In a message to his team and shared with the public, co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, Kris Marszalek, has stated that multiple reasons have led to the hard decision of reducing the workforce. These include the ongoing economic challenges and unexpected happenings in the industry.

“We grew ambitiously at the start of 2022…That trajectory changed rapidly with a confluence of negative economic developments.” Kris, via company news.

He went on to say that the previous downsizing of employees had helped to prepare the company for the financial storm. However, they did not anticipate the fall of FTX.
