Chainalysis Hit by Crypto Winter, Announces Second Round of Layoffs

  • Chainalysis is planning to lay off approximately 150 of its 900 staff members as part of a strategic shift.
  • This layoff follows a smaller one in February, which affected about 4.8% of the staff.
  • The company’s CEO, Michael Gronager, explained that the layoffs are a necessary step as they pivot towards serving clients in the public sector, with a focus on government agencies.
  • Chainalysis had been generating revenue from both government agencies and private sector firms, but due to ongoing market contractions, they are downsizing their private sector offerings.
  • Despite the layoffs, Chainalysis remains financially stable with ample cash reserves, and the company plans to continue developing new software solutions while prioritizing profitability and maturity.
