Polymarket Odds For Bitcoin Friendly Kevin Warsh As Fed Chair Jump to 94% Ahead of Trump Decision

US President Donald Trump is expected to announce on Friday his intention to nominate Bitcoin-friendly Kevin Warsh as the next Federal Reserve chair, replacing Jerome Powell, whose term ends in May.

Trump said on Thursday that he will be announcing his pick to replace the central bank’s current chair, Jerome Powell, whose term finishes in May, on Friday morning, with Bloomberg, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times reporting that the president is set to announce Warsh as his nomination.

“I’m going to be announcing, I think, a really great choice tomorrow,” Trump said while arriving at the premiere of first lady Melania Trump’s documentary.

According to reports, Trump met with Warsh at the White House, with a Reuters report saying that he impressed the president.

As a result, Warsh’s odds of being nominated as the next Federal Reserve chair surged from 30% to 94% on prediction market Polymarket, with the former frontrunner, BlackRock executive Rick Rieder, seeing his odds rank to 3.4%.

Trump’s Rhetoric Puts Warsh Ahead of the Pack

Kevin Warsh, National Economic Council Director; Kevin Hassett, BlackRock executive; Rick Reider; and Fed Governor Christopher Waller were the final four candidates.

Trump appeared set in his decision, as he said, “It’s going to be somebody that is very respected, somebody that’s known to everybody in the financial world.”

“And I think it’s going to be a very good choice,” Trump added.

Trump has long mentioned Warsh as one of his top candidates for the role, and met with the US president in December for his formal interview.

Warsh served as a Fed governor for five years after being nominated by President George W. Bush. He was also considered by Trump in 2017 for the role of Fed chair, which ultimately went to Jerome Powell.

“A lot of people think that this is somebody that could have been there a few years ago,” Trump told reporters Thursday night.

Trump has continued his attacks on Powell, saying the Fed chair should cut interest rates.

This also benefits crypto, as Warsh holds a far more favorable view of Bitcoin than Powell, who has consistently dismissed the cryptocurrency’s role in the US economy.

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

Adam Wainwright Takes The Mound Again Honor Darryl Kile

(Photo by Brandon Sloter/Image Of Sport/Getty Images) Getty Images St. Louis Cardinals lifer Adam Wainwright is a pretty easygoing guy, and not unlikely to talk with you about baseball traditions and barbecue, or even share a joke. That personality came out last week during our Zoom call when I mentioned for the first time that I’m a Chicago Cubs fan. He responded to the mention of my fandom, “So far, I don’t think this interview is going very well.” Yet, Wainwright will return to Busch Stadium on September 19 on a more serious note, this time to honor another former Cardinal and friend, the late Darryl Kile. Wainwright will take the mound not as a starting pitcher, but to throw out the game’s ceremonial first pitch. Joining him on the mound will be Kile’s daughter, Sierra, as the two help launch a new program called Playing with Heart. “Darryl’s passing was a reminder that heart disease doesn’t discriminate, even against elite athletes in peak physical shape,” Wainwright said. “This program is about helping people recognize the risks, take action, and hopefully save lives.” Wainwright, who played for the St. Louis Cardinals as a starting pitcher from 2005 to 2023, aims to merge the essence of baseball tradition with a crucial message about heart health. Kile, a beloved pitcher for the Cardinals, tragically passed away in 2002 at the age of 33 as a result of early-onset heart disease. His sudden death shook the baseball world and left a lasting impact on teammates, fans, and especially his family. Now, more than two decades later, Sierra Kile is stepping forward with Wainwright to…
