On December 22, on the Truth Social platform, former President Donald Trump announced the appointment of Bo Hines as the Executive Director of the Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets, abbreviated as "Crypto Council".

In this role, Bo Hines will work under the direction of David Sacks, the new crypto and AI advisor at the White House, also appointed by Trump.

Bo Hines, who was a college football player, entered politics as a Republican candidate in the 2022 U.S. House election. Previously, he received funding from political action committees (PACs) supporting cryptocurrency, including the American Dream Federal Action super PAC. Part of this funding came from Ryan Salame, the former CEO of FTX, who is currently serving a 7.5-year prison sentence for conspiracy to make illegal political donations.
