<p>Kraken has had a streak of misfortunes. Its 2022 involved divisive internal policies by Powell fueling a culture war inside the company, with a federal investigation for possible breaches of sanctions; he stepped down later that year. Later, in 2022, Kraken job cut 30% of its staff after <a href="https://coincu.com/287222-ftx-sol-staking-withdrawals-total-28m/" data-type="link" data-id="https://coincu.com/287222-ftx-sol-staking-withdrawals-total-28m/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">crypto exchange FTX collapsed</a> and precipitated an industry decline. The cuts announced today represent the company's second major round of layoffs in less than two years.</p>  
<p>While the cryptocurrency market has partly rebounded, and Bitcoin reached new highs this year, companies like Kraken are still choosing the leaner route. Kraken brought in more than $1 billion in net revenue; however, the co-CEOs decided that simplified management would help employees "focus on building rather than managing.</p>
