As regulatory uncertainty looms, Coinbase is beefing up its advisory team, bringing in four former top officials from the political and financial sectors.

The company confirmed the appointments in a January 29 blog post, highlighting their role in guiding Coinbase’s long-term strategy at a defining moment for the crypto industry.

The latest additions to Coinbase’s Global Advisory Board bring a mix of political and financial expertise:

  • Kyrsten Sinema, former senator, recognized for her role in shaping bipartisan infrastructure policies.
  • Chris LaCivita, key strategist behind Trump’s victorious 2024 campaign and now RNC Chief of Staff.
  • Bill Dudley, former head of the New York Fed, an expert in financial policy and market stability.
  • Luis Alberto Moreno, ex-President of the Inter-American Development Bank, specializing in international finance.

With the latest additions to its advisory board, Coinbase aims to deepen its engagement with regulators and policymakers while continuing to advocate for crypto adoption and fair industry regulations.

This move is part of Coinbase’s broader strategy to influence crypto legislation, including multi-million-dollar contributions to Fairshake PAC, a political group that supports pro-crypto candidates.

The exchange has also been one of the most outspoken critics of the SEC’s regulatory approach, calling for a clear and predictable legal framework for digital assets.
