Kevin Warsh was sworn in as Federal Reserve Chair after a narrow 51-45 confirmation. His crypto holdings, political ties, and $226M fortune face intense scrutiny.

Kevin Warsh, a former Fed governor with Solana and Polymarket investments, will be sworn in as Federal Reserve Chair on May 22 after a 54-45 Senate vote.

The Senate confirmed Warsh last week in a largely party-line vote. A former top Fed official, Warsh will become chair at an unusually difficult time for the independent agency.
