According to Odaily, at the Consensus 2025 conference in Toronto, Robert Hines, Executive Director of the U.S. Presidential Digital Asset Advisory Committee, defended the Trump family's involvement in the cryptocurrency industry, calling the criticism "unfair." He criticized the regulatory actions during the Biden administration as an "unprecedented war" on the crypto sector. Hines emphasized that the current administration is committed to removing regulatory barriers similar to "Operation Chokepoint 2.0" to facilitate the interaction between traditional finance and crypto assets. He also highlighted the establishment of a dedicated crypto affairs commissioner at the White House as a significant policy shift.
