The American cryptocurrency exchange Kraken intends to expand the state by almost 10% due to increased activity in the cryptocurrency market amid the financial crisis. That was in an interview with Forbes CEO of the platform Jess Powell.
“Every day we see more registrations, more requests for verification, more people replenish their accounts, and this for us is a signal that the situation is heating up,” he said.
Remarkably, Kraken plans to attract specialists in a comprehensive profile. For example, workers with a liberal arts education may be suitable for customer service.
At the same time, the company launched a program providing temporary work for relatives of exchange employees affected by the economic crisis.

“In all respects, Kraken’s business as a business is doing well, and I think that in the current situation, the cryptocurrency space is generally doing well,” Powell said.
He also noted the fact that after a sharp collapse, Bitcoin managed to recover in price by 30% in a relatively short period.
“Volatility, ups and downs, craziness in the markets... If you have been familiar with bitcoin for some time, then you are already used to such volatility, you just live as if on a roller coaster. And what has happened with Bitcoin now is not something extraordinary for him. But what happens to the financial markets is extraordinary,” CEO Kraken said.
