White House leaves crypto council head post vacant as Witt departs

Patrick Witt, who served as executive director of the White House Crypto Council, has stepped down from his post, leaving President Donald Trump’s digital asset team without a senior lead amid critical policy discussions. Witt, on temporary assignment from the Defense Department, was heading the President’s Council of Advisors for Digital Assets. A White House official confirmed to The Block that Witt’s assignment, referred to as a “detail,” has ended, and extended thanks for his service. No successor has been named for the position, resulting in a leadership vacancy as the administration navigates unresolved crypto regulation matters.
