Crypto Company Ledger bekräftar planer på att säga upp 12% av sin personal
- Leverantören av kryptohårdvara plånbok Ledger, sa att jobbnedskärningarna berodde på björnmarknaden och kollapsen av FTX och Voyager.
- Trots nedskärningarna hävdade Gauthier att Ledger gjorde framsteg och hade några imponerande planer för framtiden.
- Flera kryptoföretag har annonserat nedskärningar som en del av sina planer på att överleva björnmarknaden.
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 delade nyheten i en blogginlägg 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 skrev till Ledger-anställda:
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, i blogginlägget, hävdade att Ledger Nanos för närvarande är tillgänglig i fler butiker globalt, med en stark närvaro i Indien, Tyskland, Australien och Förenade Arabemiraten.
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.
