Coinbase Expands Advisory Council with Trump Campaign Manager and Ex-Senator

The crypto exchange's new hires signal a strategic push to influence U.S. crypto policy in a pro-crypto administration.

Coinbase has added four prominent figures to its advisory council, including Trump campaign co-manager Chris LaCivita and former Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
The appointments reflect the crypto industry's optimism about favorable policies under President Trump's administration, which has prioritized regulatory clarity for digital assets.
Other new advisors include Bill Dudley, former president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and Luis Alberto Moreno, an international finance expert.
Sinema and LaCivita will use their political expertise to advocate for bipartisan legislation that establishes clear rules for the crypto industry, though they will not engage in direct lobbying.
The crypto sector has gained mainstream appeal, with bitcoin surpassing $100,000 in 2024, and analysts predict further growth as regulatory frameworks evolve.
