Less than two weeks before Trump's inauguration, crypto executives are vying for access to Trump himself and seats on the planned cryptocurrency advisory council, which is expected to be formed soon after Trump takes office. According to people familiar with the matter, industry insiders intend to use the council, which is likely to consist of about two dozen CEOs and founders, to influence the new administration's digital asset policy.
According to people familiar with the matter, most of the likely appointees have developed relationships with Trump and have visited him in recent months. Trump and his inner circle, including incoming White House artificial intelligence and cryptocurrency expert David Sacks, are still weighing potential appointees. Since Trump's re-election in November, Mar-a-Lago has hosted a large number of crypto industry figures, including Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong, and others. In addition, Circle, Coinbase, Kraken, Ondo, and other companies have all pledged to donate to Trump's inauguration.

Previously, it was reported that the crypto industry will host a ball to celebrate the inauguration of Trump and Vance on January 17, hosted by BTC Inc. and Stand With Crypto, and hosted by BTC Inc. and Stand With Crypto.
