900 people are working for the Ethereum studio in New York City. The precise amount of cuts is yet unknown, according to the individual, who also noted that it is believed they are in the last stages of being finalized.
With U.S. exchange Coinbase announcing cutbacks of 20% of its personnel, or approximately 950 positions, on Tuesday, it’s compounding what has already been a horrible week for crypto employment. Since April of last year, the industry has shed, according to CoinDesk, close to 27,000 employees.

The exact number of employees that could be laid off is not precise, as the reductions have yet to be finalized, the source told CoinDesk.
