Crypto exchange Bitget isn’t slowing down on hiring despite the worsening market conditions and the recent collapse of leading crypto derivatives exchange FTX.
Bitget, which was founded in 2018, ປະກາດ earlier this year that it aimed to have a workforce of 1,000 members by the end of this year. This would be a 25% increase from its current headcount of 800 people.
Bitget’s managing director Gracy Chen said the exchange is still targeting this figure for the end of this year. Over the past six months, Bitget’s workforce has already increased 78% to 800 from 450 employees, she said at a panel at the Token2049 conference in London.
“We are operating without debt and adequate cash flow, making solid progress and will roll out more initiatives for infrastructure projects in the bear market,” Chen said in a statement to The Block.
“The chaos happened in the last few days has little impact on us,” she added.
FTX ປະກາດ ວ່າມັນກໍາລັງປະເຊີນກັບສະພາບຄ່ອງຂອງສະພາບຄ່ອງໃນຕົ້ນອາທິດນີ້ແລະວ່າມັນຈະໄດ້ມາໂດຍການແລກປ່ຽນຄູ່ແຂ່ງ Binance. ຂໍ້ຕົກລົງກັບ Binance ຫຼຸດລົງໂດຍຜ່ານການ Wednesday. Earlier today, FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried apologized and said that he would look to ຢຸດການຊື້ຂາຍທີ່ບໍລິສັດເອື້ອຍ Alameda Research.
The exchange does not have any exposure to FTX, Alameda Research and the FTT token, Chen said.

Bitget’s expansion plans come at a time when layoffs are ເກີດຂຶ້ນ across the crypto industry. Trading firm GSR and crypto exchanges Bitmex and Crypto.com were among those to lay off staff in recent weeks.
Fidelity Digital Assets is also one of the few firms in the midst of a ການຈ້າງງານ in this market environment with plans for 100 more crypto hires over the next six months.
Singapore-based Bitget ເປີດ a $200 million fund in August to protect user assets. The exchange is in the process of working to disclose its merkle-tree proof of reserves as a result of this week’s events; Chen ຄາດຫວັງວ່າ this to be available within a month.
The exchange, which is ranked eighth for crypto derivatives on Coinmarketcap, also recently entered into an ຫຸ້ນສ່ວນສະເພາະ with football star Lionel Messi ahead of the World Cup.
