Brian Armstrong of Coinbase has been proposed as the best candidate for the cryptocurrency policy position in Trump's second administration

ChainCatcher news, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson suggested Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong as the best candidate for the proposed cryptocurrency policy position in Donald Trump's second administration. In a post on X on November 20, Hoskinson outlined the key qualifications for the "crypto czar," emphasizing neutrality, cross-protocol collaboration, and a solid grasp of the unique values of cryptocurrency. Hoskinson believes that Armstrong's leadership at Coinbase makes him an ideal choice. Under Armstrong's leadership, Coinbase has become the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States and one of the first publicly listed cryptocurrency companies:

"Coinbase has grown to be one of the pillars of the cryptocurrency industry and has had to endure the unfair tactics of the government to impose regulation through enforcement. I know Armstrong can build a broad tent coalition to unite the entire industry and help us get the government to come together to take real action, including through new legislation."
