White House crypto council chief Patrick Witt steps down

Summary

Patrick Witt, executive director of the White House Crypto Council and a leading adviser on the stalled Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, is leaving for a private-sector role. His departure leaves the council without its last remaining staffer. The Senate failed to advance the bill in September, and further progress this session is considered unlikely. The White House has not said whether it will appoint a replacement.
