Trump’s Advisers Turn to Waller for Fed Chair

Sources close to President Trump say that Fed Governor Christopher Waller is emerging as a strong candidate to succeed Jerome Powell. What stands out for Trump’s team is Waller’s willingness to base his monetary policy decisions not only on current data but also on forward-looking forecasts. This approach is especially appealing in a time when rate cuts are back on the table.

Pro-Crypto Attitude Sets Him Apart

Waller has not only earned recognition in traditional economic circles but also among the crypto community. His previous supportive remarks about digital assets have drawn attention within the space.

During the latest FOMC meeting, Waller voted in favor of a rate cut—positioning himself as a more dovish voice at the Fed. That move aligns closely with what Trump’s economic team may be seeking in a potential chair.

No Direct Meeting With Trump—Yet

While Waller has reportedly met with members of Trump’s advisory team regarding the position, he has not yet had a one-on-one meeting with the President himself. Still, his name remains high on the shortlist.

Deep FED Knowledge Adds Value

What makes Waller even more appealing is his extensive expertise in the workings of the Federal Reserve system. With years of experience in central banking, he is seen as a technically strong and strategically aligned choice for the role.
