2018 has been a busy year for Coinbase. One thing the company did was form a Political Action Committee, but what exactly is a PAC? These types of committees raise money.

Coinbase is involved with advocacy to prevent cryptocurrency from being defined and regulated as securities, as well as promoting the blockchain industry.
