Crypto Company Ledger bevestigt plannen om 12% van zijn personeel te ontslaan
- Crypto-hardware portemonnee-aanbieder Ledger zei dat het banenverlies te wijten was aan de bearmarkt en de ineenstorting van FTX en Voyager.
- Ondanks het banenverlies beweerde Gauthier dat Ledger vooruitgang boekte en een aantal indrukwekkende plannen voor de toekomst had.
- Verschillende cryptobedrijven hebben banenverlies aangekondigd als onderdeel van hun plannen om de bearmarkt te overleven.
Pascal Gauthier, CEO of crypto hardware wallet provider Ledger, confirmed on Thursday that the company is laying off 12% of its staff due to several economic factors, such as the bear market and the collapse of prominent firms such as Voyager and Bankman-Fried’s FTX.
Gauthier deelde het nieuws in een blogpost where he wrote that “macroeconomic headwinds are limiting our ability to generate revenue” and that “in response to the current market conditions and business realities, we must reduce roles across the global business.”
Ledger’s job cut is likely to have affected around 88 employees since the company’s LinkedIn data suggests that it employs around 734 workers. Interestingly, Gauthier said the decision would ensure “the longevity of the business.”
Gauthier schreef aan Ledger-medewerkers:
For the next part of our journey, know this: we will come out of this period stronger, and I’m counting on everyone at Ledger to step up as a leader. We are an important part of the development of our industry, and it’s our duty to act responsibly and seriously to push through these difficult times.
The company’s CEO also reassured staff that Ledger had made significant progress recently, despite the decision to lay off employees. He told employees that Ledger had seen “increased usage, revenue, and transactional volume within Ledger Live.”
Gauthier added that Ledger has better distribution for Ledger Nanos and has “exciting new products and services to come, including Ledger Recover and Ledger Stax.”
Ledger Recover is a subscription service that “will enable millions to securely back up their secret recovery phrase”
Gauthier beweerde in de blogpost dat Ledger Nanos momenteel in meer winkels wereldwijd verkrijgbaar is, met een sterke aanwezigheid in India, Duitsland, Australië en de VAE.
Thursday’s announcement comes months after Ledger raised over $109 million and attained a $1.4 billion valuation. Furthermore, Ledger integrated its Live software with PayPal in August, making it possible for U.S. users with verified PayPal accounts to purchase cryptocurrency.
