Bo Hines, the Executive Director of the White House Crypto Council, announced his resignation after serving approximately seven months in the role. Hines is stepping down to return to the private sector but will continue to contribute as a special government employee, focusing on artificial intelligence initiatives alongside David Sacks. Patrick Witt, the current deputy director, is expected to succeed Hines as the head of the council. Hines previously worked as a partner at a growth equity firm before joining the Trump administration. His departure comes weeks ahead of anticipated updates to the administration's digital asset policies.
