The official announcement of the Federal Reserve Chair candidate is scheduled for early 2026, which is highly significant for the crypto market. Compared to any short-term market speculation, the policy inclination of the new chair may truly determine the overall direction of crypto assets in the coming period.

How does interest rate policy directly impact the crypto space? The logic is quite simple. The Federal Reserve's leader controls the pace of global liquidity through interest rate leverage. A rate cut cycle releases liquidity, benefiting high-risk assets (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other coins), leading to substantial capital inflows. Conversely, rate hikes tighten monetary policy, causing capital to retreat from risk markets and putting digital assets under pressure, resulting in a correction.

The policy stance of the new chair directly sets the tone for the crypto market in the first half of next year. If the new chair leans dovish and advocates growth-friendly policies, Bitcoin and mainstream coins will receive strong policy dividends, and their rebound momentum will be fully activated. However, if the candidate is hawkish and insists on tightening, the crypto space will immediately face pressure, and a correction risk becomes unavoidable.

Market consensus believes January is a rebound window for digital assets. If the new Federal Reserve Chair favors crypto-friendly policies, it could serve as a critical point for market takeoff. While a guaranteed breakthrough to new all-time highs cannot be assured, it is enough to push prices into a clear rebound zone—precisely the upward catalyst the current crypto market desperately needs.

The recent performance of coins like BTC, ZEC, and AT is all waiting for this policy signal to materialize. Once interest rate policies become clear, the main upward wave in the crypto market may follow.
