President-elect Donald Trump has appointed Bo Hines, a former football player, as the chairman of the virtual asset committee.
According to CoinTelegraph on the 22nd (local time), the President-elect Trump appointed Hines as the head of the virtual asset committee of the next administration. The President-elect said on Truth Social that "Hines will work with David Sachs, the next 'Cryptocurrency and AI Czar', to create an environment where the virtual asset industry can thrive, and will promote innovation and growth of digital assets in the virtual asset committee", and "will strive to secure the resources needed for virtual asset industry leaders to succeed".
Hines received political funding from a pro-virtual asset political action committee (PAC) and former FTX CEO Ryan Salame, and ran as a Republican candidate for the North Carolina State House in 2022, but lost. He later ran for the North Carolina State House again this year, but failed to secure the Republican nomination.
