Tether Appoints Former White House Crypto Council Director Bo Hines as U.S. Strategy Advisor

Tether has named Bo Hines, the former executive director of the White House crypto Council under President Donald Trump, as its strategic advisor for Digital Assets and U.S. Strategy. The appointment, effective immediately, signals Tether's intent to deepen its engagement with U.S. regulators and expand its market presence.

Hines will collaborate with Tether's leadership on policy strategy, focusing on regulatory coordination and domestic infrastructure investments. CEO Paolo Ardoino emphasized the MOVE as part of a broader push to strengthen the company's foothold in the U.S. amid evolving stablecoin legislation.

The hire reflects an industry-wide trend of crypto firms recruiting former policymakers to navigate complex regulatory landscapes. With Congress considering stablecoin frameworks, Tether's strategic positioning could prove pivotal for its future operations.
