Coinbase to open new North Carolina office and hire more than 130 local employees

According to ChainCatcher, Coinbase announced the establishment of a new office in Charlotte, North Carolina, and plans to hire over 130 local employees within the next 6 months, with positions primarily focused on compliance and customer support. 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 aligns with the hiring plan announced by Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on March 7th. 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 would increase the total number of employees by 27% if completed. However, the spokesperson emphasized that the expansion in Charlotte is primarily based on local talent advantages, rather than political factors.
