Den ledande kryptoutbytesplattformen i Indien, WazirX, är den senaste att gå med i listan över företag som lider av den pågående kryptomarknaden, genom att tillkännage en 40% uppsägning av sina anställda.
According to a recently shared statement by the exchange, it has laid off several employees from its 150-membered team, notably 50 to as many as 70 in count. Three sources close to the matter told CoinDesk that the laid off employees were informed on Friday that they would receive their salary for the next 45 days. However, the company has reportedly revoked the laid off employees’ access as their services would not be required effective immediately.
WazirX said in a statement on Saturday that the crypto market is currently in its winter season because of the “current global economic slowdown.”
“The Indian crypto industry has had its unique problems with respect to taxes, regulations, and banking access. This has led to a dramatic fall in volumes in all Indian crypto exchanges,”
Det tillade vidare.
Enligt uttalanden från en av källorna har WazirX klippt anställda från en rad avdelningar, inklusive mänskliga resurser, kundsupport, bland annat. Dessutom är analytiker, chefer och associerade chefer några av de tjänster som sägs upp.
Interestingly, an employee who “abruptly” lost their job reported that Nischal Shetty’s company has fired the entire public policy and communication team.
Enligt Codesk, the exchange claims to prioritize financial stability and quality services to its customers and to achieve the same, it took this difficult decision of reducing its staff to “weather the crypto winter.”
Noterbart, under den senaste kryptobjörnmarknaden 2018, hade den indiska börsjätten fördubblats och byggt sin innovativa peer-to-peer-motor (P2P).
Uttalandet lyder:
“The crypto industry operates in cycles, and the bear market is inevitably followed by a spectacular bull market. We will continue to focus on our customers’ needs and continue to build. We are confident that we will come out stronger when the bull market arrives.”
Föreskriftsgranskning
It is important to note that the reported layoff decision comes soon after the company received severe scrutiny from the India’s Enforcement Directorate for alleged money laundering activities. The regulator searched the premises of the WazirX’s director, and following the exercises, confiscated the sum of $8.13 million belonging to the exchange.
Senare, i september, låste myndigheterna upp deras bankkonton som ett resultat av dess aktiva samarbete i den pågående penningtvättsutredningen.
After India’s strict crypto tax rules went into effect in March 2022, WazirX Co-Founder Nischal Shetty stated that “we have entered a period of pain.” Daily trading volume on the exchange have been continuously dropping, clearly weakening operations within the company.
