Stablecoin issuer Tether has appointed former White House Crypto Council Executive Director Bo Hines as strategic advisor for digital assets and U.S. strategy. This move signals a push to expand its presence in the American market, which boasts the largest economy globally. Hines will work directly with U.S. policymakers and coordinate Tether’s domestic growth initiatives. His responsibilities include strengthening collaboration with regulators, fostering dialogue with industry stakeholders, and shaping Tether’s US market strategy. Hines brings experience from his time in the Trump administration, where he contributed to policies promoting digital asset innovation, stablecoin regulation, and government-industry collaboration on blockchain technology. This move is further supported by Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino’s recognition of Hines’ ability to navigate complex regulations and promote blockchain adoption. Tether’s expansion will go beyond digital assets, with a focus on investments in U.S. infrastructure that build upon the nearly $5 billion already invested into the American economy.
