TechFlow news — On November 12, according to The Washington Post, President-elect Donald Trump is preparing for the U.S. government to adopt a more lenient stance toward cryptocurrencies. He is identifying candidates favorable to the crypto industry for key positions, while his senior advisers are consulting crypto executives on potential changes to federal policies.
Initial discussions have focused on a range of financial regulatory agencies, including the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). According to five people familiar with the matter, Trump’s advisers have considered placing current regulators, former federal officials, and financial industry executives into major leadership roles—many of whom have publicly expressed support for cryptocurrencies. They cautioned that the process is still in its early stages and that the candidate list remains fluid.
