总部位于奥地利的加密货币交易平台 Bitpanda 周六在一篇博客文章中透露，它正在裁员以维持可持续性。
随着加密冬天的到来，Web3 公司处于裁员的尴尬境地。
在周六清晨的一次公司电话会议上，Bitpanda 透露了 730 名员工的需求，占其当前员工总数的 34%。根据众多新闻来源，该公司雇用了大约 1,000 名员工。
Bitpanda 加入了越来越多的加密公司的行列，这些公司已宣布裁员以应对近期的市场不稳定。

其他裁员的公司包括 Crypto.com、BlockFi、Bitso、Buenbit 和 Coinbase，它们已裁员近 20%，并撤回了之前的工作机会。
Bitpanda 表示，它接受自己的失败，同时强调当前的熊市、地缘政治紧张局势、通胀上升和更广泛的全球经济问题：
“我们达到了这样一个地步：更多的人加入并没有提高我们的生产力，反而增加了协调成本，尤其是考虑到这个新的市场现实……现在回头看，我们知道我们的招聘率是不可持续的。那是个错误。”
Bitpanda 去年 8 月在 C 轮融资中筹集了 2.63 亿美元，公司估值为 41 亿美元，然后开始雄心勃勃地向新领域扩张。

鉴于今年加密资产的市值缩水超过 1 万亿美元，该公司目前的估值可能只是这一数字的一小部分。
Bitpanda 表示，受影响的员工将获得“超越”劳动法的福利，包括与人才招聘合作者的个性化指导、推荐信和心理咨询。
Bitpanda 由 Paul Klanschek、Eric Demuth 和 Christian Trummer 于 2014 年 10 月创立，是比特币、以太坊等数字资产和黄金、白银等大宗商品的交易平台。

联席首席执行官兼联合创始人 Demuth 在上个月的一次采访中告诉 Sifted，他对目前加密市场的自由落体感到“完全放松”，而且像这样的情况“并不重要”。
他说，说到这家公司，他们“不同寻常”，因为自八年前成立以来，他们每年都在稳定盈利。
Bitpanda 得到了科技亿万富翁彼得泰尔的支持，他在 2020 年 9 月至 2021 年 8 月期间率先为欧洲交易所筹集了总额超过 50 亿美元的资金。
Demuth 表示，他对全球加密市场的现状并不担心，因为如果加密冬天持续很长一段时间，他们会有“良好的现金储备”。
“我们对此并不担心，”他补充道。
