Week in Review: March 24–28, 2026
Here is every significant hiring development across all 10 exchanges this week.
Biggest Mover: Binance (+28 engineering roles)
Binance's payment/stablecoin engineering surge dominated the week. 28 new roles, all focused on payments infrastructure and stablecoin protocol engineering. This is the single largest one-week engineering surge we have tracked at Binance in 18 months. Signal: Stablecoin/payments product build has just entered active coding phase.
Steady Signal: OKX (0 change, score holds at 95)
OKX added 3 roles and lost 3 — effectively flat. Maintaining 446 at 95/100. The consistency is itself a signal: they are not slowing down pre-announcement.
IPO Build: Kraken (+4 finance/IR roles)
Kraken added its 8th and 9th senior finance roles. Director of Treasury Operations and VP of Financial Reporting. Both have SEC/regulatory reporting in their descriptions. IPO build continues.
Unchanged: Gemini (still 8 roles)
Three corp dev roles remain open for week 12. No change. Clock is ticking on resolution.
Notable: Bybit +5 EU compliance
Bybit added 5 more EU compliance and VASP operations roles this week. MiCA preparation on track.
