Scott Bessent, Trump Treasury Secretary nominee: Excited about the president's acceptance of cryptocurrency

Odaily Planet Daily reported that FOX Business reporter Eleanor Terrett wrote on X that one of the candidates for US Treasury Secretary being considered by Trump, billionaire hedge fund investor Scott Bessent, is very supportive of cryptocurrencies, especially Bitcoin. Some of his recent statements are as follows: "I am excited about the president accepting cryptocurrencies, I think it fits very well with the Republican Party, cryptocurrencies represent freedom, and the cryptocurrency economy will continue to exist. I think everything about Bitcoin is being discussed. One of the most exciting things about Bitcoin is that it attracts young people and those who have not previously participated in the market. Cultivating a market culture in the United States that makes people believe in a system that suits them is the core of capitalism." Yesterday, sources revealed that Trump plans to narrow down the list of candidates for US Treasury Secretary this week and is inclined to have someone with a Wall Street background take on this position. The list of Treasury Secretary candidates includes Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, hedge fund billionaire John Paulson, former George Soros fund manager Scott Bessent, and former Carlyle Group executive and Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin.
