Warsh’s nomination as the new Fed chair has ignited US liquidity drought concerns, but his interest rate policy may hold the silver lining for risk asset recovery, according to market analysts.

US President Donald Trump has nominated Kevin Warsh as the new Federal Reserve chair, which introduced a mixed signal for cryptocurrency markets and dollar liquidity, threatening to extend the current consolidation.

Trump nominated Bitcoin-friendly Warsh on Friday, and he is set to replace Jerome Powell when his term ends in May, assuming the Senate approves him.

Warsh's nomination could mean the Fed will continue its interest rate cut trajectory. But according to Thomas Perfumo, a global economist at cryptocurrency exchange Kraken, it also signals that broader market liquidity is expected to “stabilize rather than meaningfully expand.”
