US President Donald Trump is forming a crypto advisory board, and potential candidates for the board are being debated. Some prominent potential candidates include Ripple co-founder Brad Garlinghouse, Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong. It has been suggested that former SEC official William Hinman, known for his 2018 speech about Bitcoin and Ethereum, will be on the board. However, there is controversy surrounding Hinman's political stance, with journalist Laura Loomer pointing out his donations to Biden and Hillary Clinton. This has divided the crypto community, with some seeing Hinman's change in stance as an opportunity for positive policies and others viewing him as an opportunist. In 2018, Hinman stated that Bitcoin and Ethereum were not securities.
