PwC Creates Digital Skills Program to Boost Internal Blockchain Expertise
Consultancy firm PwC is kicking off a new program aimed at improving the expertise of its employees on new technologies like blockchain.

Consultancy firm PwC is kicking off a new "digital skills" program aimed at improving the expertise of its employees on new technologies like blockchain.
The firm will assign 1,000 of its employees to a two-year training program which will cover various digital technology-related, from blockchain to 3D printing to drones, Digiday reported Thursday.
Called Digital Accelerators, the program will begin this January, according to the report.
PwC Digital Accelerators head Sarah McEneaney told the publication that the move is part of a wider effort to help increase the firm's subject-matter expertise.
"My job is to future proof our workforce ... It just seems table stakes at this point that people should have more technology skills. It's needed for us to remain competitive and to be responsive for what our clients are also going through."
The training should make employees more efficient as well, reducing the number of hours they spend working on problems, McEneany contended. These savings will be transferred to PwC's customers.
Roughly 3,500 out of the more than 46,000 employees working at PwC are said to have applied for spots in the program.
During the program, the 1,000 selected employees will work with clients while taking roughly 10 hours worth of courses each week. Data and analytics, which will include information collection and blockchain, will make up the first part of the program's curriculum.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

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.
Ano ang dapat malaman:
- 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.

- Bitcoin behaves more like an "ATM" during uncertain times, with investors quickly selling it to raise cash, contrary to its reputation as a stable digital asset.
