Crypto.com, the digital asset platform, is reducing its global workforce by around 20%. It’s the latest cut in the industry since the collapse of cryptocurrency prices. Digital currencies have lost $2 trillion in value since their peak in 2021.
As Bloomberg reports, Kris Marszalek, the company’s CEO, said the “difficult” decision was made amid a focus on “prudent financial management” and “positioning the company for long-term success.”
Cryptocurrency firms collectively have cut 1,600 jobs in the first two weeks of 2023, rocked by the crypto price disaster. The collapse of the FTX exchange also hit the industry and downgraded its outlook.
