The U.S. Federal Reserve may implement up to three interest rate cuts in 2026, according to on-chain data from December 25, 2025. CME Fed Funds Futures data indicates a reduced likelihood of a rate cut in January 2026, as noted by Galaxy Securities. Kevin Hassett, a leading candidate for Fed Chair, emphasized that falling prices and rising incomes are driving stronger-than-expected economic growth. Hassett projected a 4% GDP growth rate, potentially resulting in 100,000 to 150,000 monthly job gains. The Federal Reserve is currently lagging in rate cuts, with employment trends expected to significantly influence policy decisions as the selection of the new Fed Chair progresses.
