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.

纳什维尔（路透社） - Coinbase 周四告诉路透社，美国加密货币交易所 Coinbase 已在其董事会中增加了三名新成员，其中包括 ChatGPT 制造商 OpenAI 的一名高管，该公司加大了影响美国加密货币政策的力度。

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.

新成员是 OpenAI 执行团队成员 Chris Lehane；保罗·克莱门特 (Paul Clement)，乔治·W·布什 (George W. Bush) 总统领导下的前美国副检察长； Christa Davies，Aon 首席财务官，Stripe 和 Workday 董事会成员。此次增员将使董事会成员从 7 名扩大到 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 扩大董事会规模之际，该公司和加密货币行业更广泛的目标是使该行业成为今年总统选举的主要政治力量。如果共和党候选人、前总统唐纳德·特朗普 (Donald Trump) 在 11 月份重新入主白宫，该行业的命运可能会发生变化。

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.”

克莱门特将建议 Coinbase 努力“反击 SEC（美国证券交易委员会）的越权行为，并为数字资产制定明确的规则而奋斗。”

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、克林顿白宫成员勒哈恩将提供战略咨询。

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

戴维斯将重点关注 Coinbase 的“全球范围内的卓越财务和运营”。

Coinbase said the three members all hold different political philosophies.

Coinbase 表示，三位成员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 在周四接受路透社采访时表示：“加密货币要想取得成功，就需要两党合作。”

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 是一个为拥有加密货币的选民提供支持的倡导组织，已拥有 130 万会员。

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.

与此同时，三个主要的支持加密货币的超级政治行动委员会——Fairshake、捍卫美国就业和保护进步，所有这些委员会直到本周期才存在——已经筹集了超过 2.3 亿美元来支持友好的候选人。
