To cope up with the tremendous loss in the crypto market implosion, the crypto exchanges have chosen the method of cutting off or reducing the head count of their respective companies as a cost cutting method. The cryptocurrency market is seeing a downward trend for past couple of months after reaching a peak of about $3 Trillion in November. The world’s largest cryptocurrency ‘Bitcoin’ has witnessed fall in price for 12 weeks straight.
Not only, Crypto.com and BlockFi, but also crypto exchanges such as Gemini, Rain Financial have implemented the method of reducing their head count to help the company revive by saving costs. Not only that, one of the biggest crypto exchanges Coinbase, went on to declare that it would be rescinding some job offers and would pause hiring to cut costs.
Writer’s Report:
It is certainly evident that the crypto exchanges are seriously considering the reduction of headcount to cut costs and save moneys of the company. The actual problem by this method is that, they have a possibility of loosing out on employees who can actually put in the work ethics to save the company. The other defect of this approach is that, there is no guaranteed results, which means, reducing headcount and cutting cost doesn’t guarantee the company that the market will be revived and brought back to normalcy.
