Crypto’s Winter is Here: 180 Jobs Vanish as AI Takes the Throne!

Amidst the frostbitten corridors of Crypto.Com’s headquarters, where once the hum of ambition thrummed like a thousand overclocked GPUs, a silence now settles-a silence punctuated by the soft click of exit interviews. Twelve percent of the workforce, 180 souls, have been unceremoniously shuffled into the void, their desks left as hollow relics of a bygone era.

Meanwhile, the crypto market, ever the fickle muse, languishes in a torpor, its traders reduced to whispering to ghosts in the blockchain. Regulations tighten like a noose, and the survivors cling to the company’s new mantra: “Adapt or evaporate.”
