According to Cointelegraph, Foresight News reports that the crypto exchange Coinbase announced the establishment of a new office in Charlotte, North Carolina, and plans to hire more than 130 local employees within the next 6 months, with positions mainly focused on compliance and customer support departments. The company spokesperson stated that Charlotte was chosen because the city is emerging as a financial technology center, and its rapidly growing population and high-quality talent pool will support Coinbase's long-term development.
It is worth noting that Coinbase still maintains a "remote-first" work model, with approximately 95% of employees able to choose to work from home or in a hybrid mode. This expansion echoes the hiring plan announced by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on March 7. Influenced by the Trump administration's pro-crypto policies, the company plans to add approximately 1,000 new positions across the United States this year, which, if completed, would increase the total number of employees by 27%. However, the spokesperson emphasized that the expansion in Charlotte is primarily based on local talent advantages, rather than political factors.
