In what would be the first role of its kind, President-elect Trump is mulling a position dedicated solely to cryptocurrency policy, FOX Business has learned.
It’s unclear if the role would be a czar type or a White House staff role, but the individual would have the president’s ear, according to industry sources familiar with the discussions.
The official holding the position would interact with regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
The president-elect campaigned among pro-crypto voters, helping him clinch the White House by winning the popular and electoral vote.
He visited New York City crypto bar PubKey in September and was the keynote speaker at Bitcoin 2024, a widely attended industry trade show in Nashville.
