“We are seeking an experienced, highly organized individual with strong attention to detail and a passion for cryptocurrencies/digital assets to help manage the daily operations of an exciting growth initiative for Two Sigma Securities,” according to the job posting.
“You will be a critical member to help drive the buildout and scaling of Two Sigma Securities’ crypto trading business by performing vital middle office and post trade support functions and helping create a best-in-class platform to manage operational risk,” the listing said.
Two Sigma, which employs artificial intelligence and machine learning to trade stocks, is a backer of crypto projects via its VC arm, Two Sigma Ventures. Last month, Two Sigma Securities joined the Pyth Network, a data oracle system for decentralized finance linked to the Solana blockchain.
The right candidate will be responsible for managing “all aspects of cryptocurrency trade capture, reporting, settlement and reconciliations,” as well as seeing to “Daily and month end reconciliation of trades, positions, cash and P&L.”
Two Sigma did not return requests for comment by press time.

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.
What to know:
- KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
- This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
- Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
- Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
- Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.

Coinbase’s Base faces builder backlash over creator coin push
Builders on Base are pushing back against the network’s close alignment with Zora, arguing the creator-coin narrative sidelines established projects.
What to know:
- Base has seen a surge in creator-coin issuance via Zora, with daily token mints surpassing Solana in August, boosting onchain activity and attention.
- Some Base-native projects say marketing and social support has become narrowly focused on Zora-linked initiatives, leaving other established communities without recognition.
- While Base continues to process more than 10 million transactions per day, critics warn that deteriorating builder sentiment could push projects toward rival chains like Solana or Sui.
