Trump meets with Coinbase CEO to discuss personnel appointments
ChainCatcher news, informed sources revealed that U.S. 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.
The meeting between Trump and Armstrong will be their first since election day, as Trump continues to appoint cabinet members and other senior positions. Earlier this year at the annual Bitcoin conference, Trump stated that if he wins the presidential election, he will appoint a presidential advisory council on Bitcoin and cryptocurrency to design transparent regulatory guidance. Since Trump's victory, Armstrong has publicly discussed who should be the next leader of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Armstrong stated that he believes Trump's SEC commissioner Hester Peirce is the "best candidate."
