President Donald Trump on Friday formally announced the nomination of former Federal Reserve governor Kevin Warsh as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, confirming weeks of speculation over who would succeed Jerome Powell.

“I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Kevin Warsh to be the Chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System,”Trump said in a statement, praising Warsh’s experience, credentials, and long-standing ties to economic policymaking.

The nomination is subject to confirmation by the U.S. Senate.

Trump Praises Warsh’s Credentials and Experience

In his announcement, Trump opened up about Warsh’s deep academic and professional background. Warsh currently serves as the Shepard Family Distinguished Visiting Fellow in Economics at Stanford University’s Hoover Institution and lectures at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He is also a partner at Duquesne Family Office, working alongside investor Stanley Druckenmiller.

Warsh earned his undergraduate degree from Stanford University and a law degree from Harvard Law School. Trump noted that Warsh has conducted extensive research in economics and finance and has played an influential role in shaping monetary policy debates internationally.

Role in Global and U.S. Monetary Policy

Trump pointed to Warsh’s work with the Bank of England, where he authored an independent report proposing reforms to the UK’s monetary policy framework. Those recommendations were later adopted by the British Parliament.

Warsh became the youngest Federal Reserve governor in history at age 35, serving on the Fed’s Board of Governors from 2006 to 2011. During that period, he represented the Federal Reserve at Group of Twenty (G-20) meetings and acted as the board’s emissary to both emerging and advanced economies across Asia.

He also served as the Fed’s administrative governor, overseeing internal operations, staffing, and financial performance at the central bank.

Long Ties to the White House and Wall Street

Before joining the Federal Reserve, Warsh served from 2002 to 2006 as special assistant to the president for economic policy and executive secretary of the White House National Economic Council. Earlier in his career, he worked at Morgan Stanley in New York, where he held senior roles in the firm’s mergers and acquisitions division.

Trump said he has known Warsh “for a long period of time” and expressed strong confidence in his leadership, calling him someone who could become “one of the great Fed chairmen, maybe the best.”

According to market experts, Kevin Warsh is seen as a more crypto-friendly Fed nominee, and his nomination could act as a short-term positive signal for a market that is already under heavy pressure.
