Bittrex Announces Layoffs of 83 Employees Amid Unfavorable Market Conditions

  • Bittrex, a U.S. digital currency exchange, will fire 83 workers to survive macroeconomic circumstances.
  • The employment layoffs were attributed to various digital currency exchange crashes.
  • After massive industry breakdowns, a internal email from the Bittrex’s leadership highlighted financial issues.
