Binance anuncia planos para iniciar a onda de contratações em 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.
As exchanges concorrentes foram obrigadas a demitir uma parte substancial de sua força de trabalho depois que o mercado de criptomoedas perdeu cerca de $1,4 trilhão em 2022 e as principais criptomoedas como bitcoin e ether viram seus preços caírem mais de 60%.
No ano passado, várias empresas de criptomoedas, incluindo Kraken, Huobi e Coinbase, foram forçadas a anunciar cortes maciços como parte de medidas de proteção. Kraken reduziu sua força de trabalho em 30%, enquanto Huobi e Coinbase na semana passada anunciaram demissões da 20% como parte de seus esforços para se manter no mercado de baixa.
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 Obtém Aprovação na Suécia
Apesar das preocupações com as crescentes divergências com os reguladores em todo o mundo, a Binance recebeu um impulso depois de anunciar que havia obtido permissão da Autoridade de Supervisão Financeira da Suécia para negociar e gerenciar moedas digitais no país.
Binance disse que o anúncio 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,
A Suécia adota totalmente as leis da UE e tem outros requisitos locais, por isso temos o cuidado de garantir que a Binance Nordics AB adote políticas de risco e AML para atender a esse padrão exigente. Nossa próxima grande tarefa será a migração bem-sucedida e o lançamento de operações locais, incluindo a contratação de talentos locais, a organização de mais eventos e o fornecimento de mais educação criptográfica na Suécia.
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.
