President-elect Donald Trump plans to deliver on his pro-crypto promises by seeking candidates with crypto-friendly views for key federal positions. His administration aims to shape policies that promote digital asset adoption and a more relaxed regulatory approach to cryptocurrencies.

According to The Washington Post, the incoming administration is evaluating policies and personnel to achieve Trump’s goal of making the United States the “crypto capital of the planet.” His advisors are actively discussing strategies to introduce industry-friendly policies.
