Lutnick likes bitcoin as a commodity:  "I am a fan of crypto, but let me be very specific: bitcoin, just bitcoin. These other coins, they are just not a thing," he told CNBC in a podcast last year, adding: "I'm a big fan of this stablecoin called tether."

Lutnick has argued bitcoin should be treated as a commodity — meaning it would face less regulation than, say, stocks or bonds — and is superior to other cryptocurrencies given its lack of central authority and censorship-resistant properties.

The 63-year-old is a long-time friend of Trump, a fellow New Yorker. Lutnick is already co-chair of the Trump transition team.
