With the collapse of FTX, cryptocurrencies have become a clear target for a group of American politicians, who are now engaged in a serious struggle. Senators like Warren, who are trying to thwart the progress of cryptocurrency, seem to have set their sights on discrediting <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/upbit-exchange-lists-binances-30th-launchpad-project-space-id-soars-in-value/" data-wpel-link="internal">Coinbase</a>, the country’s largest crypto exchange. Officials have responded to the latest allegations put forward by Warren.

The cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has responded to the allegations of Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. Warren, who is preparing legislation to combat <a href="https://newslinker.co/category/finance/" data-wpel-link="exclude">money</a> laundering and the financing of crime with crypto and seeking support for it, recently claimed that the exchange employed former government officials to obstruct regulations.

Despite her efforts to pass different versions of the same bill, Warren has not found the support she expected, which seems to be making her more aggressive. Most recently, she has gained the support of five more Senators by trying to find political backing through unfounded allegations published by WSJ. 
Coinbase’s Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad denied Senator Warren’s claims in a letter two days ago. Writing that the exchange continues to defend regulations, Faryar stated the following; 
<blockquote> 
 “Your claim that Coinbase is trying to sabotage bipartisan legislation related to cryptocurrency is completely false. Your accusations are not only baseless but also a deliberate misrepresentation of our intentions and efforts.” 
</blockquote> 
<h2 style="text-align: justify" id="coinbase-and-lobbying-activities">Coinbase and Lobbying Activities</h2> 
Lobbying activities are legal in the US when conducted through official channels, and companies like Coinbase and <a href="https://en.coin-turk.com/xrp-becomes-the-highest-volume-cryptocurrency-overtaking-btc/" data-wpel-link="internal">Ripple</a> spend millions of dollars on this effort. Ahead of the 2024 elections, US crypto companies are fighting to ensure that potential crypto regulations favor investors, employing former government personnel for this purpose. 
However, these appointments are not made to obstruct laws as Warren claims, but rather as part of a broader initiative aimed at protecting the welfare of crypto users. 
Coinbase’s announcement that it expanded its Global Advisory Council with four national security experts seems to have disturbed Warren, prompting her to take such a step. On November 7th, the council was joined by former Defense Secretary Mark Esper, congresswoman Stephanie Murphy, former US President George W. Bush’s homeland security advisor Frances Townsend, and former managing director of BRG Group David Urban.
