Wall Street has sent a not-so-friendly signal to the White House.

According to the latest reports from Fox journalists, several top financial institutions are privately pressuring the Trump team: their preferred candidate for Fed Chair, Hassett, may not be the right choice. The reasoning is quite straightforward—this candidate could bring about three major problems.

First is a crisis of confidence. Within Wall Street, it’s widely believed that Hassett does not have enough authority in the markets to “command the room,” meaning his policy signals are likely to be discounted. Second is the interest rate risk: once he’s appointed, long-term rates could immediately rise, directly disrupting the current monetary policy framework. Most critically, there’s the issue of inflation expectations—if he opts for a rate-cutting approach, the market will interpret it as “the Fed becoming a political tool,” and inflation expectations could quickly spiral out of control.

The chain reaction is already being anticipated: higher mortgage costs, tighter consumer credit, and an abrupt interruption of the economic recovery.

Meanwhile, alternative candidates are emerging. Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh and current Governor Christopher Waller are names now frequently mentioned in Wall Street circles—they’re seen as more stable, “professional” choices.

Interestingly, just a few days ago, the market was collectively excited about the possibility of Hassett taking office, expecting a “dovish era” and even pushing Bitcoin past $91,000. Now, the script has completely flipped.

Hassett has a solid academic background, but his lack of hands-on central banking experience is a weakness. What really makes institutional investors nervous isn’t his personal ability, but the fact that if the Fed’s independence is called into question, the anchor of the entire financial system will be shaken.

The ball is now back in Trump’s court: stick with his own pick, or compromise with financial reality? This personnel battle has long since surpassed the issue of the candidate—it’s becoming a direct clash between political will and market forces.

If Hassett does end up getting the job, will the crypto market rise or fall first? What’s your take?
