The Web3 asset data platform RootData has outlined the cryptocurrency portfolio of Federal Reserve nominee Kevin Warsh, covering multiple areas including blockchain infrastructure, on-chain financial protocols, institutional financial services, and application tools. Structurally, Warsh's layout can be divided into four major sectors:Underlying Infrastructure: Networks and scaling solutions such as Solana, Optimism, and Lightning Network;On-chain Finance: DeFi and trading protocols like Compound, dYdX, and Polymarket;Institutional and Financial Services: Asset management, banking, and funding channels such as Polychain, Scalar Capital, Kinetic, and OnJuno;Applications and Tools: User entry and development tool projects like Dapper Labs, Crossmint, and Tenderly.Overall, Warsh's strategy of layering financial protocols on top of infrastructure and focusing on controlling institutional funding channels shows a clear difference from typical crypto-native VC approaches, aligning more closely with traditional financial background investors' concerns about market structure and institutional levels.It is reported that on April 21, Warsh held a confirmation hearing before the Senate Banking Committee. According to his recent compliance disclosure documents, if he enters the regulatory system in the future (such as leading the Federal Reserve), he will need to dispose of relevant holdings.

According to CCTV news reports, Iran stated that the U.S. Navy destroyers "Frank E. Peterson" and "Michael Murphy" attempted to "infiltrate" the Strait of Hormuz the previous day, and indicated that the U.S. warships used the cover of the ceasefire conditions to create false propaganda of "successful passage" and to influence the ongoing U.S.-Iran negotiations.Iran claimed that the two warships attempted to disguise themselves as Omani merchant vessels sailing off the southern coast of Oman, choosing a dangerous route that was very close to the coast and had a shallow draft, hoping to enter the Persian Gulf through "covert" movements and the "negligence" of the Iranian military during the ceasefire. The Iranian Navy ultimately intercepted them at the entrance to the Persian Gulf. The two destroyers were forced to withdraw to the Oman Sea without being able to enter the Strait of Hormuz.

He hopes that countries such as France, Japan, South Korea, and the United Kingdom will send warships to the area, so that the Strait of Hormuz no longer poses a threat. The U.S. will heavily bomb the coastal areas of Iran and continuously sink Iranian ships. In any case, we will soon open up the Strait of Hormuz.

Iranian Foreign Minister Amir-Abdollahian said today (March 5) that the United States will "eventually regret the precedent it has set" by attacking an Iranian warship in international waters. Amir-Abdollahian stated on social media that the Iranian frigate was a "guest of the Indian Navy," carrying about 130 people, and was attacked in international waters 2,000 miles (approximately 3,218 kilometers) from the Iranian coast without any prior warning.U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said on the 4th that a U.S. submarine sank an Iranian warship on the 3rd in the Indian Ocean with a torpedo, which the Iranian vessel believed was sailing safely in international waters.

As the probability of Kevin Warsh becoming the next Federal Reserve Chairman significantly increases in the prediction market, Bitcoin further declines, nearing a low of $81,000.Markus Thielen, founder of 10x Research, points out that the market generally views Kevin Warsh's regained policy influence as a bearish factor for Bitcoin, due to his long-standing emphasis on monetary discipline, higher real interest rates, and tightening liquidity. His policy framework tends to regard crypto assets as "speculative products in a loose monetary environment," rather than tools for hedging against currency devaluation. Higher real interest rates mean that the true cost of financing rises after accounting for inflation, which typically suppresses demand for risk assets, including Bitcoin. Additionally, several observers believe that a hawkish stance and underestimation of deflation risks may have exacerbated economic downward pressure that year. If similar thinking continues, it could lead to higher unemployment rates, slower recovery pace, and greater deflation risks.

According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration is preparing to confirm Kevin Warsh as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

According to Polymarket data, the two most likely candidates to succeed the Federal Reserve Chair have reversed again, with Kevin Warsh's probability of taking office soaring to 85%, while BlackRock's Chief Investment Officer for Global Fixed Income, Rieder, has seen his probability drop to 8%.

According to Polymarket data, regarding the successor to the Federal Reserve, the implied probability for BlackRock's Chief Investment Officer of Global Fixed Income, Rieder, is 47%, higher than former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh's 28%, current Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller's 9%, and White House National Economic Advisor Kevin Hassett's 8%.The total trading volume for this event exceeds $250 million, and the chart shows that Rieder's pricing curve accelerated upward in January, surpassing competitor Kevin Warsh on January 23.

According to Gelonghui, economist, financial analyst, and bestselling author of "Currency Wars," Jim Rickards, he would not be surprised if gold prices reach $10,000 and silver rises to $200 by 2026. He stated that various factors driving the entire precious metals market, with gold leading the way, will continue to play a role next year:The traditional driving factors behind the current gold bull market—namely, demand from central banks and relatively stagnant supply—will remain effective for a considerable time into 2026.The surge of new, non-traditional factors may push prices even higher. Increased demand from institutional investors—including sovereign wealth funds and endowment funds—could drive prices up again.Geopolitical risk aversion—the recent attempts by Europe to take over Russian assets may also be affecting gold demand, as some countries have begun to use gold allocations to avoid potential asset seizures by the U.S.
