Bo Hines, former CEO of President Trump’s Crypto Council, is leaving his post after a successful tenure marked by significant legislative progress and strategic policy implementation. He will transition to a special government advisor role, focusing on AI-related initiatives alongside David Sacks, the council’s ‘crypto czar’. Patrick Witt, Hines’ deputy, steps in as the new chief executive, tasked with continuing the council’s efforts in shaping US crypto markets. Hines played a pivotal role in co-authoring a landmark Senate bill impacting federal crypto market structure, confirming the administration’s interest in a national Bitcoin reserve, and coordinating strategic initiatives for digital asset innovation. Witt brings his Pentagon expertise to lead the council’s legislative agenda while navigating the evolving landscape of US digital assets. The council is poised to maintain its forward-looking approach, leveraging public and private sector collaboration for continued industry leadership and innovative policy solutions.
