The executive director of the White House Crypto Council, Hines, leaves his post to return to the private sector.
He marks a significant change in the leadership of the Crypto-Monnais policy of the Trump administration.

Hines was a central figure in the training of the position of the advice on digital assets, the regulation of stablescoin and the innovation of the blockchain.
His mandate, which began in December, included complex debates on the role of crypto in the financial markets, consumer protection and national competitiveness.
Although Hines abandons his duties as a daily leadership, he will remain involved in the administration as an employee of the special government, focusing on artificial intelligence initiatives. As such, he should work alongside the venturer and venture capital David Sacks, a notable figure in the technological and political arenas, while the White House accelerates its AI strategy.
The transition of leadership arrives at a critical moment for the cryptographic industry. With a regulatory clarity still elusive and the global courts that advance with managers for digital assets, the White House cryptography council plays a key role in the coordination of politics between federal agencies. The industry stakeholders will wait closely how the departure of Hines – and the approach of his successor – could influence the priorities of the administration.
The deputy for Hines, Patrick Witt, should assume the role of executive director. Witt, a renowned political strategist with in -depth knowledge of financial markets and emerging technologies, worked in close collaboration with Hines on the agenda. His appointment signals a certain degree of continuity, but analysts say that his style of leadership and his political accent could still make subtle changes.
Hines’ decision underlines an increasing trend in high -level public sector leaders who return to private industry, often taking advantage of their government experience in advisory, investment or executive roles. It also highlights the growing overlap between the political spheres of the crypto and the AI – two areas where technological innovation quickly exceeds regulatory adaptation.
The White House has not yet confirmed the official date of the transition, but the sources indicate that it should occur in the coming weeks.
