On a 50-45 vote, the US Senate confirmed Jonathan Gould as the head of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC). Previously, he served as a senior deputy comptroller and chief counsel at the OCC from 2018 to 2021.
Gould’s nomination marks a significant change in leadership for key US regulatory bodies. His confirmation aligns with President Trump’s focus on appointing officials who are familiar with the crypto industry and its evolving regulations.
The Senate aims to establish a regulatory structure for digital assets by September 30, 2025. Ongoing efforts include drafting legislation that supports clarity and framework for the burgeoning crypto market.
