Odaily Planet Daily News: Tyler Williams, a senior official responsible for digital asset policy at the U.S. Department of the Treasury, has departed. He previously served as the primary crypto advisor to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent 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 continued gridlock in Congress over the CLARITY Act for digital asset market clarity. The market structure bill has faced obstacles in advancing before lawmakers' August recess due to disagreements over federal ethics provisions.
