Ledger has announced that it will be reducing its existing staff members by 22% going forward. The hardware crypto wallet manufacturer Ledger, is currently home to more than 734 employees. The new development affirms that an estimated 98 staff members have been relieved of their duties.

In a letter sent to employees, and reposted in a blog post for the sake of transparency, the CEO and Chairman at Ledger, Pascal Gauthier, said the following;

Macroeconomic headwinds are limiting our ability to generate revenue, and in response to the current market conditions and business realities, we must reduce roles across the global business. Sadly, this means we are making the difficult decision to reduce 12% of the roles at Ledger.

The CEO highlighted the bearish events of the previous years, noting the impact that these events have had on Ledger as a company. While these incidents can disrupt progress, Gauthier acknowledges that it can provide an opportunity for strengthening businesses.

Notably, Gauthier also revealed that the company will continue to focus on developing its piston in the market with new rollouts, with the subscription service Ledger Recover being at the forefront of this movement. He asserts.

We will soon launch our subscription service Ledger Recover, which will enable millions to securely back up their Secret Recovery Phrase. This is a necessary service for the next wave of new users to join self-custody and Ledger.

Ledger is the latest crypto-based blockchain to cut down on its staff. Before the new development, leading cryptocurrency platforms like Coinbase and Binance had left the market in shock, after announcing multiple layoffs.

Back in January, the U.S.-based cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase disclosed its plans to lay off as much as 20% of its staff. The move was carried out in a bid to cut costs as the cryptocurrency market continued to record a decline.

Coinbase layers off more than 900 employees, as stated in a memo sent to its staff. Before this, the exchange had laid off 1,100 employees in the previous year.

Similarly, Binance cryptocurrency exchange slashed its employees and laid off more than 1,000 people. Although the exchange was battling a series of legal setbacks at the time, it didnt stop the largest crypto exchange from reducing its employees by a significant fraction.

The event led market players to believe that the exchange was either crumbling, or the cryptocurrency market was heading towards collapse. However, Binance clarified that the decision was made as Binance recommitted to increasing talent diversity. Changpeng Zhao, the CEO of Binance went on to state that the exchange was still open to hiring new talent.

PRESS RELEASE

Published October 6, 2023

DUBAI, UAE / ACCESSWIRE / October 6, 2023 / Cryptocurrencies are here to stay, according to Bader Kalooti, Regional Director of Growth and Operations at Binance, the largest cryptocurrency in the world. "Web3 and blockchain have proven a powerful solution to drive efficiency, transfer value more effectively, and add a layer of trust, transparency, and immutability to any sector, not just finance. I am very bullish personally."

Kalooti was a guest on the MENA Surge Podcast hosted by Steven Besse on September 23, the ultimate source for all things Web3 and fintech related in the MENA region. The podcast is powered by Future Blockchain Summit taking place in Dubai Harbor from October 15 to 18, alongside Expand North Star and Fintech Surge and in association with GITEX GLOBAL.

"It has been very exciting to be part of that story and bring Web3 into MENA. And it is not just an element of copy and paste' anymore. It is a new paradigm whereby we are actually innovating a new technological trend from this region," said Kalooti.

A challenge in the cryptocurrency and Web3 space remains a lack of awareness and knowledge, which translates into skepticism and uncertainty on the part of many potential users. "With the emergence of any new technology, there is a tendency for it to be quite esoteric, meaning that a very small percentage of the population will relate to that new technology. Therefore, education plays an instrumental role to drive mass adoption," said Kalooti.

Binance recently launched a curated crash course called Blockchain for Everyone', translated into Arabic, that presents the fundamentals of Web3 in an easily digestible manner. Attendees who complete the course are presented with an NFT certificate.

Kalooti stressed it is important to distinguish between novice versus expert cryptocurrency users. Catering to both ends of the spectrum, Binance Light allows new users to be onboarded and navigate the product offering, while Binance Pro is a feature-rich platform catering for more sophisticated investors.

Looking at Dubai in particular and what has established it as the global crypto hub', Kalooti points to the global liquidity cycle as an important short-term driver. "That is highly volatile," he acknowledged. However, over the long term, it is driven by network adoption and regulations. An entrepreneur will come up with a new idea but have to establish a product market fit in an ambiguous environment where the rules are unclear, a typical Wild West' scenario. After a certain level of scale, the regulator steps in to play catch up and establish the rules of the game.

Far from replacing Web2, Kalooti emphasized that Web3 wields the benefits of blockchain to improve efficiency and productivity. "That is an area where we see a lot of opportunity for use cases. It is important to understand that young talent is flocking towards the space. And there is a lot of capital flowing back to those entrepreneurs. Eventually you will get those killer apps that come on chain and bring a wave of a billion plus users, very similar to what Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube did for Web2 in the mid-2000s."

Cryptocurrency adoption is currently at the same developmental phase as the internet was in 1999. The total market capitalisation of the cryptocurrency industry is around US$1 trillion, a third of the market capitalisation of Apple alone. "We are relatively still quite early in the journey. Just sit back and relax. I know it has been a turbulent ride. Fasten your seat belts because we will ultimately arrive at our intended destination," concluded Kalooti.

Future Blockchain Summit continues to cement its position as a leading platform for showcasing cutting-edge blockchain solutions. For more information about the upcoming event, visit: https://www.futureblockchainsummit.com/.
