مستشار «الرقمية» يترك منصبه ويتجه للقطاع الخاص

U.S. President Donald Trump's advisor and head of the White House Digital Assets Advisory Council, Bo Hines, announced his departure from his current position and his return to the private sector.

The decision comes less than a year after Hines took on his role in the Trump administration, where he led the working group on cryptocurrencies, which Trump established in January 2025, as part of his electoral promises to reform the U.S. policy towards digital assets.

The working group, led by Hines, issued a statement in late July 2025, with the participation of several administration officials, outlining the White House's position on new legislation regulating the cryptocurrency market, urging the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission to establish rules specific to digital assets.

Last month, Trump signed a law to create a regulatory framework for stablecoins linked to the U.S. dollar, a move seen as paving the way for the adoption of these digital assets as a daily payment method and more widespread financial transfers. Hines supported this law known as the "GENIUS Act."

In a post on the platform "X" (formerly Twitter), Hines said, "Serving in President Trump's administration and working alongside the czar of artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies, David Sachs, has been an unparalleled honor." Sachs, who serves as the White House advisor on artificial intelligence, responded by praising Hines's contributions and his role in shaping digital currency policy.

Hines previously ran for Congress in North Carolina twice without success before joining the Trump administration to lead the regulatory file for digital assets. His transition to the private sector is expected to mark a new phase in his career, while the Trump administration continues to push its agenda to develop the cryptocurrency market in the United States.
