Coinbase, the US-based cryptocurrency exchange, has added three new members to its board of directors, including an executive from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, as the company steps up its efforts to sway US crypto policy, Coinbase told Reuters on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The new members are Chris Lehane, a member of the executive team at OpenAI<\/a>; Paul Clement, former US Solicitor General under President George W. Bush; and Christa Davies, chief financial officer for Aon and a board member for Stripe and Workday. The additions will expand the board from seven to 10.<\/p>\n

Coinbase’s <\/a>move to expand its board comes as the company and cryptocurrency industry more broadly aims to make the industry a major political force in this year’s presidential election. The industry’s fortunes could shift if Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump wins back the White House in November.<\/p>\n

Clement will advise Coinbase’s efforts to “to push back against the SEC’s <\/a>(US Securities and Exchange Commission’s) overreach and fight for clear rules of the road for digital assets.”<\/p>\n

Lehane, former policy chief for Airbnb who was also a member of the Clinton White House, will provide strategic counsel, Coinbase said.<\/p>\n

Davies will focus on Coinbase’s “financial and operational excellence on a global scale.”<\/p>\n

Coinbase said the three members all hold different political philosophies.<\/p>\n

“For crypto to succeed, it needs to be bipartisan,” Lehane told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto, an advocacy organisation for voters who own crypto, has amassed 1.3 million members.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, three major pro-crypto super political action committees – Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress, all of which did not exist until this cycle – have raised over $230 million (roughly Rs. 1,925 crore) to support friendly candidates.<\/p>\n
