Trump's new administration will appoint pro-cryptocurrency candidates to key positions and take a more liberal stance on cryptocurrencies. Trump is exploring new personnel and policies to relax the cryptocurrency regulatory environment in the United States.
Trump's aides are considering putting "current regulators, former federal officials and financial industry executives" in key leadership positions who are positive about cryptocurrencies. In addition, his senior advisers are consulting with cryptocurrency executives on potential federal policy changes. The government's initial discussions focus on regulators, including the U.S. SEC.
Sources said the process is still in the early stages and the list of candidates will change. However, some of the candidates under consideration include Daniel Gallagher, who currently works for Robinhood, and two Republican commissioners of the U.S. SEC, Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda.
