President-elect Donald Trump's transition team is considering the establishment of a new White House position dedicated exclusively to crypto policy.
The exact nature of the position, whether it will be a senior staff role or a 'crypto czar' overseeing federal policy and regulation, remains uncertain.
Advocates within the industry are pushing for the new role to maintain a direct line of communication with Trump, emphasizing the importance of having a strong voice in the administration to represent digital asset interests.
Trump's engagement with the digital asset sector has included multiple meetings with executives from Bitcoin mining companies and cryptocurrency exchanges, indicating his interest in the industry.
