Trump Names Bo Hines as Executive Director of New Presidential Crypto Council

The council will focus on fostering innovation in digital assets under the leadership of Hines and chair David Sacks.

President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Bo Hines as Executive Director of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, also known as the 'Crypto Council.'
The council, chaired by venture capitalist David Sacks, aims to promote growth and innovation in the U.S. cryptocurrency industry while addressing regulatory and financial challenges.
Hines, a Yale and Wake Forest Law graduate, is a former Republican congressional candidate and college football player with no substantial public history in cryptocurrency.
The Crypto Council is part of Trump's broader technology appointments, which include Sriram Krishnan as Senior Policy Advisor for AI and Michael Kratsios as Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy.
Trump's crypto-friendly agenda includes plans for a U.S. Bitcoin reserve and initiatives to position the country as a global leader in digital assets and AI.
