Coinbase announced the appointment of its first-ever chief compliance officer on July 31.
The new member of the ever-expanding Coinbase team, Jeff Horowitz, joins the crypto exchange after spending decades in regulatory and compliance roles at some of the most renowned companies in the US.
His appointment comes at a time when Coinbase is making inroads into the mainstream financial services industry through Coinbase Custody and its acquisition of a broker-dealer.
