In an official Tuesday announcement, PayPal said it warmly welcomes leading experts in distributed technology, economics, and regulation to join the committee with the aim of improving current and future products and creating a more inclusive digital financial ecosystem.
At present, six top talents from various industries have joined them, including Peter Briger, Co-CEO of Fortress Investment Group, Chris Brummer, Professor of Georgetown University Law Center. All six members have related achievements in the crypto industry.
Jose Fernandez da Ponte, general manager of blockchain, cryptocurrencies, and digital currencies at PayPal said that:
