WSJ: Trump meets with Coinbase CEO to discuss personnel appointments

Odaily Planet Daily Report: According to informed sources, the US President-elect Trump will meet with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on Monday. It is reported that the two will discuss personnel issues for the next administration. This meeting will be the first between the two since election day, as Trump is still in the process of appointing cabinet members and other senior positions. Trump was previously a cryptocurrency skeptic, but has now become a supporter of the industry. At the annual Bitcoin conference earlier this year, Trump said that if he won the presidential election, he would appoint a presidential advisory council on Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to design transparent regulatory guidance. Since Trump's victory, Armstrong has publicly discussed who should become the next leader of the US SEC. Armstrong said he believes Trump's SEC commissioner Hester Peirce is the "best candidate".
