The White House's crypto chief departs: State of Crypto

Summary

Patrick Witt, the latest White House adviser on digital assets, is leaving government for the private sector. No successor has been publicly named, following the earlier departures of Harry Jung and Bo Hines. The White House says crypto policy and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act remain priorities, but the vacancy raises questions about coordination as agencies continue rulemaking and lawmakers prepare for renewed crypto legislation next year.
