Trump Selects Stephen Miran to Lead Council of Economic Advisers

The former Treasury official and crypto advocate will guide economic policy during Trump's second term, pending Senate confirmation.

Stephen Miran, a Harvard-educated economist and former senior Treasury adviser, has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump to chair the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA).
Miran is known for his support of cryptocurrency innovation and has criticized current U.S. crypto regulations, aligning with Trump's pledge to make the U.S. a global crypto leader.
The CEA chair will play a key role in shaping economic policy, including addressing inflation, managing tariffs, and fostering economic growth through tax reforms.
Miran has been a vocal critic of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and the Biden administration's economic strategies, including allegations of market manipulation by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen.
The appointment is part of a broader effort by Trump to assemble a team focused on economic expansion, with other crypto-friendly figures also joining his administration.
