BTCC Unveils Strategic Expansion to Triple Workforce, Pioneering Web3 Evolution at TOKEN2049

BTCC, the world's longest-operating cryptocurrency exchange, has announced an audacious expansion strategy aimed at tripling its global workforce to 3,500 within the next six months. This groundbreaking revelation was made during TOKEN2049, Asia’s most significant Web3 conference, hosted at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore. As the company evolves from its traditional role as a crypto exchange, it is charting a new course to establish itself as a full-scale Web3 platform.

Scaling Technical Capacity for Web3 Innovation

A major focus of BTCC’s ambitious growth plan is the development of its Web3 infrastructure. To support this effort, around 35% of the new hires—approximately 1,200 professionals—will specialize in blockchain development. These experts will work on bolstering the foundation of next-generation decentralized ecosystems.

The company’s development initiatives will address several transformative areas, including the creation of full-ecosystem cryptocurrency wallets, mobile payment solutions, real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, and the integration of artificial intelligence (AI). This technological focus aims to seamlessly blend Web3 capabilities with real-world applications, enabling users to manage everyday transactions—such as parking fees, coffee purchases, and tuition payments—via the BTCC app.

Alex Hong, BTCC’s Chief Operating Officer, commented, “BTCC’s mission is to merge Web3 with everyday life. Our goal is to provide practical applications that reward users, making decentralized technology accessible and indispensable. This expansion signifies our unwavering commitment to driving mainstream Web3 adoption.”

Strengthening Compliance with a Robust Legal Framework

In tandem with its technological push, BTCC is prioritizing regulatory compliance as part of its growth strategy. The company plans to onboard over 50 legal professionals dedicated to navigating the complex global regulatory landscape. These experts will not only ensure adherence to evolving standards but also actively engage in shaping policy frameworks that foster sustainable growth for the blockchain and crypto industry.

“Compliance is more than a regulatory checkbox; it’s a cornerstone of responsible innovation,” emphasized Alex Hong. “By working towards transparent and rational regulations, we can create an environment that balances innovation with integrity, enabling long-term growth for the entire industry.”

Key Highlights from TOKEN2049: NBA Collaboration and Community Engagement

BTCC’s presence at TOKEN2049 extended beyond its expansion announcement. At booth PB4-46, the company hosted a basketball-themed exhibition featuring its partnership with NBA star Jaren Jackson Jr., the 2023 All-Star and Defensive Player of the Year, who serves as the exchange’s global ambassador. This collaboration highlights BTCC’s efforts to enhance brand recognition while simultaneously reinforcing user trust through credibility and secure platforms.

Further fostering its community-focused agenda, BTCC will host the Poolside Sync side event on October 3. The event is designed to facilitate meaningful connections among industry leaders, stakeholders, and community members, aligning with BTCC’s mission of empowering the Web3 ecosystem.

A Decisive Move Toward Web3 Financial Integration

BTCC’s workforce expansion is emblematic of its broader strategic pivot towards redefining financial services through the integration of decentralized Web3 technologies. By blending traditional financial systems with blockchain-based solutions, BTCC aspires to emerge as a leader in next-generation digital finance.

Founded in 2011, BTCC has grown into one of the most trusted names in the cryptocurrency sector, serving over 10 million users across more than 100 countries. By collaborating with high-profile figures like Jaren Jackson Jr., the company is effectively using strategic partnerships to amplify its market presence while advancing its long-term Web3 vision.

BTCC’s bold new direction represents nothing less than a transformation, one that aims to bridge the divide between traditional finance and the limitless potential of decentralized technology. This ambitious evolution reaffirms the company’s leadership role in shaping the future of the blockchain industry.
