President-elect Donald Trump has nominated pro-crypto Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz to serve as the next Attorney General of the United States. The appointment is seen as a signal that Trump’s second term will prioritize a pro-crypto agenda, which could lead to even deeper divisions within his own party.
Gaetz’s nomination follows the Republican Party’s success in the 2024 elections, where pro-crypto candidates secured majorities in both the House and Senate. However, his confrontational approach and limited legal experience are causing skepticism among some senators. Gaetz has previously advocated for deregulating the crypto industry and introduced legislation to allow Americans to pay their federal taxes using Bitcoin.
Despite the enthusiasm from the crypto sector, Gaetz faces a tough confirmation battle due to his past legal troubles and ethics review in the House. However, the prospect of having a pro-Bitcoin attorney general is being seen as a significant win for the crypto industry.
