A number of technology companies are undergoing or facing massive layoffs, largely due in part to the rise of AI, and while some people may tune out the news because it feels concentrated on one industry,
Coinbase is set to report earnings on May 7.
Coinbase will cut roughly 14% of its workforce, citing a combination of market volatility and the how AI is quickly changing how the company operates.
In a Tuesday X post, CEO Brian Armstrong said the cuts were to "be leaner, faster, and more efficient for our next phase of growth."
The partnership includes a strategic investment by Coinbase and is focused on expanding tokenized ETFs, credit, and structured products.
"Over the past year, I've watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks," Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong wrote.
We are not just reducing headcount and cutting costs, we’re fundamentally changing how we operate,” CEO Brian Armstrong said.
