Ex White House crypto director Bo Hines takes Tether advisory role

Stablecoin giant Tether has hired former White House Crypto Council Executive Director, Bo Hines, as its new strategic advisor for digital assets and US Strategy, signaling a push to expand in the world’s largest economy.

Tether, the issuer of the USDt (USDT) stablecoin, appointed Hines to directly engage and coordinate the firm’s US strategy and expansion as part of its core focus with immediate effect, according to a Tuesday announcement shared with Cointelegraph.

Hines previously served in President Donald Trump’s administration, where he worked on initiatives to foster digital asset innovation, set guardrails for stablecoin issuers and develop collaboration between government and the blockchain industry.

In his new role, Hines will collaborate with Tether’s leadership team to execute its US market entry and cultivate “constructive relationships” with policymakers and industry stakeholders.

Hines’ “deep understanding of the legislative process, combined with his passion for practical blockchain adoption, makes him an invaluable asset as Tether enters the biggest market in the world,” said Paolo Ardoino, the CEO of Tether, adding:

“Bo’s appointment demonstrates our commitment to building a strong U.S.-based presence that spans across multiple sectors, starting with digital assets and expanding to new opportunities, including a deep focus on potential further investments in domestic infrastructure.”

Tether Investments has already reinvested nearly $5 billion in the US economy. Hines’ addition aims to “reinforce” this commitment and alignment to the US market, the announcement said.
