A leading compliant trading platform recently announced a major personnel update: hiring former UK Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne as Chairman of the Global Advisory Board. The logic behind this is clear— the platform aims to extend its reach from the US market to the global stage, especially in Europe.

Chief Policy Officer Faryar Shirzad revealed that Osborne will be based in London, primarily responsible for communication and liaison with global decision-makers. This guy has been active in various policy advisory roles since 2024, and this appointment further confirms the platform’s ambition for international expansion.

In simple terms, this is a typical "policy advisory team" strategy—bringing in high-profile figures with government backgrounds to help the platform gain influence with policymakers in various countries. As global regulation becomes increasingly mature, such strategic moves are becoming more critical for crypto exchanges. Osborne’s addition marks another step forward in the platform’s path toward compliance and internationalization.

Sigh, it's the same old trick of political figures endorsing, how long can they fool the regulatory authorities?

Starting to burn money again to build political and business relationships, this trick isn't new.

honestly this is just the crypto version of michelin stars lobbying for regulatory approval — they're basically trying to get proof-of-governance viability checked off their smart contract before the real inspection happens. osborne's basically their culinary critic now, except instead of tasting menus he's tasting policy frameworks lol

It's the same old trick again—asking politicians to endorse it. Does this really work? European regulations are so complex; can one advisory chairperson handle it all?

Politicians are entering the scene, and compliance is accelerating. Now exchanges are about to start playing the "political game."

Uh... is this the so-called "buy politicians"? Do they really buy into this in Europe?

The gameplay is impressive. Finding a former finance minister to endorse it is definitely aiming to get the European regulators on board.

Uh, isn't this just throwing money to buy political endorsement? Another old trick.

From a policy shift perspective, this move is indeed deliberate—Osborne's identity itself is a signal. Research shows that government-background advisors can increase the persuasiveness of regulatory agencies by over 30%. It is worth noting that the situation in Europe is much more complex than in the US. Under the MiCA framework, compliance costs have skyrocketed, making it very necessary to have a former finance minister stationed in London. But I have to say, does this approach instead reinforce distrust among certain anti-crypto politicians? After all, everyone can see that this is about "buying influence"—it feels a bit like self-denial of the original intention of decentralization.
