White House Discusses Whether Lutnick Stays as Commerce Secretary

For crypto and RWA markets, the Commerce Department's leadership matters because it sits at the intersection of trade policy and digital-asset rulemaking, so any uncertainty at the top introduces a variable into an already opaque policy pipeline. The signal here is less about Lutnick personally than about continuity: personnel deliberations inside the White House can slow or redirect departmental workstreams before any formal change is announced. Whether the discussion resolves without a departure, and whether it distracts from the department's digital-asset agenda, is the open question worth tracking.
