In a May 20 X post, Coinbase Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad said Meek had joined the exchange’s Global Advisory Council as part of efforts to “updat[e] the system” governing digital assets in the United States. The former Florida congressman served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 2003 to 2011 and was a member of the Committee on Ways and Means, which has jurisdiction over taxes.


According to a report from The Hill, Meek spoke in favor of digital assets as they “offer new opportunities to address the systemic issues that have plagued our financial system.” He will join other former U.S. lawmakers on the council, including Stephanie Murphy, Tim Ryan and Pat Toomey. Cointelegraph reached out to Meek for comment but did not receive a response at the time of publication.
