Bo Hines, who was appointed in December 2024 as Executive Director of the White House’s President’s Council of Advisers for Digital Assets, has resigned from his role as of August 9, 2025. During his short but active three-month tenure, Hines held over 150 meetings with industry leaders, worked on shaping early U.S. crypto regulations, and aimed to strengthen the country’s leadership in digital assets. He stepped down to return to the private sector but will continue to serve as a special government employee, advising on artificial intelligence alongside crypto czar David Sacks. His deputy, Patrick Witt, is expected to take over as Executive Director. While Witt has experience in defense and public service, his lack of a crypto background has raised questions about potential changes in policy direction. Hines’s departure signals the end of a fast-paced, foundational phase for the Crypto Council, though his continued advisory role means he will still have influence on related policy developments.
