TechFlow reports, July 14, according to Crypto in America, White House Chief Crypto Advisor Patrick Witt will depart for the Georgia Army National Guard to participate in JAG (Judge Advocate General) training starting July 27, and is expected to conclude his work at the White House next Friday. The timing of this departure is sensitive, coinciding with Senate Republicans accelerating the crypto market structure legislation "CLARITY Act", striving to complete legislation before Congress recesses in August, otherwise this Congress may miss the window for passage.
Witt previously postponed the training originally scheduled to start in April to continue leading the "CLARITY Act" negotiations, including coordinating core contentious issues such as stablecoin yields, ethics provisions, and law enforcement agency concerns, but a second postponement is no longer possible. During his absence, Deputy Director Harry Jung will take over relevant responsibilities. Witt previously also led important policy issues such as the implementation of the strategic Bitcoin reserve and the enactment of the "GENIUS Act", and whether he will return after the training remains unclear.
