知情人士称，巴西加密货币独角兽 2TM 解雇了大约 90 名员工，理由是“加密货币冬季”或价格暴跌后长时间的持平交易。
2TM 是 Mercado Bitcoin 的投资公司，Mercado Bitcoin 是巴西市值最大的加密货币交易所。裁员人数占公司总人数的 12%。

Crypto Winter 的到来影响的不仅仅是个人投资者。拉丁美洲和美国一些最重要的加密货币交易所已经裁员，以应对不断恶化的全球经济。
根据 2TM 的 LinkedIn 页面，Mercado Bitcoin Market 拥有 580 多名员工，而 2TM 不到一百人。
2TM发表声明说：
“不断变化的全球金融格局、不断上升的利率和通货膨胀对科技公司产生了重大影响。”
此外，该公司表示，由于超出削减运营成本的调整，有必要裁员一部分员工。
巴西报纸《O Estado de So Paulo》率先爆出软银集团旗下公司裁员的消息。

11 月，2TM 从投资者那里获得了 5000 万美元，其中包括部落资本和 10T 控股。该公司此前与 Coinbase Global 的一项交易有关，该交易可能导致出售少数股权。
2TM是软银集团支持的第二家裁员企业。

由于加密货币的流动性瓶颈持续存在，交易所和加密业务可能会实施额外的成本削减措施。
如果说加密货币的冬天和夏天一样，那么真正的冬天可能会为加密货币带来更多不愉快的事情。
