Coinbase has launched an Engineering Center in Singapore to develop the developer ecosystem and support blockchain innovations in the Asia-Pacific region. A partnership with the Economic Development Board (EDB) will help local engineers create an accessible crypto economy.
Filbert Gomez from DISG noted that the center will expand opportunities for product engineering professionals and strengthen Singapore's status as a hub for blockchain innovations.
