- Bithumb’s number of employees will reduce from 310 at the start of March to around 150.
- Bithumb joins several other cryptocurrency companies in being forced to downsize as a result of the decline in the value of the crypto market over the last year.
South Korea’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, Bithumb, announced that they are reducing their staff by 50%. This move will reduce its number of employees from 310 at the start of March to around 150. Bithumb has developed a company-sponsored program to help former employees. The program will help the employees by providing support and training to find new work.
A Bithumb official said:
“Voluntary retirement is part of our support program for former employees and is intended to provide assistance and training for job placement. Apart from that, [Bithumb’s] trading volume has decreased compared to the previous year, [so] we are trying to provide internal measures. We will continue to add necessary personnel for various new businesses.”
