Mercado Bitcoin parent 2TM koondab rohkem töötajaid, nõuab reguleerimist

Brasiilia krüptovaluutabörsi Mercado Bitcoin emaettevõte 2TM koondab pärast seda umbes 15% oma töötajatest, ligi 100 töötajat. kärped juunis.

CoinDesk kõigepealt teatas uudiseid 1. sept. 

It’s the latest round of layoffs among Latin America-based crypto companies in recent months. Mexico’s Bitso, a crypto exchange, announced it would cut 80 employees in May, and Argentine exchange Buenbit told The Block the same month that it had reduced its staff from 215 to 115 employees. 

Töökohtade kaotus tuleneb krüptovarade hindade kokkuvarisemisest, sealhulgas selle aasta alguses toimunud Terra/Luna krahhist, aga ka ülemaailmsest üldisest majanduskasvu aeglustumisest koos inflatsiooni pideva kasvuga.

2TM süüdistas ka Brasiilia regulatsiooni puudumist, mis seab kohalikud krüptoettevõtted ebasoodsasse olukorda.

“At 2TM, we unified our brands and concluded the integration of companies acquired in 2021, seeking efficiency and synergy,” 2TM said in a  statement shared with The Block. “Even so, adversity in the economy continues, and the competitive environment continues deteriorated and unfair without the approval of the legal framework for crypto assets, with players that follow the laws penalized against companies that ignore local rules.”

Brazil’s Congress was expected to have already passed a long-awaited crypto regulation after the Senate kinnitas selle aprillis, kuid eelnõu on viibinud, kuna see ootab alamkojas heakskiitu. see on Ebatõenäoline to become law ahead of the country’s presidential elections in October.

Juulis lükkas kongresmen Expedito Netto tagasi kaks seaduseelnõu senati versiooni sätet: üks oli seotud varade eraldamisega ja teine ​​nõuaks välismaiste ettevõtete registreerimist Brasiilias juriidiliste isikutena, teatas finantsleht Valor Econômico. teatatud aasta juulis.

Krüptoettevõtted on võtnud erinevaid seisukohti selle kohta, kas need sätted tuleks lisada ja kuidas.

Binance, mis on astunud samme omandama a local Brazilian brokerage authorized by the country’s securities regulator, told The Block in July that it supports regulation in Brazil and elsewhere. However, it believes smaller companies would be negatively impacted by having to comply with new regulations without an adjustment period. It also took the view that the Senate bill did not do enough to explain how the asset-segregation rules would apply to different institutions, therefore creating uncertainty.  

In July,  Mercado Bitcoin CEO Reinaldo Rabelo told The Block crypto regulation in Brazil is “a fundamental and urgent step.”

“Standardization, when done well, goes far from being a restriction and guarantees freedom with responsibility,” he said. “It brings legal certainty that stimulates innovation, investments and entrepreneurship, strengthening the country’s position in the new digital economy.”

2TM kogus novembris oma B-seeria rahastamisvooru teise sulgemisega 50 miljonit dollarit, mis järgnes $ 200 miljonit SoftBanki Ladina-Ameerika fondi sulgemine juulis. Ettevõte teatas jaanuaris, et see laienes Euroopasse Lissaboni börsiga CriptoLoja.

Mercado Bitcoin’s Rabelo told The Block that the exchange reported its highest-ever volume in 2021, with transactions totaling more than 40 billion Brazilian reals (about $7.74 billion at today’s exchange rate).
