Trump will discuss appointment with Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong

BlockBeats News, November 19th, according to The Wall Street Journal, sources revealed that U.S. President-elect Trump will meet with Brian Armstrong, the CEO of the cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase on Monday. It is understood that the two will discuss personnel matters for the next administration.

Trump and Brian Armstrong's meeting will be the first since Election Day, with Trump still in the process of appointing cabinet members and other senior positions. Trump was previously a cryptocurrency skeptic but has now become a supporter of the industry. Earlier this year at the annual Bitcoin conference, Trump stated that if he won the presidential election, he would appoint a Bitcoin and cryptocurrency Presidential Advisory Council to develop transparent regulatory guidance.

Since Trump's victory, Brian Armstrong has openly discussed who should be the next leader of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Brian Armstrong stated that he believes Trump's SEC Commissioner Hester Peirce is the "best choice." (Jinse Finance)
