Novogratz: Dovish Trump Fed could send Bitcoin to $200K—but at America’s expense
Galaxy Digital CEO Mike Novogratz has identified a potential “biggest bull catalyst” for Bitcoin that could drive the cryptocurrency to $200,000, but warned such a scenario would be detrimental to America.
- Novogratz says a Trump-picked dovish Fed chair could send Bitcoin soaring to $200K.
- He warns such a move risks Fed independence and weakens the U.S. economy.
- Markets watch Trump’s Fed shortlist amid fears of ultra-loose monetary policy.
Speaking in an interview with Kyle Chasse, Mike Novogratz said that an ultra-dovish Federal Reserve chair appointment by President Donald Trump could lead to massive Bitcoin ( BTC ) gains through aggressive rate cuts.
The Galaxy CEO noted that while Bitcoin could reach $200,000 under such conditions, he wouldn’t want it to happen because he “kind of loves America.”
Novogratz warned that excessive dovishness could threaten Fed independence and create an “oh shit moment” where both gold and Bitcoin skyrocket due to concerns about currency debasement.
Trump’s Fed chair decision creates market uncertainty
Novogratz said the potential scenario of Trump appointing an extremely dovish Fed chair represents Bitcoin’s most significant bullish catalyst.
He described a situation where “Fed’s cutting when they shouldn’t be, and you put in a massive dove,” leading to what he called a “blow-off top” moment for Bitcoin.
The Galaxy CEO noted that markets have partially priced in expectations of Trump choosing a dovish candidate, but uncertainty remains about how extreme the appointment might be.
Trump has reportedly narrowed his Fed chair shortlist to three candidates: White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, and former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.
Economic consequences vs. crypto benefits
Novogratz expressed conflicted feelings about the scenario that could drive Bitcoin to new heights.
Even though he acknowledged the massive bullish potential for cryptocurrency markets, he called the underlying economic conditions “really shitty for America” and warned about the potential loss of Fed independence.
A dovish Fed stance typically weakens the U.S. dollar and boosts risk assets, such as Bitcoin, as traditional investments like bonds and term deposits become less attractive.
This creates a feedback loop where currency debasement drives investors toward alternative stores of value.
The Galaxy CEO’s prediction shows concerns about monetary policy extremes and their impact on asset markets.
Novogratz suggested that the market won’t fully react to this scenario until an official announcement is made.
