📢BREAKING, Bo Hines Steps Down as Head of U.S. “Crypto Council,” Patrick Witt to Take Over
Bo Hines — former college football player, crypto investor, and leader of the Presidential Council of Advisers for Digital Assets — is set to exit his role and return to the private sector, according to journalist Eleanor Terrett.
Patrick Witt, Hines’ deputy, is expected to step into the leadership position. While leaving the top post, Hines will remain an adviser to support White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks on AI-focused initiatives.
Appointed by President Trump in December 2024, Hines quickly became a bridge between the White House, industry leaders, and Capitol Hill. In April, he revealed he had already met with over 150 figures in the crypto space within his first three months on the job.
Witt, a former Yale quarterback and ex-Deputy Chief of Staff at the U.S. Office of Personnel Management, has a background in public service and technology policy — though no direct experience in the crypto sector. Since early 2025, he has served as the council’s deputy director and as acting head of the Pentagon’s Office of Strategic Capital, which funds emerging tech projects.
Both men share sports roots, but Witt now inherits the task of steering federal crypto advisory efforts during a pivotal moment for digital asset regulation in the U.S.
