The data shows a spike in layoffs in June 2022 following the crash of Terra Luna as well as another spike in November 2022 following the FTX collapse, with both months’ layoff numbers jumping well above the 1,020 monthly average.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In the first two months of 2023 alone, crypto layoffs have reached 3,029, which is just over 30% of the total layoffs in 2022 – potentially putting 2023 on track to far surpass the layoffs of 2022.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Singapore, San Francisco and New York City<\/b> are the cities who have been hardest hit by crypto layoffs over the last year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Singapore took first place with 3,719 crypto layoffs, owing mainly to the small island being the home of major firm Crypto.com, who made mass layoffs in 2022 and 2023 totalling an estimated 2,750 employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Liam Solomon, Growth Manager at Bitcoin Casinos<\/a> commented:<\/b><\/p>\n

\u201cThe crypto market remains uncertain for both investors and workers as we move through early 2023. The recent layoffs may signal the end of the \u2018crypto boom\u2019 but not the industry itself. Whilst the recent news of big players folding and numerous firms cutting workforce numbers point to downturn for the immediate future, most firms are just returning to their pre-boom size.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

As with other start-ups, businesses and entities made from shaky foundations aren\u2019t likely to succeed. Fad offerings and trendy job roles will be shed by companies but the useful, valuable roles within crypto will become even more important.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Skills in marketing, tech, UX, accounting and even compliance are likely to grow in demand – so workers unsure of their future would be smart to look into more \u2018traditional\u2019 roles if they wish to continue their crypto careers.\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
