Coinbase's chief legal officer Paul Grewal is leaving the company after its high-profile, years-long legal fight with U.S. regulators. Grewal said that leading Coinbase's legal team through the biggest fight of the industry has been the single greatest achievement of his six-year tenure. He will continue to serve as an adviser to Coinbase and work on the company's trust charter work through the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. Molly Abraham will now lead the company's legal team as general counsel, and Ryan Van Grack will become vice chairman, in what's anticipated to be a broader and more public-facing role.
