Patrick Witt’s tenure as the White House’s top crypto adviser ended in mid‑October 2026, according to multiple industry sources.
His departure creates a leadership gap in the White House Crypto Council and represents the fourth high‑profile exit from the advisory group within a short period.
The resignation comes while the CLARITY Act, a proposed cryptocurrency legislation, remains stalled in the U.S. Senate, leaving the policy agenda without its principal executive liaison.
The leadership void could slow coordination between the administration and industry stakeholders, potentially delaying further regulatory guidance or legislative initiatives related to digital assets.
Market participants may watch for a new appointment to the council or any statements from the White House indicating how the administration intends to maintain momentum on crypto policy.
