Crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) plans to quadruple the number of employees in India by year end, CEO Brian Armstrong said in a blog post, adding 1,000 to the existing 300 staff at its Indian tech hub, which started last year.
- "We have ambitious plans for India and seek to hire over 1,000 people in our India hub this year alone," Armstrong, who is currently in the country, wrote in the blog.
- On Feb. 15 the company announced its global "plans to add 2,000 employees across Product, Engineering and Design in 2022."
- Armstrong also announced that on Thursday, Coinbase will be "hosting a crypto community event in Bangalore to discuss the future of crypto and [Web 3] in India."
- In a previous blog post titled "Lighting Up The Map: How Coinbase Plans To Scale Globally" the company said it plans to "double down on regional investments, adding to its portfolio of platforms such as CoinSwitch Kuber and CoinDCX in India ..." to "accelerate the growth of the cryptoeconomy globally."
- Coinbase is the world's second-largest exchange by trade volume. It was founded in June 2012 by Armstrong and Fred Ehrsam.

From FTX debris to global finance: Solana’s 2026 plan is all about the application layer
Resilience built from the debris of 2022 is now shaping the Solana ecosystems future, leaders from Jupiter, Backpack, Kamino and DoubleZero argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
What to know:
- A few years after the collapse of FTX nearly took it down by association, Solana’s core builders say the network’s next phase will be defined not by survival, but by scaling into global finance.
- While Solana became known during the last cycle for memecoin mania and speculative trading, the next chapter will center on bringing more traditional finance onchain, panellists argued at Consensus Hong Kong 2026.
- Upcoming upgrades aimed at reducing latency and improving confirmation times are expected to strengthen Solana’s pitch as a high-performance, general-purpose execution layer. But the panel cautioned against complacency.
