Kevin Hassett, a National Economic Council director, held between $1 million and $5 million in Coinbase shares at the end of 2025, with filings showing he had not fully divested nearly 11 months into Trump’s second term. After Trump created a crypto markets working group at the NEC, the White House said recusal continues, raising questions about conflicts and whether it limited Hassett’s role in policy priorities.
