Employees impacted by the decision have already been informed and are being offered support to help with their transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The move comes shortly after Crypto.com acquired the AI.com domain in February for a reported 70 million dollars, which the company sees as a foundation for developing autonomous AI systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marszalek did not disclose the company\u2019s total workforce size or the exact number of employees affected, nor did he detail the financial impact of the restructuring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Industry trend toward smaller AI powered teams<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shift reflects a broader trend across the tech and fintech sectors. Earlier this year, Block, led by Jack Dorsey, cut more than 4,000 jobs across its platforms, including Cash App, Afterpay, and Square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the time, Dorsey emphasized that future business models would rely on smaller teams supported by AI tools to boost efficiency and productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interestingly, reports suggest that Block has since rehired some of the affected workers. Several former employees shared on social media that they were invited back, including Andrew Harvard, who said his initial layoff was attributed to an administrative mistake.#crypto#cryptonews<a href=\"https:\/\/coinsignals.net\">https:\/\/coinsignals.net<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic\">https:\/\/t.me\/coinsignalpublic<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crypto.com is set to reduce its workforce by about 12 percent as part of a broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence across its operations.
