Tyler Williams, a senior U.S. Treasury official focused on digital asset policy, has left the department, according to Odaily. Williams served as Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s main crypto adviser and took part in shaping the Trump administration’s digital asset agenda. Bessent said Williams’ final day at the Treasury was last Friday. Williams joined the department in early 2025 after previously serving as head of policy at Galaxy Digital, and he is expected to return to the private sector. His departure comes as Congress remains deadlocked over the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, or CLARITY Act. Progress on the market structure bill has been held up ahead of lawmakers’ August recess because of disagreements over ethics provisions for federal officials.
