TREE NEWS update: Patrick Witt has left his role as executive director of the White House crypto council after his secondment term expired, the White House confirmed by email. An official thanked Witt for his contributions to the Trump administration and wished him well. The confirmation followed three unanswered inquiries over the past week about whether Witt still held the post.
White House crypto council executive director Patrick Witt departs as secondment ends
The quiet confirmation, arriving only after repeated unanswered inquiries, suggests the departure was not proactively announced — a detail worth noting for anyone tracking how the administration manages crypto-policy personnel news. Witt's exit leaves the council's executive direction unspecified at a moment when the White House's crypto posture is still being defined. Who steps in, and whether the council's work continues at the same tempo, is the open question.
