Crypto exchange Coinbase slashes staff by 18% amid bear market By Cointelegraph

Coinbase (NASDAQ:) CEO Brian Armstrong officially announced on Tuesday that he made a “difficult decision” to reduce the size of the Coinbase team by about 18% due to a starting economic recession.

“We appear to be entering a recession after a 10+ year economic boom. A recession could lead to another crypto winter, and could last for an extended period,” Armstrong wrote. He added that the trading revenue significantly declined during past crypto winters, noting that Coinbase has survived through four major crypto winters since its foundation in 2012.
