Bybit has resorted to work-force trimming in order to keep its business afloat in the global crypto sector, that is currently undergoing a slump. The Singapore-based crypto exchange has not disclosed exactly how many employees have been or are being laid off.

Bybit is no exception apart from the fact that we have taken extreme steps to maintain our workforce for as long as possible during this crisis,” CryptoPotato quoted the spokesperson as saying.
