Wu Says, BitGo CEO Mike Belshe stated that the company will lay off nearly 15% of its staff. He said that as the ecosystem and financial services construction methods change, BitGo needs to focus more on core areas such as security, trading, stablecoins, settlement, and AI-driven infrastructure. Affected employees have been directly notified by management and HR; Belshe indicated that this round of layoffs is a one-time action, and no further layoffs are currently expected.

15% of the people received direct notifications—management is quite efficient, I suppose. Hope the compensation is paid in full and doesn't break people's hearts.

15% is pretty harsh, but cutting it all at once is better than slowly “cutting away flesh” with a blunt knife. Belshe said they won’t continue further layoffs, hoping toI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.

BitGo's 15% layoffs seem scary, but focusing on core tracks is indeed the survival logic of established custodians, and stablecoins and AI infrastructure are indeed the main battlegrounds ahead.

Old-school custodians can't hold on anymore? The ecosystem is changing too fast. Security + stablecoins + AI — this combination sounds like the standard answer for all institutions.

The layoff news came out, and my first reaction was that the custody business is also not doing well. RWA and stablecoin settlement are indeed new growth points.
