Subsequently, Coinbase’s operations in Germany experienced robust growth, with the office doubling its headcount in the past 12 months. As a regional talent hub, the German operation will play a crucial role in sourcing and nurturing local crypto talent, a vital component as Coinbase expands its product offering across the region.

Daniel Seifert, Vice President and Regional Managing Director, EMEA at Coinbase, expressed his enthusiasm for the regulatory clarity and Germany’s commitment to tech innovation and the vibrant Web3 ecosystem. Germany’s deep pool of developer talent, as evidenced at the recent BASE meet-up during Berlin Blockchain Week, presents exciting prospects for expanding products and services throughout the region.

Establishing Germany as a talent hub aligns with Coinbase’s existing operational model and positions the company strongly in this pivotal international market. With over 6% of Germany’s 83 million population invested in cryptocurrency, the opportunity is substantial. The blockchain sector in Germany attracted $355 million in venture capital funding this year, accounting for 2.4% of global blockchain funding and 2.5% of global deals, a significant increase from 2022’s figures.
