BlockBeats News, November 15th. According to The Block report, U.S. President-elect Trump has nominated Bitcoin-supporter Robert Kennedy Jr. as the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS). Robert Kennedy Jr. advocated for the establishment of a Bitcoin strategic reserve during the 2024 presidential campaign, aiming to stabilize the U.S. dollar and exempt Bitcoin capital gains tax, with part of his personal wealth invested in Bitcoin. Trump stated in his announcement that Kennedy will "restore America's health," focusing on eliminating corruption in industrial food and drugs.

In addition, key cryptocurrency supporters within the Trump team include Vice President-elect JD Vance and Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth. It is worth noting that Tesla CEO Musk and entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy will co-lead the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, "DOGE." Furthermore, there are market rumors that Robinhood's Chief Legal Officer Dan Gallagher may take over as the Chairman of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, replacing the current tough stance on the crypto industry by Gary Gensler.
