Binance plans new round of layoffs amid increased regulatory scrutiny By Cointelegraph

A fresh headcount reduction is coming to crypto exchange Binance, which is reportedly planning to lay off 20% of its workforce in June. The job cuts come after the company said earlier this year it would not lay off any employees.

According to the exchange, the decision is not a downsizing but rather a resource reallocation. “As we prepare for the next major bull cycle, it has become clear that we need to focus on talent density across the organization to ensure we remain nimble and dynamic,” a spokesperson told Cointelegraph.
