Weighing in on rumblings around a potential Trump-appointed crypto czar, popular entrepreneur Kevin O’Leary called on whoever’s nominated to put an end to regulatory indecision.

“We’ve got to stop these shenanigans because this is a technology that affects all 11 sectors of the economy,” O’Leary said Thursday on “Fox & Friends.”

“It provides efficiency and digital payment systems. And we have to be competitive worldwide.”

According to industry sources familiar with the discussions, President-elect Trump is mulling a position dedicated solely to cryptocurrency policy. It’s unclear whether the role would be a czar type or a White House staff role, but the official holding the position would interact with regulators, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Two names that come to O’Leary’s mind are former acting U.S. Comptroller of the Currency Brian Brooks and Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong.

“Brian, of Coinbase, he’s being sued by [SEC Chair Gary] Gensler right now. His company is under litigation from the SEC,” the O’Leary Ventures CEO noted.

“We need a czar here, and we need to start making decisions. Is Ethereum a commodity, or is it a security? Pick one and go with it. I don’t care which one it is, but we’ve got to at least pick it,” he added. “We haven’t done that yet.”

The president-elect campaigned heavily among pro-crypto voters, making a stop at crypto bar PubKey in New York City and speaking at the Bitcoin 2024 conference in Nashville, Tennessee, just weeks before Election Day.

Bitcoin, the largest cryptocurrency by market value, touched a new all-time high of $94,000 in afternoon trading Wednesday and has advanced over 156% from its 52-week low of $36,815.63 in November 2023, as tracked by Dow Jones Market Data Group.

The surge in price has lifted crypto exchange-traded funds, driving the assets of the largest, iShares Bitcoin Trust, to over $40 billion and lifting it to a record high.

Other bitcoin ETFs are also seeing high interest.

Ford is recalling nearly 25,000 trucks because of a problem that could make the rearview camera system malfunction.  

The automaker said water “may enter the Tailgate Park Assist Sensor Interface Module” and lead to a malfunction of the rearview camera image display in 24,950 of its 2023-2024 F-250, F-350 and F-450 trucks. 

All the potentially affected trucks feature a tailgate top camera that “provides additional camera images when the tailgate is down and is a separate camera from the primary rear-view camera,” Ford said in a Oct. 25 recall report submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

The recall report indicated the problem stemmed from “certain mating interfaces” of the tailgate top camera being “out of tolerance” and the camera bracket “retain[ing] water” during the application.

In the event that the issue occurs, the rearview camera image may show up as “blue or black” or only work “intermittently,” things that could pose a safety issue due to reduced driver visibility, according to the report.

According to the recall report, owners of the recalled trucks can get their tailgate top camera, wire harness and TPASIM module swapped out at a Ford or Lincoln dealership for free. Their “Image Processing Module A” will receive a software update too, it said.

“Pick-up and delivery will be available at participating dealerships,” a Ford spokesperson told FOX Business. “We’re also working through other potential options that would make completing this recall as convenient as possible for our customers.”
