After just 10 days on the job hunt, Bo Hines has found a new employer.
The 29-year-old North Carolinian, who previously led the White House’s crypto council as executive director, has joined stablecoin behemoth Tether as the company’s strategic advisor for the US.
Hines played a key role in crafting the various crypto initiatives that have defined much of US President Donald Trump’s second term, including landmark stablecoin legislation.
That positions the Yale graduate as a key player in Tether’s plans to enter the US market.
“Bo Hines’ appointment signals a serious US push,” Callum Clark, co-founder of tokenisation platform Alvara Protocol, told DL News.
“Pairing policy fluency with practical blockchain rollout is exactly what stablecoins need as they scale in the world’s largest market.”
Tether did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company is the crypto industry’s largest stablecoin provider, with its USDT token boasting more than $167 billion in value and making up more than 60% of the entire stablecoin market, according to DefiLlama.
