The ideal candidate for this role also requires expertise in wallet management, custody solutions, key handling, and cryptographic protocols.
Brokers also want people with experience in custody platforms, staking providers, and scaling systems handling real-time trading, settlement, and chain operations.
Additionally, potential candidates should be familiar with the regulated environment of MICA in Dubai, the UK and the European Union.
The job posting indicates that Capital.com is planning to add physical cryptocurrency-related services.
However, the broker has not announced plans to launch cryptographic services. FinanceMagnates.com approached Capital.com to confirm its cryptocurrency plans, but it has not received a response as of the time of reporting.
cfds to crypto
Capital.com is known for providing forex and CFD broker services. It currently provides approvals from regulatory authorities in the UK, Cyprus, the United Arab Emirates, the Bahamas and Seychelles.
Current licenses allow cryptographic CFDs to be provided in certain jurisdictions, but not physical cryptocurrency-based products or services.
It remains unclear whether the broker plans to obtain a cryptographic license in its jurisdiction.
However, Prokopenya previously owned a crypto-specific platform, Currency.com. He sold the platform earlier this year to a group of investors represented by CXNEST.
Meanwhile, the volume of trading on Capital.com’s platform continues to grow. In the second quarter of this year, brokers processed $849.6 billion in client trading volume, up 29% in the quarter.
Recently, Capital.com has hired Travis Robson as CEO of South Africa, suggesting plans to expand into the African market.
