Crypto Brokerage Blockchain.com Lays Off 28% of Workforce as Industry's Cruel Winter Continues
The company is shedding 110 staffers in a bloody week of layoffs across the crypto sector.
Von Ian Allison
Cryptocurrency brokerage Blockchain.com said it's letting go of 28% of its workforce, or about 110 employees, adding to a dreadful week of bloodletting across the battered cryptocurrency industry.
Thursday’s job losses come after Blockchain.com was forced to cut about 150 staff in July, as the firm grappled with a $270 million hit on loans it made to failed hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.

“The crypto ecosystem is facing significant headwinds as its course corrects from the challenges of the last year,” said a Blockchain.com representative via email. “To better balance product offerings with demand, we’ve made the difficult decision to reduce operating costs and headcount to rightsize the company."
Blockchain’s losses compound a grim week in crypto that saw U.S. exchange Coinbase announce cuts of 20% of its staff, or around 950 jobs, followed by news that Ethereum development firm ConsenSys plans to lay off 100 or more staffers. CoinDesk estimates nearly 27,000 jobs have been lost across the industry since April of last year.
Blockchain.com is now left with a staff of 280, having grown from 160 employees at the start of 2021. All impacted employees are receiving severance packages, the details of which vary by country, the company said.
