Kevin Warsh’s financial disclosure lists Solana, Polymarket, and SpaceX via venture fund holdings as Trump’s Fed chair nominee faces ethics review.
Kevin Warsh, President Trump’s nominee to lead the Federal Reserve, has disclosed holdings in Solana, Polymarket, and SpaceX through venture fund positions listed in his public financial disclosure filed with the Office of Government Ethics.
Warsh electronically signed his public financial disclosure on February 25, 2026. The document reveals crypto and tech exposure not as direct, standalone positions but as underlying assets within venture fund schedules.
The AVGF I underlying-asset schedule includes Solana, described in the filing as a “high-performance blockchain platform.” The AVGF II schedule lists both Polymarket, labeled a “prediction market platform,” and SpaceX (acq. xAI), categorized as an “aerospace and AI technology company.”
The distinction matters. These holdings sit inside pooled venture vehicles rather than appearing as direct line items, a nuance that much of the initial coverage glossed over. The fund-structure detail shapes how any potential divestiture would work and what conflicts of interest regulators might flag.
The White House announced on January 30, 2026 that Trump nominated Warsh to serve as chairman of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. That nomination triggered the Ethics in Government Act review process now underway.
OGE issued its opinion on April 10, 2026, certifying the filing but stating that Warsh’s report would be fully compliant only after he divests specified assets. The agency did not publicly detail which holdings must be sold, but the divestiture caveat adds regulatory uncertainty to a confirmation process already under scrutiny.
The filing paints a picture of substantial personal wealth. Two separate Juggernaut Fund, LP entries each carry valuations of over $50,000,000. The disclosure also reports $10,200,000 in consulting fees from Duquesne Family Office.
Columbia Law professor Kathryn Judge noted that Warsh is “wealthy and well connected,” a characterization that underscores the scale of potential conflicts a Fed chair with venture fund exposure to crypto, prediction markets, and Elon Musk’s companies would face. Any future stablecoin or digital asset regulation passing through the Fed’s purview could intersect with these disclosed interests.
Among the three headline holdings, Solana is the only liquid, publicly traded digital asset. SOL traded at $84.32 at press time, up roughly 1.4% over the prior 24 hours, with a market cap near $48.5 billion.
The disclosure does not prove any direct market impact on SOL. Warsh’s Solana exposure sits within a venture fund schedule, and the filing does not specify the size of the underlying position relative to the fund’s total assets.
Broader market sentiment remains cautious. The Fear and Greed Index sits at 21, firmly in “Extreme Fear” territory. That risk-off backdrop means Warsh’s crypto holdings are landing in a market already wary of regulatory and macroeconomic headwinds.
For crypto observers, the filing raises a narrower question: whether a Fed chair with even indirect blockchain exposure would need to recuse himself from decisions touching digital asset policy, or whether divestiture alone resolves the conflict. OGE’s April 10 opinion suggests the agency believes divestiture is the path to compliance, but the specifics remain undisclosed.
Polymarket’s inclusion adds another layer. The prediction market platform has grown into a significant venue for political and economic event trading, and a growing intersection of tech platforms and financial services makes the boundaries between traditional finance and crypto-native products harder to draw. A Fed chair nominee holding exposure to both a blockchain network and a prediction market platform through venture funds is without recent precedent.
Warsh’s confirmation hearings, whenever they are scheduled, will likely probe these holdings in detail. Until then, the OGE filing and its divestiture caveat remain the most concrete public record of how deeply Trump’s Fed pick is tied to the companies and protocols reshaping finance.
