David Plouffe, a senior adviser to Kamala Harris’ 2024 presidential campaign, has joined Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN)’s global advisory council, expanding the cryptocurrency exchange’s political connections. Plouffe, a prominent Democratic strategist known for managing Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign, previously served on Binance’s global advisory board.
The council already includes Chris LaCivita, former co-campaign manager of Donald Trump’s successful 2024 presidential bid, who joined in January. Former U.S. Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat-turned-independent from Arizona, is also a member, along with several other high-profile figures from both major political parties.
Coinbase’s political outreach comes as cryptocurrency legislation advances in Congress, aiming to create a comprehensive regulatory framework for digital assets. The industry has gained increasing influence in shaping these legislative efforts.
