Crypto Firms Compete for Trump’s Advisory Council

During a Bitcoin conference in Nashville last July, Trump promised a new council that would focus on crypto-friendly regulations.

His team is now working on the details of how to set up and staff the council, and many top crypto firms are vying for a seat.

According to Reuters , companies like Ripple, Kraken, and Circle, along with venture firms Paradigm and a16z (the crypto arm of Andreessen Horowitz), are pushing to be part of this influential group. These companies believe that having a voice in the council would help them shape the future of cryptocurrency in the U.S. They want to make sure their interests are represented as Trump’s administration works on creating new policies for the growing digital asset market.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, who helped organize the event where Trump spoke, said that the council will likely include leading executives from major U.S. crypto firms. He’s been in talks with the President-elect about the role of Bitcoin and crypto in America’s future. Bailey expects the crypto sector’s top leaders will play a key role in advising the government on how to handle these emerging technologies.
