Donald Trump, the President-elect of the United States, has appointed 29-year-old Bo Hines as the executive director of the Presidential Advisory Council on Digital Assets. Hines, who will work alongside David Sacks as the head of digital currencies and artificial intelligence, was previously a Republican congressional candidate in North Carolina. This appointment, aimed at enhancing innovation and growth in the digital assets sector, reflects the future Trump administration’s keen interest in digital currency policymaking. Hines secured the Republican nomination in the 2022 elections but was defeated in the primaries.
