Former SEC official William Hinman, known for his role in shaping crypto regulations, is reportedly aligning himself with Donald Trump's crypto advisory board. This move is surprising given his past political leanings and regulatory stance. Hinman's history is closely tied to the regulatory framework of the crypto industry and he has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest. Critics accuse him of favoring Ethereum while leaving other cryptocurrencies in a regulatory gray area. Hinman's recent attendance at a pro-crypto event celebrating Trump's stance has fueled speculation about his intentions. Some see his insider knowledge as valuable, while others view him as an opportunist. Crypto's intersection with politics remains unpredictable.
