Binance conclui aquisição da Tokocrypto e força de trabalho 58% é demitida
- A Binance anunciou oficialmente a aquisição da principal exchange de criptomoedas, Tokocrypto, com sede na Indonésia.
- A bolsa visa expandir os serviços no mercado indonésio com a aquisição.
- Cerca de 58% dos funcionários da Tokocrypto foram demitidos devido às condições do mercado.
- Binance’s Portfolio Company CEO Yudhono Rawis will serve as interim CEO for Tokocrypto.
- Tokocrypto’s co-founder and CEO, Pang Xue Kai, will soon resign from his position.
The crypto winter has not disrupted the goals of continuous dominance of the world’s biggest crypto exchange, Binance, which is under the leadership of Changpeng “CZ” Zhao. The leading crypto firm has officially announced the acquisition of Indonesia-based crypto exchange Tokocrypto, confirming the rumores circulando em 6 de dezembro sobre o mesmo.
De acordo com o comunicado de imprensa compartilhado com CoinDesk Indonésia, Tokocrypto’s co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Pang Xue Kai, will soon resign from his position at the company. During the acquisition process, Binance’s portfolio company CEO, Yudhono Rawis, will serve as interim CEO for Tokocrypto.
However, the announcement clarifies that Kai will still be a member of the Board of Commissioners for Tokocrypto and continue to offer leadership support in his new role. Kai claims that this decision was made after considerable thought, relying on Binance’s ability to provide a physical trading platform for crypto assets.
“Tokocrypto came from our idea more than four years ago and I am very proud to see every growth, achievement, and contribution that the company has made to advance Indonesia’s digital economy. This decision was made after careful consideration and we decided that the best step for Tokocrypto going forward is to leverage Binance’s ability to build a further crypto asset physical trading platform,” he stated.
It is important to note that Indonesia’s leading exchange has laid off 58% of its employees due to unstable crypto market conditions following the acquisition of Binance. According to Tokocrypto’s LinkedIn page, it currently has around 290 employees. In September, the company let go of 45 employees. This confirms that the crypto winter has left many crypto employees without jobs. As earlier reported by Bitnation, crypto trading firm Amber Group demitiu 10% de seus funcionários.
Curiosamente, a Binance sempre apoiou a ideia por trás da Tokocrypto, já que investiu anteriormente na bolsa indonésia desde 2020. Dado que a Tokocrypto possui uma licença criptográfica na Indonésia, a Binance espera aumentar sua clientela lá como resultado do acordo de aquisição. A bolsa também estreou o “Binance Pay” option for all the people in the US, o que lhes permitirá ganhar dinheiro usando seus smartphones.
Binance, which sees the crypto winter as an excellent opportunity for expansion, has struck similar deals before. It bought Japan’s Sakura Exchange Bitcoin (SEBC) last month to re-enter the nation. Moreover, the world’s largest exchange also purchased a significant share in Malaysia’s MX Global, a licensed platform for trading digital assets.
