Patrick Witt, the Executive Director of the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets, has announced his departure from the White House and will return to the private sector. His exit leaves the council without a publicly named crypto head, raising questions about the future focus on digital asset policymaking. A White House official indicated that crypto and the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act would remain priorities, but with Witt's departure and previous exits of other advisers, the direction of these efforts is uncertain. The White House will need to navigate upcoming crypto legislation amidst a potentially hostile Congress and ongoing regulatory efforts.
