Cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp USA takes on Wall Street to expand talent pool: Bloomberg

Cryptocurrency exchange Bitstamp USA is taking on talent from traditional Wall Street firms in an effort to boost its staff diversity, the company told Bloomberg during an interview Monday. “Every time we post an opportunity or a role, we get tremendous inbound interest, mostly from people in traditional financial-services companies,” Bitstamp USA CEO Robert Zagotta told Bloomberg. “One of the reasons this is very positive for us is it also brings a higher level of diversity into the talent pool,” he added. Women account for 60% of new hires at Bitstamp USA so far this year, up from just 37% in 2021, Zagoota told Bloomberg. “That’s notable in the space, unfortunately.” In May 2021, Bitstamp ramped up U.S. expansion.
