National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett still held vested Coinbase shares worth between $1 million and $5 million at the end of 2025, according to a newly disclosed financial filing. Hassett joined the White House after serving as a Coinbase adviser, and it was not confirmed whether he still owns the stock. He said he is not involved in crypto-related matters under guidance from ethics officials. The Trump administration's digital-assets working group was housed within the National Economic Council, and its final report named Hassett's deputy as the council's representative. Former White House ethics lawyer Virginia Canter told CNBC that the holding raised a "major conflict of interest" concern and questioned whether a broad recusal could have prevented Hassett from participating in a significant portion of the administration's economic agenda. The White House said Hassett remains in "full compliance" with its "ethical requirements," including recusal from crypto-related matters.
