Crypto firms are expanding their presence in the U.S. and increasing hiring in policy, compliance, and go-to-market roles amid changing regulations. Wintermute announced its new U.S. headquarters in New York, aiming to enhance business development and partnerships with a focus on policy engagement. Despite having clearer regulations in London and Singapore, U.S. openness towards digital asset innovation has prompted this expansion. MoonPay is also establishing a central hub in Manhattan, employing around 70 people in the U.S. and planning to hire across various roles, including product and compliance. Crypto.com opened a Washington D.C. office to focus on public affairs, highlighting the U.S. market as an exciting frontier. Recruiters mention a trend where European firms seek to establish operations in the U.S. due to favorable regulatory perceptions and access to talented professionals. Positions in technology, compliance, and risk are in high demand, underscoring a significant push towards developing U.S. workforces in the crypto sector.
