Jerome Powell was sworn in as Chairman of the Federal Reserve on February 5, 2018, after President Donald Trump officially backed him during his first term. He spent over eight years leading the financial institution, but a massive fallout with Trump led to countless public criticisms.
Now, Trump has picked Kevin Maxwell Warsh as his new Fed Chair. Warsh officially stepped into the role on May 22. At 56 years old, he is a financier and attorney, believed to be the first bitcoin supporter to take this position. This has prompted many crypto insiders to speculate that Bitcoin could benefit significantly. But is that what ChatGPT thinks?
The popular AI chatbot said Warsh is far from a “newcomer,” having already served as Fed governor. He is known for a more market-sensitive approach, skepticism toward prolonged ultra-loose monetary policy, and close ties to Wall Street.
According to ChatGPT, this matters because bitcoin’s price has increasingly become tied to liquidity conditions and Fed policy expectations. It added that the bull case for Bitcoin would be if Warsh signals faster rate cuts, which doesn’t seem likely at the moment, along with easier financial conditions and support for market stability.
Bitcoin would thrive under such conditions, as liquidity increases, real yields fall, and investors seek alternative stores of value.
“A more market-friendly Fed could quickly revive risk appetite, and bitcoin is often the first to react,” said ChatGPT.
However, the chatbot outlined a different scenario, which it described as “not all doves are bullish.” It explained that Warsh has expressed concerns about inflation persistence, which became more evident after the war against Iran started, and excessive monetary expansion.
If his strategy continues the path laid out by Jerome Powell, meaning a more hawkish stance, then these higher rates could pressure risk assets, including bitcoin.
ChatGPT also cautioned that the market is unlikely to experience significant volatility from the appointment alone. It would need clearer signals. The chatbot outlined some key catalysts that could unlock more fluctuations, but the brutal reality is that Warsh’s impact on Bitcoin is far from certain.
