Paxos recently reduced its workforce by 20%, impacting 65 team members. Charles ‘Chad’ Cascarilla, CEO of Paxos, communicated this decision through an internal email. He explained that the reduction is part of a strategic pivot towards maximizing opportunities in tokenization and regulated stablecoins.
The co-founder and CEO of Paxos emailed,&nbsp; “This allows us to best execute on the massive opportunity ahead in tokenization and stablecoins. With over $500 million on the balance sheet, we are in a very strong financial position to succeed.”
Support for Impacted Employees
Despite the layoffs, Paxos ensures substantial support for the affected employees. The company has offered a severance package that includes 13 weeks of pay, subsidized health insurance for three months, and extended exercise time for vested options of up to two years.&nbsp;
Furthermore, those eligible for quarterly bonuses received these alongside additional benefits for those on approved leaves.
Enhancing Focus on Core Operations
The layoffs follow Paxos’s introduction of the <a href="https://www.cryptotimes.io/2024/06/06/paxos-international-debuts-yield-bearing-lift-dollar-in-argentina/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Lift Dollar</a> (USDL), a regulated yield-bearing stablecoin. The move underlines the company’s commitment to scaling and refining its stablecoin offerings.&nbsp;
Cascarilla highlighted that while the decision to streamline was difficult, it is essential for the company to focus on its core business areas and reduce efforts on less critical projects.
Paxos aims to fortify its position in the financial market through strategic focus and effective resource management, navigating the evolving demands of the digital currency landscape.
