Pro-crypto political appointments in the US have created a “space race”-like excitement that the country could play a major role in the digital asset industry. Ari Redbord of TRM Labs assessed the situation on CNBC. Redbord noted that since Trump’s election victory, important pro-crypto appointments have been made in federal agencies. The appointments of Scott Bessent as Treasury Secretary, Paul Atkins as SEC Chairman, and David Sacks as White House “crypto czar” are particularly notable. These developments, combined with the increasing use of Bitcoin and stablecoins in payments, suggest that the US could play a leading role in the crypto space. Share your views in the comments.
