Tom Duff Gordon, Vice President of International Policy at Coinbase, a prominent US-listed cryptocurrency platform, has made a significant career move. After nearly four years with Coinbase, Duff Gordon has transitioned to a new role as Head of EMEA Policy at OpenAI, as disclosed by a Coinbase representative. Prior to his tenure at Coinbase, Duff Gordon spent approximately 8.5 years working in banking at Credit Suisse.
His departure was noted, although he did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Notably, Duff Gordon is an expert in cryptocurrency regulations and had previously highlighted that UK banks are restricting access to legitimate and compliant services for millions of customers, failing to differentiate between low-risk, Financial Conduct Authority-registered firms and higher-risk operators.
