The $Trump transition team is considering establishing a position of White House cryptocurrency czar, a move that has sparked speculation among cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Meanwhile, Bitcoin ($BTC) has reached an all-time high of $98,342, primarily due to unlimited capital inflow and institutional adoption. According to a Bloomberg Law report on November 20, the $Trump team is exploring the idea of a "cryptocurrency czar," marking the first time the White House would have a dedicated position for digital assets. Candidates are currently being screened, and industry executives have met with the $Trump transition team this week. This initiative could indicate a shift in the U.S. government's perspective on cryptocurrencies. Meanwhile, Bitcoin's market capitalization has reached $1.90 trillion, surpassing silver ($1.76 trillion) and Saudi Aramco ($1.79 trillion), making it the seventh most valuable asset in the international market. Bitcoin's rise is largely attributed to U.S. spot ETFs, which have absorbed about 90% of the selling pressure from long-term holders over the past month. Despite long-term holders starting to cash out, ETFs are filling that gap. The proposal for a White House cryptocurrency czar suggests that policymakers are becoming aware of this trend, while Bitcoin continues to set new historical highs, solidifying its position in the digital asset market.
