Coinbase selects Germany as a key regional talent hub amid the growing shift of web3 firms from the US

In an Oct. 16 announcement, Coinbase, one of the world’s largest exchanges, announced Germany as being its new regional talent hub.

The announcement comes in another move in Phase II of the platform’s ‘Go Broad, Go Deep’ international market strategy.

Growing German operations

In the announcement on Coinbase’s blog page, the exchange reports that German operations have grown in the past 12 months, resulting in a doubling headcount in the company’s “fastest growing office”.

As a regional talent hub, Coinbase’s Germany operations will be integral in helping the exchange source and develop local crypto talent.

At the time of writing, it was reported that more than six percent of the 83 million people in Germany are currently invested in cryptocurrencies, highlighting an opportunity for ongoing development.

The exchange also teased that over the next two weeks, more Phase II moves can be expected, with operational and people announcements being expected for Ireland, Benelux, Nordics, Spain and Italy.

An ongoing legal dispute 

Since June, Coinbase has been embroiled in a legal dispute with the SEC concerning accusations of functioning as an unregistered exchange. 

With this legal battle only being one of many in the United States, many major players have since begun considering their expansion into other countries, including Gemini, which had eyes on a move to the UK. Due to significant global uncertainty, many in the community have been far from quiet about what they believe the global repercussions will be.

Here’s the Obvious Use Case for Crypto, According to Solana Creator Anatoly Yakovenko

Image
Anatoly Yakovenko, co-founder of smart contract platform Solana (SOL), is naming what he says is an “obvious” use case for crypto and blockchain. In a new interview with Austin Federa, head of strategy at the Solana Foundation, Yakovenko says simple payments are one obvious use case for digital assets that anyone can benefit from. 46:52 “I’m actually more focused on trying to do stuff that’s obvious today. I think that’s just really important, to try to get users to go do the things that already work at scale – and those are payments. Very simple kind of thing – let’s send money to each other in a cheap and fast way without [going] around the world.” According to Yakovenko, crypto assets could help simplify finance over the internet as well as let content creators work for themselves rather than be tied to the financial systems of their hosts. 48:57 “[Crypto payments are] just such a better experience for anyone that generates user content. So the problem is

Terra Luna Price Prediction as LUNA Falls 10% in 24 Hours - Here's Where LUNA is Headed Next

Image
Source: TradingView The Terra Luna price has dopped to $2.00 today, with the altcoin falling by as much as 10% in the past 24-hour period. Its current level represents an 11% fall in a week, although it remains up by 58% in the last 30 days, making it one of the best-performing coins in the top-100 cryptocurrencies by market cap. LUNA's fall today follows news that Binance has updated the 'risk warning' it gives to customers when they trade the altcoin, with the exchange now advising users that the "token has been the subject of negative news/coverage recently." Despite this being a relative improvement over its previous warning, the change has nonetheless underlined the possibility that LUNA will never be considered a 'normal' or 'safe' cryptocurrency, and therefore may not be able to return to its former heights.
