Patrick Witt leaves White House amid CLARITY Act deadlock

Patrick Witt has left his position as executive director of the White House Crypto Council after his temporary government assignment expired on October 14, leaving another leadership vacancy as the administration’s cryptocurrency legislation remains stalled in the U.S. Senate.

The White House did not announce who would take over his responsibilities.
