Federal Reserve Chairman Warsh Says He Does Not Wish to Fully Engage in Rescue Operations
Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh stated during a congressional hearing that when asked whether he would rescue cryptocurrencies or stablecoins during a bank run, he said, "We do not wish to fully engage in rescue operations."
This statement reinforces the Federal Reserve's position on avoiding moral hazard.
The lack of expectations for rescues in market mechanisms has intensified risk aversion towards cryptocurrencies, with funds flowing from highly leveraged stablecoins and DeFi into compliant assets.

Warsh has previously emphasized the boundaries of the Federal Reserve, similar to his cautious stance on systemic risk rescues, which has pushed for private sector risk absorption after crises.
In terms of capital pathways, crypto institutions are forced to strengthen their own buffers, and investors are reducing their reliance on implicit endorsements, strategically accelerating the industry's compliance transformation to lower systemic risk exposure.
Similar to the strengthening of bank regulations after 2008, this round of cryptocurrency is in a maturation phase under the expectation of no central bank rescues.
Essentially a regulatory change, Warsh explicitly rules out crypto rescues, with the mechanism being to cut off the transmission of moral hazard, thereby forcing market participants to bear all volatility costs and promoting industry self-strengthening and deleveraging.
