Patrick Witt Leaves White House Crypto Council for Private Sector

  • —Witt led the White House Crypto Council and pushed the CLARITY Act
  • —The CLARITY Act failed a Senate procedural vote in September 2026
  • —Witt was the last staffer: Sacks left in March, Jung in July, Hines in August 2025
  • —Witt did not disclose his next employer, saying he will continue the mission privately
Why it matters: The exit of the council's last senior staffer leaves US crypto policy coordination uncertain as the CLARITY Act remains stalled in the Senate.
