Bitcoin, Tether Bull Howard Lutnick Is Trump's Pick for Commerce Chief—Not Treasury

Donald Trump has selected Wall Street billionaire and Bitcoin bull Howard Lutnick to serve as his Commerce Secretary, reports the Wall Street Journal. By doing so, Trump has rejected the investor’s reported push to run the Treasury Department, a position with far greater sway over the U.S. economy. Running the Department of Commerce is certainly no small prize for Lutnick, who is currently co-chairing Trump’s transition team. As Commerce chief—if confirmed by the U.S. Senate—Lutnick would handle...
