Odaily News: Tyler Williams, the senior official responsible for digital asset policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has departed. He previously served as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's primary crypto advisor and was involved in shaping the Trump administration's digital asset agenda.
Bessent confirmed that Williams' last working day at the Treasury was last Friday. Williams joined the Treasury in early 2025, having previously served as Head of Policy at Galaxy Digital, and is expected to return to the private sector.
Williams' departure comes amid an ongoing stalemate in Congress over the CLARITY Act for digital asset market clarity. The market structure bill has faced hurdles in advancing before lawmakers' August recess due to disagreements over federal official ethics provisions.
