Crypto wallet company Exodus has cut about 25% of its workforce.
The company is shifting towards paying more employees in stablecoins.
Exodus said the changes are part of a broader strategy to improve efficiency.

Crypto wallet provider Exodus has laid off about 25% of its employees as it restructures its business and expands the use of stablecoin payments.

The company said the workforce reduction is intended to improve operational efficiency while supporting its long-term growth strategy.

“We are aligning our team and operations to better support the future of the business,” an Exodus spokesperson said.

Exodus also plans to increase the use of stablecoins for employee compensation where regulations allow and workers choose that payment option.

The company said stablecoin payments can offer faster transfers and lower costs than some traditional cross-border payment methods.

The restructuring comes as crypto companies continue to reduce costs while investing in products and services with stronger long-term growth potential.

Exodus joins a growing number of digital asset firms exploring stablecoins for payroll and international payments as blockchain adoption expands.
