Binance Cuts Over 1,000 Jobs As Crypto Exchange Faces Regulatory Hurdles
Portfolio Pulse from Piero Cingari
Binance, a major cryptocurrency exchange, has reportedly laid off over 1,000 employees globally due to regulatory challenges, particularly in the U.S. and Europe. The layoffs could result in Binance losing more than a third of its staff. This comes amid a series of regulatory actions against the company by U.S. authorities, including a lawsuit by the SEC and an ongoing investigation by the Justice Department. Binance.US, a separate exchange in the U.S., has also been facing challenges after the SEC lawsuit.
