President-elect Donald Trump is seeking candidates with industry-friendly views for key regulatory positions to reshape the US government's crypto policy.
His transition team is consulting with cryptocurrency executives to explore potential changes to federal policy and establish the United States as the "crypto capital of the world."
Discussions have focused on financial regulatory agencies like the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with consideration of individuals known for their pro-crypto stance.
There are plans to establish a presidential council on digital currencies and appoint a dedicated crypto advisor within the National Economic Council.
