Paul Grewal, who has served as Coinbase’s chief legal officer since 2020, announced Thursday that he will transition to an advisory role at the exchange effective July 31, ending a tenure that included steering the company through one of the most significant regulatory battles in US crypto.
In posts on X and LinkedIn, Grewal confirmed that two of Coinbase’s legal vice presidents will step into elevated roles upon his departure.

Grewal added that he will continue working with the Board of Coinbase National Trust Company, and that he will announce a potential new position ‘in due course.’
