Crypto companies are laying off staff
The ongoing crypto winter, which has been described as one the worst in the history of the industry, has seen countless established bitcoin (BTC) linked businesses kick the bucket, with several others resorting to downsizing to weather the storm.
Last week, reports emerged that Silvergate, a publicly traded crypto-friendly bank, is letting go of about 40 percent of its employees due to the current market downturn.
Leading US-based digital assets exchange Coinbase revealed plans to sack another 950 employees and slow down operations in Japan after laying off over 1,000 workers in June 2022.
