Disclosure filings show that Kevin Hassett, a top White House economic adviser under President Trump, held as much as $5 million in Coinbase stock even as the administration reshaped federal crypto policy. The overlap between Hassett's personal financial holdings and his policymaking role has drawn scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest. The disclosure adds to broader debate over how closely tied senior administration officials are to the digital-asset industry as Washington moves to establish clearer crypto regulatory frameworks. Critics argue such holdings raise questions about impartiality in shaping rules that could directly affect the value of officials' personal investments.
