Exodus to cut 25% of global workforce in payments shift

Picha iliyoundwa na AI

Crypto wallet firm Exodus Movement announced plans to reduce its workforce by about 25 percent as it shifts focus to stablecoin payments and card infrastructure.

The Omaha, Nebraska-based company said on Friday that it will cut about 54 workers from its global workforce. The restructuring follows acquisitions of Monavate and Baanx and aims to build a full-stack payments platform.

Exodus expects to record pre-tax restructuring charges of between $2.5 million and $3.5 million, mostly for severance and employee-related costs. Affected workers will receive severance, continued benefits and transition support.

The move is projected to generate annual cash operating expense savings of $10 million to $13 million, with the full benefit expected in 2027. Shares of EXOD rose 2.2 percent in early trading Monday.

Watu wanasema nini

Initial X reactions to Exodus's 25% workforce cut for stablecoin payments pivot show mixed sentiments: journalists like Laura Shin note the strategic shift from swap fees; skeptics like Kashyap Sriram highlight stock drop and risks of abandoning core wallet business; others view it as desperation or a bold bet on payments infrastructure.
