Foresight News reports, according to The Washington Post, that U.S. President-elect Trump is preparing to take a more lenient stance on cryptocurrencies. He is looking for key candidates for positions that are friendly to the crypto industry, while his senior advisors are consulting with crypto executives on potential changes to federal policy. Early discussions have focused on a range of financial regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to five informed sources, Trump's advisors have considered appointing current regulatory officials, former federal officials, and financial industry executives to important leadership positions, many of whom have publicly expressed support for cryptocurrencies. However, they warned that the discussion process is still in its early stages and the candidate list is still changing.
