Coinbase has formed a political action committee (PAC) to raise money to spend on U.S. elections, the cryptocurrency exchange said in a filing made public on Friday. 

Coinbase's newly established PAC had not yet raised money as of June 30.

In May, Coinbase said it would revamp its trading technology and create a new suite of services to attract more  institutional investors, including hedge funds and high-frequency trading firms.
