The decentralized crypto exchange laid off more than a third of its workforce on the same day Ethereum development firm Consensys cut 162 employees.
dYdX Trading, the firm behind the decentralized crypto exchange, has laid off 35% of its staff, with its newly returned CEO Antonio Juliano hinting at the need for a new company direction.
“Today, I made the incredibly difficult decision to lay off 35% of the dYdX core team,” said Juliano, who rejoined as CEO of the company on Oct. 10 after stepping away from the role in May.
It comes on the same day that Consensys — the firm behind MetaMask — reduced its workforce by 20% in a bid to become a “more agile organization,” according to CEO Joe Lubin.
