Digital Assets Unicorn Fireblocks Firing 5% of Staff

Fireblocks, which has developed an enterprise-grade platform for moving, storing, and issuing digital assets, is laying off 30 employees, accounting for 5% of the team. This is the first time the company has laid off employees since the start of the crisis in high-tech, with around half of those leaving Fireblocks being based out of Israel.

Fireblocks, which raised $550 million at an $8 billion valuation in January of 2022, announced last September that its 2022 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) had surpassed $100 million just four years after the company’s inception and three years since its first product went to market.

  • Left Curve

    Some of you think you are masters of the universe right now because you bought Solana sub $10 and sold it at $200. Others did the smart thing and sold fiat for crypto during the 2021 to 2023 bear market but lightened up as prices surged in the first quarter of this year. If you sold shitcoins for Bitcoin, you get a pass. Bitcoin is the hardest money ever created. If you sold shitcoins for fiat that you don’t immediately need for living expenses, you are fucking up.
