New position would underscore influence industry stands to wield in US government

US President-elect Donald Trump's team is holding discussions with the digital asset industry about whether to create a new White House post solely dedicated to cryptocurrency policy, according to people familiar with the transition efforts.

Trump's team is vetting candidates to serve in such a role, the people said.

If created, it would be the first crypto-specific White House job and would underscore the influence the nascent industry stands to wield in the incoming administration. It is unclear if there will be a senior White House staff position or "crypto czar" - Washington parlance for a point person to oversee policy and regulation across the federal government, the people said.
