Patrick Witt resigns as head of White House Crypto Council

  • —Witt leaves the government post for the private sector in October 2026
  • —The Senate failed to reach the 60-vote cloture threshold on the Clarity Act in September 2026
  • —David Sacks left in March 2026 and Harry Jung in July 2026; Bo Hines departed in August 2025
  • —The council is left without visible operational leadership pending replacements
Why it matters: The departure and the stalled Clarity Act prolong US regulatory uncertainty, contrasting with the EU's operating MiCA framework.
