Faryar Shirzad Joins Coinbase as Chief Policy Officer | The Coinbase Blog

Another big name from "traditional" finance joining the crypto world.

[…] we’re thrilled to welcome Faryar Shirzad as Coinbase’s new Chief Policy Officer. Faryar’s impressive experience — most recently as Global Co-Head of the Office of Government Affairs at Goldman Sachs — will be invaluable as we navigate the evolving global regulatory environment and work with governments around the world on critical issues surrounding the cryptoeconomy.

Coinbase is well positioned to take the leadership role working with existing organizations to integrate crypto into the existing financial ecosystem. There are a lot of people that will position crypto versus existing structures, but the path that I hope for is one where crypto is integrated alongside existing structures. 🤝
