Trump appoints two crypto fanatics into advisory team

United States of America President-elect, Donald Trump, has iterated his commitment to economic recovery through cryptocurrency, unveiling two major appointments to his economic advisory team next month.

In his X handle earlier today, Trump announced the appointment of a former college football player and cryptocurrency enthusiast, Bo Hines, as the Executive Director of the Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets.

He has identified with the crypto community since he declared intentions to reconnect the election in 2022, and has hitherto been making favourable policy statements to the crypto investment community.

While addressing the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville in July, he said he would turn the United States into the “crypto capital of the planet and the superpower of the world” if elected the 45th President of the country.

According to Trump, Hines’ appointment and several others would enhance a conducive environment for the technology sector to further be a catalyst for the country’s development and growth.
