"We grew ambitiously at the start of 2022, building on our incredible momentum and aligning with the trajectory of the broader industry. That trajectory changed rapidly with a confluence of negative economic developments," Kris Marszalek, co-founder and CEO, wrote in a post addressing the matter.
According to various social media profiles, Crypto.com has around 3,500-4,500 employees. This would make the current round of layoffs impact around 700-900 employees.
These layoffs come after the company made headcount reductions in mid-2022 as the crypto industry slowed after the collapse of the multibillion-dollar Terra ecosystem and crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital.
"The reductions we made last July positioned us to weather the macroeconomic downturn, but it did not account for the recent collapse of FTX, which significantly damaged trust in the industry. It’s for this reason, as we continue to focus on prudent financial management, we made the difficult but necessary decision to make additional reductions in order to position the company for long-term success," Marszalek wrote.
The exchange is the latest crypto firm to announce layoffs after Coinbase also cut nearly 20% of its staff. Blockchain.com and ConsenSys also reportedly let go off a significant portion of their staff.
Crypto.com has seen its CRO token drop by nearly 96% this year. The number of active addresses of CRO has dropped from 2,114 at the start of the year to around 640 as of this month.
