NASHVILLE (Reuters) - U.S. cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase has added three new members to its board of directors, including an executive from ChatGPT-maker OpenAI, as the company steps up its efforts to sway U.S. crypto policy, Coinbase told Reuters on Thursday.

納許維爾（路透社） - Coinbase 週四告訴路透社，美國加密貨幣交易所Coinbase 已在其董事會中增加了三名新成員，其中包括ChatGPT 製造商OpenAI 的一名高管，該公司加大了影響美國加密貨幣政策的力度。

The new members are Chris Lehane, a member of the executive team at OpenAI; Paul Clement, former U.S. Solicitor General under President George W. Bush; and Christa Davies, chief financial officer for Aon and a board member for Stripe and Workday. The additions will expand the board from seven to 10.

新成員是 OpenAI 執行團隊成員 Chris Lehane；保羅·克萊門特 (Paul Clement)，喬治·W·布希 (George W. Bush) 總統領導下的前美國副檢察長； Christa Davies，Aon 財務官，Stripe 和 Workday 董事會成員。此次增員將使董事會成員從 7 名擴大到 10 名。

Coinbase’s move to expand its board comes as the company and cryptocurrency industry more broadly aims to make the industry a major political force in this year’s presidential election. The industry’s fortunes could shift if Republican nominee and former president Donald Trump wins back the White House in November.

Coinbase 擴大董事會規模之際，該公司和加密貨幣行業更廣泛的目標是使該行業成為今年總統選舉的主要政治力量。如果共和黨候選人、前總統唐納德·川普 (Donald Trump) 在 11 月重新入主白宮，該行業的命運可能會發生變化。

Clement will advise Coinbase’s efforts to “to push back against the SEC’s (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s) overreach and fight for clear rules of the road for digital assets.”

克萊門特將建議 Coinbase 努力“反擊 SEC（美國證券交易委員會）的越權行為，並為數位資產制定明確的規則而奮鬥。”

Lehane, former policy chief for Airbnb who was also a member of the Clinton White House, will provide strategic counsel, Coinbase said.

Coinbase 表示，Airbnb 前政策主管、柯林頓白宮成員勒哈恩將提供策略諮詢。

Davies will focus on Coinbase’s “financial and operational excellence on a global scale.”

戴維斯將重點關注 Coinbase 的「全球範圍內的卓越財務和營運」。

Coinbase said the three members all hold different political philosophies.

Coinbase 表示，三位成員都持有不同的政治理念。

“For crypto to succeed, it needs to be bipartisan,” Lehane told Reuters in an interview on Thursday.

Lehane 在周四接受路透社採訪時表示：“加密貨幣要想取得成功，就需要兩黨合作。”

Coinbase-backed Stand With Crypto, an advocacy organization for voters who own crypto, has amassed 1.3 million members.

Coinbase 支持的 Stand With Crypto 是一個為擁有加密貨幣的選民提供支持的倡導組織，已擁有 130 萬會員。

Meanwhile, three major pro-crypto super political action committees – Fairshake, Defend American Jobs, and Protect Progress, all of which did not exist until this cycle – have raised over $230 million to support friendly candidates.

與此同時，三個主要的支持加密貨幣的超級政治行動委員會——Fairshake、捍衛美國就業和保護進步，所有這些委員會直到本週期才存在——已經籌集了超過2.3 億美元來支持友好的候選人。
