Coinbase Policy Head Mike Lempres Leaves Company for VC Giant Andreessen Horowitz
The head of policy at Coinbase has left the U.S.’ largest exchange and wallet provider to work at investment giant Andreessen Horowitz, Bloomberg quotes a statement as confirming Nov. 22.
Mike Lempres, who worked only briefly in the role after swapping over from being Coinbase’s legal head in September, had already decided to leave at the time, the publication says.
Like all exchanges serving the U.S. market, Coinbase continues to battle patchwork regulatory frameworks that vary state to state, as well as ongoing reviews of the status of certain types of cryptocurrencies.
While it remains unknown who will replace Lempres, head of legal at the company is currently Brian Brooks, who “took over most of his responsibilities.”
