WH Advisor Patrick Witt: Davos 2026 Was ‘Turning Point’ for Global Crypto Normalization

White House advisor Patrick Witt told CoinDesk that the World Economic Forum in Davos 2026 was a turning point for normalizing digital assets. He reiterated the administration’s pledge to make the United States the “crypto capital of the world” and to foster a symbiotic relationship between traditional finance and crypto innovators. Congressional action is moving forward, with the Senate Agriculture Committee slated to markup the market‑structure portion of digital‑asset legislation on Jan 29, while the Banking Committee’s schedule remains uncertain. Witt also hinted that a crypto‑tax package will follow once the market‑structure bill clears, emphasizing that stablecoin rewards can benefit consumers through increased choice.
