Gate News reports that a new variable has emerged in the U.S. crypto regulatory landscape. David Sacks has concluded his tenure as the “Crypto and Artificial Intelligence Czar” in the Trump administration. Although he remains within the government system, the role change has raised concerns in the market about the continuity of U.S. digital asset policies.
According to journalist Eleanor Terrett, Sacks’ departure coincides with a critical regulatory milestone. It is not yet clear whether there will be a successor, which makes the prospects for multiple crypto legislations—including the CLARITY Act—uncertain. The act previously made interim progress on the issue of stablecoin yields, with the next review scheduled for April 13, 2026, a key time window believed to be decisive for its future direction.
Meanwhile, the U.S. policy framework around digital assets continues to evolve rapidly. The market had previously expected that regulatory clarity would encourage institutions to further allocate to assets like Bitcoin and provide the industry with a clearer compliance pathway. However, with the weakening of the roles of core policy drivers, the pace of policy advancement may slow in the short term.
It is noteworthy that Sacks has not completely exited the power structure. He has been appointed co-chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST), with responsibilities extending from crypto and artificial intelligence to broader technological issues. Compared to his previous role directly involved in policymaking, the new position is more advisory—mainly providing research and recommendations rather than leading decision-making.
Analysts believe this adjustment could weaken the White House’s centralized coordination capacity on crypto policy, increasing uncertainty in inter-agency negotiations. Until the regulatory path becomes fully clear, the market will continue to monitor legislative progress in mid-April and whether a new policy leader emerges.
