Goldman Sachs’ digital assets unit is reportedly open to bolstering its 70-strong team, despite a massive cost-cutting exercise at the firm last month that will see 3,200 employees clear their desks. Mathew McDermott, Global Head of Digital Assets for Goldman Sachs said the bank remains “hugely supportive” of exploring blockchain applications and that the digital asset division will hire “as appropriate” this year. The executive made the comments in Hong Kong to Bloomberg last week, noting that the digital assets team has grown from just four staff members in 2020 to around 70 today. (Cointelegraph)
