Digital asset firm Okcoin notes that even when the crypto markets are down, they are still focused on hiring “top” talent and building for the long term.
Okcoin confirmed that they are hiring globally “for over 100 roles across all teams.”
They’re also “doubling down on [their] commitment to inclusion.”
The company added that Crypto’s next chapter is “being written today.”
During the last bull market, Okcoin had paced themselves on hiring. That’s allowed them “to avoid bloated teams and maintain a value-driven culture, for teams around the world.”
They’re now ready “to recruit the next 100 top talents they’re looking for by the end of the year.”
According to Okcoin, this bear market, like all previous crypto bear markets, is “an opportunity for us to build.”
The firm added:
“We already operate in 190+ countries, and are shipping new product features every week. We were the first U.S. licensed exchange to integrate Lightning, we remain the only one to offer limit orders on DCA purchases, and are pushing new features daily. Industry defining innovations are being developed now – want to build the future with us?”
They concluded:
“We’re a remote-first company and welcome talents from all backgrounds and geographies. We’ve built truly diverse teams, welcome new ways of thinking, and we’ve already committed $1 million to increase the inclusion of women on our platform including a grant program.”
In another recent update, Okcoin noted that IoTeX (IOTX) is “now available on Okcoin.”
You can now “deposit and trade IOTX against USD” on Okcoin. This offer is for all Okcoin customers including those in the United States, “except for residents of the EU, the UK, Singapore, and Brunei.”
Deposits for IOTX “are live as of June 15.” Withdrawals and trading for IOTX “are live as of June 16 at 10am PT.” IOTX quick buy is “coming soon.”
As explained in the update from Okcoin, Internet of Things (IoT) devices can “carry a lot of sensitive information about their users.”
While the advantages of IoT devices can be substantial, many of these smart devices may “lack the security and privacy settings potentially necessary to protect data exchanges. IoTeX was created to address this issue.”
IoTeX (IOTX) is “a decentralized, privacy-focused blockchain built for IoT devices.”
IoTeX’s goal is “to create an ‘Internet of Trusted Things’ in which all physical and virtual ‘things’ — persons, machines, businesses, and dApps — can share information and value securely on a global scale.”
With this technology, users can “own their own data, rather than giving it to centralized businesses.”
IOTX is “the protocol’s utility token.” It is used “to make sure that interactions between different entities in the IoTeX network are trustworthy and open.” It is also used “to register devices, pay for gas fees, stake, and take part in community governance.”
