<p>in the blog post, Coinbase stated that the Council is part of its work to work closely with stakeholders, regulators, and lawmakers across the world. The effort is, in turn, part of a broader effort to modernize a series of laws that predate the development of the electronic computer and are, to this day, used to govern the digital assets industry.</p> 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 <p>At Coinbase, we’re working to update financial systems and rules that were designed over 100 years ago before computers even existed. We chose to build in America because we want to be part of the solution and believe America would be best served by embracing the potential of crypto and blockchain technology. Our new Advisory Council will play a key role in helping us work with regulators to achieve that goal, but this is just the start. We plan to expand the board this year with a bipartisan group of leaders with deep regulatory expertise. We’re honored to have such distinguished leaders join our team and look forward to working together to shape the future of finance.</p>

<p>Coinbase recently found itself under significant pressure in the US after it <a href="https://tokenist.com/sec-alleges-coinbase-violated-security-laws-delivers-wells-notice/" rel="dofollow" class="deco-link">received a Wells notice from the SEC</a> alleging possible securities laws violations. In response, the cryptocurrency exchange increased its drive for global expansion as well as its drive for clearer regulation even <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/24/coinbase-sues-sec-after-months-of-silence-from-federal-regulator.html" target="_blank" aria-label=" (opens in a new tab)" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow" class="deco-link">suing the Commission</a> in an effort to receive some belated answers from the watchdog.</p>
