Binance, Coinbase on Hiring Spree Despite Bear Market, Sign of Rapid GrowthBinance and Coinbase, two of the largest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world by user base and daily trading volume, are on a hiring spree despite the 80 percent correction the crypto market experienced throughout 2018.
Speaking to Bloomberg, Binance’s Chief Financial Officer Wei Zhou stated that the company is hiring 50 new employees in its headquarters in Malta while also recruiting new hires for the firm’s first fiat-to-crypto exchange in Singapore.
The Malta-based multi-billion dollar company, which already has more than 300 people across 39 countries, is soon expected to expand its team to over 350 employees.
Sign of Rapid Growth
Over the past year, Binance has experienced exponential growth, adding millions of users and billions in daily trading volume in merely months. The company is often described as the fastest growing startup in history, outside the realm of crypto and finance.
Zhou emphasized that Binance is continuing to grow the ecosystem, with its most recent initiative being the launch of Binance Singapore and potentially more fiat-integrated cryptocurrency exchanges in the months to come.
“Our goal right now is to continue to grow the ecosystem, not just for cryptocurrency, but for the blockchain industry as well. The company is currently looking to acquire projects in the fiat space, Zhou said.
