Coinbase lays off 18% of workforce as executives prepare for recession and ‘crypto winter’

June 14, 2022
  • Coinbase will cut 18% of full-time jobs, according to an email sent to employees Tuesday.
  • CEO Brian Armstrong pointed to a possible recession, a need to manage costs and growing “too quickly” during a bull market.
  • “We appear to be entering a recession after a 10+ year economic boom,” Armstrong says. “While it’s hard to predict the economy or the markets, we always plan for the worst so we can operate the business through any environment.”
