Layoffs in Crypto Sector Not an Hinderance to Ripple’s Growth
Ripple has shown an impressive dedication to growth. The company’s commitment to expansion is notable, especially considering that other companies within the cryptocurrency industry have been implementing frequent layoffs.
Fortune, a well-known media source, has reported that numerous companies in the cryptocurrency industry, including Genesis, Luno, Huobi, DCG, and Crypto.com, have collectively cut over 2,000 jobs this year alone.
In January, Blockchain.com, a cryptocurrency brokerage firm, reduced its workforce by 28%, equivalent to 110 employees. Similarly, Coinbase, a cryptocurrency exchange based in the United States, laid off approximately 950 employees, representing 20% of its team, during the same month.
