US Crypto Czar Steps Down, Transitions to Broader Advisory Role

  • David Sacks has stepped down from his White House crypto advisory role after hitting the 130-day limit, ending a short tenure that left key digital assets legislation unfinished. 
  • He will continue advising the administration as co-chair of the new President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology, focusing on a broader range of tech issues.

David Sacks revealed he’s finished his stint as US President Donald Trump’s top crypto and AI advisor, in light of a recent announcement that the former ‘crypto czar’ will co-chair a new council tasked with shaping US innovation policy.

Sacks told Bloomberg on March 27 that he’d reached the allowed limit for being retained by the White House as a ‘special government employee’ (SGE).

“In the first year of the Trump administration I had a role as an SGE. I had 130 days, we’ve now used up that time,” Sacks said.

Sacks is a prominent entrepreneur and venture capitalist, part of the so-called ‘PayPal Mafia’. He’s been a driving force behind the crypto market structure bill (a.k.a. CLARITY Act), which has yet to be passed into law and is still being hotly debated. 

In January, Cardano founder Charles Hoskinson called for David Sacks to resign if the CLARITY Act hadn’t passed within the first quarter of 2026, due to “utterly failing” the crypto industry.

Sacks was appointed on March 26 as Co-Chair of the new President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), and said the new role would be how he would be involved in the administration going forward.

I can now make recommendations on not just AI but an expanded range of technology topics.

Thirteen tech leaders were tapped on the shoulder to join PCAST, including Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang — and from the crypto sector, Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam. 

The panel is designed to gather evidence and make policy recommendations on science, technology, and innovation policy. Sacks said topics of interest to the group would include artificial intelligence (AI), advanced semiconductors, quantum computing and nuclear power.

Sacks Pushes National AI Controls

Sacks told Bloomberg that PCAST would push forward the President’s recently released National AI Legislative Framework. Non-partisan US think tank Brookings said the AI Framework “signals a troubling shift away from safe, accountable AI toward rapid, private-sector-driven deployment.”

Sacks argues it’s essential to “create one rulebook for AI in the US.”

The problem that we’re seeing right now is that you’ve got 50 different states regulating this in 50 different ways, and it’s creating a patchwork of regulation that’s difficult for innovators to comply with.

“I think there’s actually a very good chance that you’ll see Congress now act on this framework and will get some meaningful legislation again,” Sacks said.

It’s a familiar line from Sacks — he’s thought to have largely written a Presidential executive order signed in November 2025 to block US states from regulating AI — something that Sacks’ Silicon Valley peers, including OpenAI execs, had been loudly clamouring for. 

At the time, Sacks said a single federal standard was essential to avoid a state-based “confusing patchwork of regulation.” Whereas Democrats called it a move designed to curry favour with Big Tech CEOs.

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be

The post Why The Green Bay Packers Must Take The Cleveland Browns Seriously — As Hard As That Might Be appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Jordan Love and the Green Bay Packers are off to a 2-0 start. Getty Images The Green Bay Packers are, once again, one of the NFL’s better teams. The Cleveland Browns are, once again, one of the league’s doormats. It’s why unbeaten Green Bay (2-0) is a 8-point favorite at winless Cleveland (0-2) Sunday according to betmgm.com. The money line is also Green Bay -500. Most expect this to be a Packers’ rout, and it very well could be. But Green Bay knows taking anyone in this league for granted can prove costly. “I think if you look at their roster, the paper, who they have on that team, what they can do, they got a lot of talent and things can turn around quickly for them,” Packers safety Xavier McKinney said. “We just got to kind of keep that in mind and know we not just walking into something and they just going to lay down. That’s not what they going to do.” The Browns certainly haven’t laid down on defense. Far from. Cleveland is allowing an NFL-best 191.5 yards per game. The Browns gave up 141 yards to Cincinnati in Week 1, including just seven in the second half, but still lost, 17-16. Cleveland has given up an NFL-best 45.5 rushing yards per game and just 2.1 rushing yards per attempt. “The biggest thing is our defensive line is much, much improved over last year and I think we’ve got back to our personality,” defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz said recently. “When we play our best, our D-line leads us there as our engine.” The Browns rank third in the league in passing defense, allowing just 146.0 yards per game. Cleveland has also gone 30 straight games without allowing a 300-yard passer, the longest active streak in the NFL.…
