The first members of Coinbase’s Global Advisory Council will include former US Senator Pat Toomey, former US Congressman Tim Ryan, and former US Congressman Sean Maloney. The former US lawmakers will be joined by top political strategist John Anzalone and Haun Ventures’ Chief Strategy Officer Chris Lehane.
The Global Advisory Council will provide insights and strategic expertise to Coinbase’s senior management as they make their way through the regulatory hurdles in pursuit of global expansion and crypto access for all. In the coming weeks, Coinbase will add leaders from the United States and abroad to bring additional perspectives to the Council.
“The Advisory Council will strengthen our efforts with stakeholders across the community as we seek to responsibly deploy crypto to help make the financial system more open, accessible, and fair,” Coinbase stated.
In addition to guiding Coinbase’s leadership team, the new council will also work with the existing Coinbase Asset Management Academic and Regulatory Advisory Council, which features former SEC Chairman Jay Clayton and Former CIA General Counsel Courtney Elwood, among several others.
