Coinbase CEO to meet with Trump to discuss personnel appointments — WSJ

Before US Election Day, Brian Armstrong said Coinbase was “prepared to work” with either a Kamala Harris or Donald Trump administration.

Brian Armstrong, the CEO of United States-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, will reportedly meet with Donald Trump as the president-elect continues to announce staff picks for his administration and the heads of government departments.

According to a Nov. 18 Wall Street Journal report, Trump intended to meet privately with Armstrong to discuss personnel appointments. The Coinbase CEO did not appear to have donated directly to the Republican’s 2024 campaign or political action committees (PACs) directly supporting him but said before the US election the crypto exchange would be prepared to work with a Trump administration.

It’s unclear whether Armstrong or a Coinbase employee could potentially have a role in the next US president’s administration. At the Bitcoin 2024 conference in July, then-candidate Trump said he intended to establish a “Bitcoin and crypto presidential advisory council” to “design transparent regulatory guidance for the benefit of the entire industry” within 100 days of taking office.
