Trump advisory council draws Coinbase co-founder, tech leaders
The council, co-chaired by White House AI and crypto czar David Sacks and science advisor Michael Kratsios, include Mark Zuckberg, Larry Ellison and Jensen Huang.
President-elect Donald Trump has assembled a high-profile advisory council featuring prominent figures from the cryptocurrency and technology sectors. The council will be co-chaired by David Sacks, Trump's newly appointed White House AI and crypto czar, alongside science advisor Michael Kratsios. Notable members include Coinbase co-founder Brian Armstrong, Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Oracle Chairman Larry Ellison, and NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.
The formation of this advisory body signals Trump's commitment to establishing closer ties with the tech industry, particularly in emerging areas like artificial intelligence and digital assets. Sacks, a veteran Silicon Valley investor and entrepreneur, will play a dual role overseeing both AI and cryptocurrency policy initiatives. His appointment alongside Kratsios, who previously served in Trump's first administration, suggests continuity in the administration's approach to technology policy.
The inclusion of major industry leaders could significantly influence regulatory approaches toward cryptocurrencies and AI development. Armstrong's presence on the council is particularly noteworthy for the crypto sector, as Coinbase has been at the forefront of pushing for clearer digital asset regulations. The participation of tech giants like Meta, Oracle, and NVIDIA may also shape policies affecting their respective sectors and business interests.
Industry observers will be monitoring how this advisory council's recommendations translate into concrete policy proposals and regulatory frameworks for both cryptocurrency and artificial intelligence sectors.
