Appointment of successor to 'White House crypto chief' remains uncertain

It is unclear whether a successor will be appointed for David Sacks, the Trump administration's head of AI and cryptocurrency policy, according to Eleanor Terrett, host of Crypto in America. In a post on X, Terrett noted that while key policies such as the Bitcoin Strategic Reserve and the Crypto Market Structure Act (CLARITY) are moving forward, the appointment of a new "crypto czar" remains uncertain. She added that it is also unclear if Sacks will continue to serve as co-chair of the President's Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST). Terrett stated that she has asked the White House and Sacks for their positions on the matter.
