Appointments Closed. Gould and McKerner- The Two Final Sentinels of Trump’s Pro-Crypto Regulatory Committee

With the selection of Jonathan Gould, President Trump’s pro-crypto regulatory committee is now complete. The last two members to join are Jonathan McKernan and Gould Jonathan.  

Gould Jonathan 

Gould is a prime lawyer at the office of the Currency Comptroller. Deservingly, he is nominated by the President to become the next chairperson of the OCC. He has previously worked as the legal advisor to the body and as a deputy Comptroller. Therefore, he has loads of experience in handling the federal banking parameters.  

Gould’s experience portfolio does not end here. He has experience of working as a legal head at BitFury. Hence, he certainly knows how to make the banking system work in favor of crypto trade. Once appointed as the new Comptroller in charge, he will be emphasizing new guidelines to make banking transactions of crypto smoother.  

Jonathan McKernan  

This other guy is reputed for handling duties at the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. He was also one of the primary advisors to the treasury department and worked closely with Senator Pat Toomey.  

President’s Other Plans 

Donald Trump wants to unite some functions of the OCC with that of the FDIC. That said, The WSJ notes that he is also levying a change in leadership across several federal agencies. His list of favorites comprises of people who have contributed directly or indirectly to crypto and other digital assets.  

Meanwhile, his prime motive can be setting up watchdog centers to control the trade, hands-making trading norms and protocols as easy as it can be. This testament to building a digital approach gathered applause from several globalization leaders. 

What To Expect Now? 

The market can expect a lot from this pro-crypto motive of the president. The Congress feels that the inflation level will now be within check once the digital assets trade takes off. Secondly, Crypto can be an easier and more profitable mode of micro-retail payment in the US.  

This crypto boon is well anticipated. But how will it favor the Crypto community? Once the officers take charge, they will have to create transparent SOPs and optimize areas that need attention. To begin with, they can lay off the orthodox banking policy that intimidates crypto transactions in a loop of regulatory protocol.
