President-elect Donald Trump is meeting with the CEO of cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase Monday, according to people familiar with the matter. The duo is expected to discuss personnel appointments for his second administration.

The meeting between Trump and Brian Armstrong would mark the first time the two have met since Election Day and comes as Trump continues to fill out his cabinet and other senior posts. Trump, formerly a crypto skeptic, has turned into a vocal supporter of the industry.

While speaking at the annual bitcoin conference earlier this year, Trump said he would appoint a bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council tasked with designing transparent regulatory guidance if he won the presidential race.
