Trump's Fed Pick Is Knee Deep in Tech and Crypto Investments
By Matt Novak

Kevin Warsh, President Donald Trump's pick to replace Jerome Powell as the next head of the Federal Reserve, disclosed his financial holdings in a filing showing he has at least $130 million in assets, including stakes in SpaceX and Polymarket. Warsh's holdings include several companies described as AI platforms, lending operating system HighFi, virtual reality platform Sandbox VR, banking infrastructure platform Moov, and several crypto-related investments. If confirmed, Warsh would be the wealthiest person to ever serve as Fed chair. However, at least one Senate Republican has pledged not to confirm Warsh unless the Department of Justice drops its investigation of current Fed chair Jerome Powell.
