Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong Plans to Hire Former DOGE Team Members

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong announced plans to hire former members of the DOGE team, offering an accelerated hiring process for them. He emphasized their potential contribution to creating a more efficient financial system.

Armstrong shared a Fox News segment featuring Ethan Shaotran, a member of Musk's DOGE team, who discussed his experience and challenges faced due to his involvement with DOGE.
The accelerated hiring process is designed for individuals with "proof-of-work" from their time at DOGE.
Musk has distanced himself from DOGE following protests over the agency's budget cuts and data access issues.
DOGE was established in January 2025 by an executive order from U.S. President Donald Trump, aimed at modernizing government operations.
