The White House is losing a key figure in the field of digital assets. Bo Hines, the current head of the Presidential Advisory Council on Cryptocurrencies, has announced that after several intense months in the role, he is returning to the private sector. Since January, he has been responsible for developing and coordinating the administration’s digital asset policy, including oversight of stablecoins and promoting the GENIUS Act.
According to available information, his position could be filled by current deputy director Patrick Witt. However, no official confirmation has yet been given, and the White House has not specified when a successor will be appointed. In the meantime, the council is expected to continue its work without changes.
A Significant Role in Cryptocurrency Strategy
During his tenure, Hines played a crucial role in coordinating interdepartmental discussions, setting a framework for market integrity, and shaping the U.S. strategy on digital assets. Under his supervision, a comprehensive report was produced outlining the future direction of U.S. cryptocurrency policy.
“Serving in President Trump’s administration and working alongside David Sacks, the leader for AI and cryptocurrency policy, has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” Hines stated on X. He also thanked the crypto industry for its “unwavering support” and assured that he will remain a strong advocate for it.
His departure comes at a time when the Trump administration is tightening its stance on cryptocurrencies and placing greater emphasis on stability and regulation of dollar-backed stablecoins.
Who Will Continue the Established Course?
Potential successor Patrick Witt will need to maintain continuity while effectively communicating with lawmakers and international partners. Experts believe the new advisor will play a key role in determining whether the U.S. maintains its leadership position in blockchain policy or whether other regions—faster to establish clear rules—will take the lead.
Some commentators warn that a poor choice could jeopardize part of the progress already made. Others note that long-term success in this role will require not only technical expertise but also loyalty to the president and alignment with his political stance on digital assets.
Hines’ departure opens a new chapter for U.S. cryptocurrency policy—at a time when digital assets are increasingly at the center of geopolitical and economic debates.
