BitOasis layoff
BitOasis CEO and co-founder Ola Doudin stated that the exchange announced layoffs at three of its locations in Dubai and Jordan. The Bear market trend made many crypto exchanges are entering to the flow of mass layoffs.
He also stated that the firm was expanding too quickly and too comfortable at a time when the cryptocurrency market was surging. The team did not anticipate a decline of this magnitude, which is causing concern on most exchanges.
