Coinbase said that the EMEA region is “leading the charge” in implementing regulations for the crypto industry, referring to the development of regulations in the European Union (EU), the UK and the Emirates United Arabs.
Like many other major crypto companies, Coinbase has had to tighten its belt a bit in recent months, following the decline of the crypto market earlier this year, exacerbated by the crash of its generation FTX and recently. After announcing in June that it was laying off 1,100 employees, Coinbase laid off another 60 people from its recruiting and integration department earlier this month.
