Chairman & CEO, JPMorgan Chase

Made Bitcoin legal tender in 2021, renegotiated the experiment under IMF pressure in 2024 — and kept stacking coins for the state reserve anyway.

Co-founder, Craft Ventures; former White House AI & Crypto Czar
Make America the crypto capital: clear rules of the road and dollar-backed stablecoins as a weapon of dollar dominance.
As crypto czar he drove the GENIUS Act stablecoin framework, casting crypto regulation-with-clarity as the start of a 'golden age of digital assets' that extends US dollar power globally.
