Coinbase deepens ties to Trump with advisory council pick
Weeks after a meeting between Trump and Brian Armstrong to reportedly discuss personnel, the US president’s co-campaign manager will be joining Coinbase’s advisory council.
US President Donald Trump’s co-campaign manager for the 2024 election will be joining cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase’s advisory council to address digital asset regulation.
In a Jan. 29 notice, Coinbase said former Trump co-campaign manager Chris LaCivita would join former US Senator Kyrsten Sinema, former New York Fed president Bill Dudley and former Colombian Ambassador to the US Luis Alberto Moreno on the exchange’s Global Advisory Council. LaCivita, who worked to help elect Trump, has close ties to the Republican National Committee and likely continues to have a relationship with the US president.
According to LaCivita, the crypto industry “deserves better” than former US President Joe Biden’s administration’s approach to legislation and regulation. He echoed Trump’s claims of making the US a leader in digital assets.
