President-elect Donald Trump is gearing up to shake things up in the crypto world.
This group is expected to provide guidance on digital asset policies and help draft crypto-friendly legislation with Congress. Also, work on establishing a strategic Bitcoin reserve—key promises from Trump’s campaign trail.
The advisory council will collaborate with major government agencies, including the SEC, CFTC, and Treasury, to create a clear regulatory framework and promote a pro-crypto environment. This could signal a turning point for the crypto industry, which has long been navigating murky waters when it comes to U.S. regulations.
Many of the likely appointees already have ties to Trump, with several having met him recently at Mar-a-Lago. Among the notable figures is Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, who discussed potential policies and roles in the administration. MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor was also seen speaking with Eric Trump about Bitcoin’s role in bolstering the U.S. economy. Meanwhile, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong and Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse have reportedly had their own sit-downs with Trump.
Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, another prominent player, has also been in the spotlight. Allaire revealed that Circle contributed $1 million in USDC to Trump’s inaugural committee to support the incoming administration’s crypto initiatives.
In December, Trump appointed Bo Hines, a former congressional candidate, to lead the Crypto Council. Hines will work closely with David Sacks, Trump’s incoming White House AI and crypto czar, to foster innovation and growth in the digital asset space. “Bo will work with David to ensure the crypto industry has the resources it needs to thrive,” Trump said in a statement. With Hines and Sacks at the helm, the council aims to establish a supportive ecosystem for the crypto industry while promoting innovation.
