Donald Trump’s Federal Reserve Chair nominee, Kevin Walsh, has disclosed a portfolio of digital asset investments ahead of his confirmation hearing.

The nominee has begun divesting selected holdings to address potential conflicts of interest tied to monetary policy oversight.

Speaking on the Blockchain Bulletin, host Callum Williams said Walsh’s exposure goes beyond Bitcoin, including stakes in crypto neo-banks, exchanges and prediction market firms.

“Walsh has committed to selling selected investments before his confirmation hearing with the Fed which is expected next week,” Williams said.

The update comes as US lawmakers move closer to agreement on stablecoin regulation. White House adviser Patrick Vit confirmed senators have aligned on the interest debate linked to the Clarity Act, with talks ongoing between banks and crypto firms.

In the UK, the Financial Conduct Authority is consulting on stablecoins, trading platforms and safeguarding rules ahead of a planned regulated market launch in 2027.

Elsewhere, Tether has launched a self-custodial USDT wallet, while Polygon is unlocking $330m in staked assets to boost liquidity as it targets over 2 billion transactions in 2026.
