Federal Reserve Chair Nominee Kevin Warsh Discloses Crypto and AI Investments Ahead of Senate Hearing

Kevin Warsh, nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Federal Reserve and replace current chair Jerome Powell, has disclosed millions of dollars in assets ahead of his confirmation process. In filings submitted to the US Office of Government Ethics, Warsh reported holdings in several crypto and artificial intelligence-related investment funds.

The disclosure listed Excepted Investment Funds (EIFs) connected to crypto firms such as Compound, Dapper Labs, and Kinetic, along with AI-focused companies including Delphi, Conversion, Factory, and Glue. Although his total assets exceed $100 million, the value ranges for several crypto and AI investments were not specified.

Senate Confirmation Timeline and Financial Details

The Senate Banking Committee has scheduled Warsh’s confirmation hearing for April 21. His largest disclosed positions include more than $50 million in the Juggernaut Fund and over $10 million earned in consulting income from Duquesne Family Office, the investment firm associated with Stanley Druckenmiller.

Warsh was initially announced as the nominee in January, with the formal nomination submitted in March as discussions intensified over replacing Powell, whose second four-year term is set to end on May 15.

Regulatory Leadership Gaps and Crypto Policy Outlook

The nomination comes at a time when key US regulatory agencies, including the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), face leadership vacancies. The SEC currently operates with three commissioners, while the CFTC has only one confirmed member.

These staffing gaps could influence the pace of digital asset regulation, especially as lawmakers continue debating a long-delayed crypto market structure bill introduced in July 2025.
