- On Wednesday, the San Francisco crypto company announced Paul Grewal, a former judge in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, will take over Coinbase's global legal operations as chief legal officer.
- Grewal most recently served as vice president and deputy general counsel for Facebook. Before that, he spent five years as a magistrate judge presiding over tech giants’ courtroom battles, including separate lawsuits concerning Apple and Google.
