The President-elect might appoint a figure to regulate and promote the digital asset industry in the United States.
Donald Trump’s team is reportedly evaluating the creation of an entirely new position within the White House: an advisor dedicated specifically to cryptocurrency-related policies. According to Bloomberg, this initiative marks a strategic step towards coordinating the federal regulation of the digital asset sector.
The proposal involves establishing a high-level role that would act as a liaison between Congress, the Presidency, and key regulatory agencies such as the SEC and CFTC. The goal is to develop a clear regulatory framework and foster direct dialogue between the crypto industry and government institutions.
The 47th President of the United States has already engaged with industry leaders like Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, and Brian Brooks, former CEO of Binance US. Key points in Trump’s crypto agenda also include replacing current SEC Chair Gary Gensler and forming a presidential advisory council dedicated to the sector.
The names being considered for this new role remain confidential, but the intention appears to be finding a professional with strong legal and technical expertise in digital assets. This individual would lead a small team and serve as a direct interface with the President.
Such a move could signal an intention to adopt a more structured and institutional approach to digital assets.
The news comes just days after Trump Media and Technology Group expressed interest in acquiring the digital asset trading platform Bakkt.
