Carole House, a key contributor to President Joe Biden’s 2022 executive order on crypto and digital assets, has rejoined the administration as a special adviser on the National Security Council. Her return comes as Biden’s administration increases its focus on the digital assets sector.
House previously held roles at the Commodities and Futures Trading Commission and the National Security Council. Her new role involves shaping policies crucial to the security of digital economies. Dave Grimaldi from the Blockchain Association praised her pragmatic approach, highlighting her expertise.
