will watch for Waller’s economic outlook remarks scheduled for Wednesday night 东八区 to gauge the policy trajectory. A clearer path to rate cuts could support risk assets and boost crypto liquidity, providing a potential tailwind for Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies amid shifts in the dollar dynamics and global liquidity.
