Key points:
Galaxy CEO Mike Novogratz said that criticism of Powell has been overextended and no longer reflects current market dynamics.
Meanwhile, Bitmine Chair Tom Lee said markets are likely to “test” the incoming Fed leadership before stabilizing.
Lee expects markets to enter a bull run for an 18-24 month period that follows.
Galaxy Digital (GLXY) CEO Mike Novogratz and Bitmine Immersion Technologies (BMNR) chairman Tom Lee are not worried about the change of guard at the Federal Reserve ahead of Kevin Warsh’s confirmation hearing, scheduled for later on Tuesday.

In an interview with CNBC, Lee stated that he believes the market will still test the new Fed Chair, but then we will go on to have “one of the best 18-24 month periods we have seen in our lives.”

Novogratz struck a similar tone in a post on X. “Two things can be true at the same time,” he wrote. “Warsh will be a great Fed Chair and it’s time drop the Powell witch hunt and move on.”

Why Fed Drama Matters For Crypto

The leadership transition comes at a time when crypto markets remain sensitive to interest rate expectations and liquidity conditions. Powell’s tenure coincided with aggressive rate hikes and tighter financial conditions, which weighed on risk assets.

Meanwhile, Warsh has previously expressed support for financial innovation, including blockchain technology, while cautioning against excessive regulation.

Both Novogratz and Lee suggested that while short-term volatility may occur as Kevin Warsh steps in to replace current Fed Chair Jerome Powell in May, the broader trajectory for digital assets remains upward.
