Coinbase, the biggest cryptocurrency in the United States, has provided an update on its hiring process via a blog post. In the post, L.J Brock, the Chief People Officer of the exchange, confirmed that the firm "will extend our hiring pause for both new and backfill roles for the foreseeable future and rescind a number of accepted offers."

Coinbase to pause hiring?

Coinbase had paused its hiring process two weeks ago and has now decided to adopt "more stringent measures" to slow its headcount growth to deal with current macroeconomic conditions and rising inflation levels. It is also important to note that the rising interest rates have rocked the cryptocurrency market, and Bitcoin (BTC), the world's biggest cryptocurrency, has dropped more than 50% low from its all-time high. 
"Adapting quickly and acting now will help us to successfully navigate this macro environment and emerge even stronger, enabling further healthy growth and innovation," said the Chief People Officer in the blog post
However, Coinbase is not the only exchange to pause hiring processes despite its plans to expand worldwide. Recently, Gemini, a cryptocurrency trading platform founded by brothers Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, revealed plans to let go 10% of its staff due to the current market scenario. 

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong was present at the earnings call of the firm, wherein he revealed that the exchange had suffered its first net loss as a public company of $430 million for the first quarter of 2022.

Crypto Winter

According to the Winklevoss brothers, the crypto winter has arrived, which has been a result of the current macroeconomic and geopolitical turmoil following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia. The brothers said:
"This is where we are now, in the contraction phase that is settling into a period of stasis — what our industry refers to as "crypto winter." This has all been further compounded by the current macroeconomic and geopolitical turmoil. We are not alone."

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.

No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.

Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.

We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
