In a statement, the 52-year-old announced he was excited about the “huge amount” of innovation that is present in the financial industry. He will now use his experience in a range of sectors and disciplines – these include business and journalism, both of which will work to support Coinbase’s endeavours globally.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">In a further statement, Osborne added: </span></p>
<blockquote><p><span data-contrast="auto">Blockchains are transforming financial markets and online transactions. Coinbase is at the frontier of these developments. I look forward to working with the team there as they build a new future in financial services.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p></blockquote>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Growth is on the agenda for CoinBase in 2024; the crypto exchange is planning to expand into other markets such as Bermuda and Singapore. However, a battle with the SEC looms large. The US regulator sued Coinbase last month after claiming that it has evaded disclosure requirements. </span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>

<p><span data-contrast="auto">The frosty outlook for crypto companies in the US is countered by a more welcoming environment in the UK where the government has outlined its desire to be a “hub” for digital assets.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto"><a href="https://www.leaprate.com/cryptocurrency/coinbase-appoints-national-security-experts-on-global-advisory-council/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coinbase</a> is now attempting to funnel more funds to pro-crypto lawmakers in the US with the hopes of changing that narrative. Hiring Osborne, a former Conservative politician, fits in perfectly with this new strategy. Osborne has taken on a series of lucrative jobs since leaving office and will now work at Coinbase whilst continuing with his several other high-profile roles.</span><span data-ccp-props="{"201341983":0,"335559740":276}"> </span></p>
