(Bloomberg) -- Crypto exchange OKX is entering into employment consultation with staff at its Dublin unit, a spokesperson said Monday.
- Spokesperson declines to comment on number of jobs affected; says it’s less than 1% of OKX’s global workforce
- The affected workers are employed through OKBL (Dublin) Services and Technology
- “This is primarily a global resourcing decision on our part, and we intend to grow our global headcount in 2023”: spokesperson
- NOTE: Crypto firms have cut thousands of jobs in 2023, as companies like Coinbase, Crypto.com and Gemini Trust contend with crypto winter
