Binance anuncia planes para comenzar la ola de contrataciones en 2023
- Binance recently admitted that it was not “super efficient” but was well organized to prepare for the next bull run.
- The exchange’s decision to expand its staff strength comes days after Huobi and Coinbase announced plans to reduce their workforces by 20%.
- Binance’s local arm in Sweden recently received approval from financial regulators in the country to manage and trade digital currencies.
Cryptocurrency exchange Binance has announced plans to commence a hiring spree in 2023 despite growing concerns about its operations. While several crypto firms have reduced their headcounts in order to survive the bear market’s pressure, Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao stated on Wednesday that the company will increase its staff strength as it expands its influence into new markets.
Binance claims to have increased its staff strength in 2022 from 3000 employees to about 8000 and is looking at increasing those figures by 15% to 30%. Zhao shared the company’s expansion plans while speaking at the Crypto Finance Conference in St. Moritz, Switzerland.
Los intercambios de la competencia se vieron obligados a despedir a una parte sustancial de su fuerza laboral después de que el criptomercado perdiera alrededor de $1.4 billones en 2022 y las criptomonedas clave como bitcoin y ether vieron caer sus precios en más de 60%.
El año pasado, varias criptoempresas, incluidas Kraken, Huobi y Coinbase, se vieron obligadas a anunciar recortes masivos como parte de las medidas de protección. Kraken redujo su plantilla en 30%, mientras que Huobi y base de monedas la semana pasada anunció los despidos de 20% como parte de sus esfuerzos para mantenerse a flote en el mercado bajista.
Although Binance plans to expand its workforce, Zhao admitted that the company is not entirely efficient but is well-organized for the next bull run. Zhao said the company will “continue to build and hopefully we will ramp up again before the next bull market.”
Binance obtiene aprobación en Suecia
A pesar de las preocupaciones por las crecientes rupturas con los reguladores de todo el mundo, Binance recibió un impulso después de anunciar que había obtenido el permiso de la Autoridad de Supervisión Financiera de Suecia para comerciar y administrar monedas digitales en el país.
Binance dijo que anuncio came after “months of constructive engagement” with the financial regulator. As part of the approval, Swedish residents are allowed to access crypto services on Binance. Reacting to the news, a Binance representative in the region said,
Suecia adopta completamente las leyes de la UE y tiene más requisitos locales, por lo que hemos tenido cuidado de asegurarnos de que Binance Nordics AB haya adoptado políticas de riesgo y AML para cumplir con este estándar exigente. Nuestra próxima gran tarea será la migración exitosa y el lanzamiento de operaciones locales, incluida la contratación de talento local, la organización de más eventos y la entrega de más educación criptográfica en Suecia.
Last year, Binance received similar clearance from regulators in Spain, Dubai, France, and Bahrain. The exchange has not exactly had it easy with regulators in some countries. Authorities in nations like Canada, the US, Japan, and the UK have previously taken action against the exchange’s operations and warned prospective investors about the dangers associated with digital assets.
