The interview for the new prospective chairman of America’s central bank will happen on Wednesday, reported the WSJ, citing people familiar with the matter.

Pro-crypto Waller, whom Trump originally appointed to the Fed board in 2020, has been a leading advocate for rate cuts this year and could take over when Jerome Powell’s term ends in May 2026. He is favored by Wall Street economists for his consistent policy arguments, according to the report.

Last week, Trump interviewed former Fed governor Kevin Warsh and director of the National Economic Council, Kevin Hassett, both of whom are high on the list for the job. Poylmarket prediction polls currently have Hassett on 53%, Warsh at 29%, and Waller with a 15.3% probability of nomination.

A Welcome Move For Crypto

The crypto industry would welcome the move, as Waller could usher in master accounts for crypto companies, said Caitlin Long, founder and CEO of Cusodia Bank.

The WSJ reported that Waller is considered an underdog because he lacks the close personal relationship with Trump that other leading candidates have. Some Trump allies also view Waller’s support for a September 2024 rate cut before Trump took office as disloyal.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Trump will likely announce his decision in early January after interviewing candidates this week and next.

However, the president remains cautious after regretting his 2017 appointment of current Chair Jerome Powell, saying he received a “bad recommendation” at the time.

All Change at the Fed

Trump is eager to replace Jerome Powell, whom he has labelled “too slow” over his delays in reducing interest rates. However, Powell remained hawkish following his most recent rate cut.

“Trump’s just going to replace him with a dove. So we’re gonna get a lot of monetary stimulus. We’re going to get a lot of fiscal stimulus,” said David Waddell, CEO of Waddell & Associates.

The Fed made three rate cuts in 2024 and three in 2025, the most recent on December 10, bringing the rate down from a high of 5.5% to 3.75%, which is still too high, according to economists and the President.

Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts?

The post Crypto News: Donald Trump-Aligned Fed Governor To Speed Up Fed Rate Cuts? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. In recent crypto news, Stephen Miran swore in as the latest Federal Reserve governor on September 16, 2025, slipping into the board’s last open spot right before the Federal Open Market Committee kicks off its two-day rate discussion. Traders are betting heavily on a 25-basis-point trim, which would bring the federal funds rate down to 4.00%-4.25%, based on CME FedWatch Tool figures from September 15, 2025. Miran, who’s been Trump’s top economic advisor and a supporter of his trade ideas, joins a seven-member board where just three governors come from Democratic picks, according to the Fed’s records updated that same day. Crypto News: Miran’s Background and Quick Path to Confirmation The Senate greenlit Miran on September 15, 2025, with a tight 48-47 vote, following his nomination on September 2, 2025, as per a recent crypto news update. His stint runs only until January 31, 2026, stepping in for Adriana D. Kugler, who stepped down in August 2025 for reasons not made public. Miran earned his economics Ph.D. from Harvard and worked at the Treasury back in Trump’s first go-around. Afterward, he moved to Hudson Bay Capital Management as an economist, then looped back to the White House in December 2024 to head the Council of Economic Advisers. There, he helped craft Trump’s “reciprocal tariffs” approach, aimed at fixing trade gaps with China and the EU. He wouldn’t quit his White House gig, which irked Senator Elizabeth Warren at the September 7, 2025, confirmation hearings. That limited time frame means Miran gets to cast a vote straight away at the FOMC session starting September 16, 2025. The full board now features Chair Jerome H. Powell (Trump pick, term ends 2026), Vice Chair Philip N. Jefferson (Biden, to 2036), and folks like Lisa D. Cook (Biden, to 2028) and Michael S. Barr…
