Coinbase is launching a hiring push in Charlotte, North Carolina, marking a significant expansion into the longtime banking city.Â
The crypto exchange plans to hire more than 130 employees in the region, primarily for compliance and customer support roles, according to a report by Axios.
The move is part of a broader initiative announced by CEO Brian Armstrong to bring on 1,000 new U.S. employees this year.Â

Crypto-friendly climate
The expansion comes amid a more crypto-friendly political climate, with Donald Trump recently calling himself the countryâs âfirst crypto president.â
Though Coinbase has been remote-first since 2020, it maintains offices in San Francisco and New York for occasional in-person collaboration. Chief People Officer LJ Brock said Charlotte stood out for its strong financial and tech talent and lower operating costs.
âWeâre going to be committed to this market,â Brock told Axios. âThereâs a lot of opportunity to create more economic freedom through a better financial system.â
The new hires in Charlotte will join a leaner, more agile work environment than traditional financial institutions, Brock added. Salaried roles will pay between $96,000 and $117,000, while hourly roles range from $32 to $41.
Leaders in North Carolinaâs blockchain community welcomed the news. âThis kind of investment helps Charlotte grow not just as a fintech hub, but as a place where people can build meaningful careers,â Eric Porper, co-chair of the North Carolina Blockchain Initiative, told Axios.
Hiring will unfold over the next six months. If successful, Coinbase could expand further in Charlotte.

PancakeSwap Infinity will get advanced, intelligent UX features, all built into the blockchain with Brevis partnership.
Decentralized exchanges are one step closer to competing with centralized exchanges on user experience. On Monday, May 12, Brevis and PancakeSwap (CAKE) announced an integration that will enable decentralized, intelligent UX for its next-generation version, PancakeSwap Infinity.
Formerly known as PancakeSwap v4, PancakeSwap Infinity will feature âIntelligent UXâ powered by Brevis hooks. These hooks use zero-knowledge proofs to perform on-chain computations that allow PancakeSwapâs interface to adapt to individual users.

At the same time, the new hooks will affect core features such as trading fees, personalized incentives, and VIP discounts. Crucially, the system will run fully on-chain, ensuring trustlessness and decentralization.
Itâs important to note that while these features are described as âintelligent,â they do not use AI or large language models. Instead, the system relies on programmable logic, ensuring consistency and predictability.
How intelligent UX will run on-chain
Brevis runs its computations on an off-chain engine to minimize gas fees. However, it publishes ZK proofs of all processes, allowing the blockchain to verify that the computations are valid without accessing full transaction data.
This design is key for PancakeSwap, one of the largest DEXs in the market. Operating on BNB Chain, PancakeSwap needs to ensure that its core platform logic remains decentralized, verifiable, and trustless. Otherwise, users would have to rely on the platform or its partners to safeguard their assets, contradicting the core ethos of decentralized finance.
The integration of intelligent UX is a strong example of how ZK-proof technology can help decentralized platforms match or surpass centralized alternatives in both performance and user experience. By offloading the heavy computational work and proving results on-chain, PancakeSwap can improve scalability and reduce costs, while maintaining the fundamental benefits of blockchain technology.
