Trump Appoints Jay Clayton to Lead New Super Intelligence Force
(3 hours ago) · 1 source · Summarized by CryptoBipto
Former SEC Chair Jay Clayton has reportedly been tapped by President Trump to lead a newly created entity called the Super Intelligence Force.

His move into a new intelligence-focused role is notable because it shows how people who shaped early crypto regulation continue to hold influential government positions, even if this new role may not directly involve crypto policy.
