President-elect Donald Trump is considering nominating Scott Bessent as the new Secretary of the Treasury. Previously, investor John Paulson announced his withdrawal from the candidate list due to complex personal financial matters. Bessent has a positive attitude towards cryptocurrency, stating that "cryptocurrency is about freedom," and believes that Bitcoin can attract young people and new investors, helping to cultivate the market culture in the United States. A Forbes reporter pointed out that Bessent's appointment may signal a more favorable future for cryptocurrency regulation in the U.S., and Trump has also pledged to make the U.S. the "global cryptocurrency capital," planning to fire SEC Chairman Gary Gensler on his first day in office.
