Trump appointees to be scrutinized for potential conflicts of interest in crypto, with some already pledging to sell holdings

Donald Trump, the elected President of the United States, is about to take office, and a series of cryptocurrency supporters and holders promoted by him will soon affect the US cryptocurrency policy. The cryptocurrency industry has been struggling with lawsuits and law enforcement actions by the US government for many years, so it hopes that the Trump administration, which is about to take office, will bring about a change in policy. Politicians appointed by Trump will be reviewed for potential conflicts of interest with the cryptocurrency industry, and some have already pledged to sell their positions.
