Crypto exchange Huobi plans to lay off about 20% of its staff, the company told Reuters on Friday, in the latest sign of sharp cost cutting in the industry as investor interest in digital assets slumps.
“The planned layoff ratio is about 20%, but it is not implemented now. With the current state of the bear market, a very lean team will be maintained going forward,” Huobi said in a statement, responding to queries from Reuters.
