If Bessent actually becomes one, he would be the first pro-crypto Treasury Secretary of the United States, as shared by Mathew.

This development, if it sees the reality could bring an effective change in the US government’s approach to cryptocurrencies. Bessent’s potential chance reflects the growing acceptance of digital currencies as part of the mainstream financial and political circles.
