PANews May 5 news, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong disclosed the reasons for layoffs in a post on the X platform. He stated that this adjustment is based on two main factors: firstly, the crypto market still has cyclical fluctuations, and the company needs to optimize its cost structure during the current downturn; secondly, AI is significantly changing the way software development and organizational collaboration occur, enabling engineering and non-technical teams to greatly enhance delivery efficiency with the help of AI.
In terms of organizational restructuring, Coinbase will implement several adjustments, including compressing organizational levels to a maximum of five levels, promoting a "flat and empowered" structure, and requiring managers to possess frontline execution capabilities (player-coach model). At the same time, the company will explore "AI-native teams" and even experiment with one-person group collaboration models, assisted by AI agents in completing product and engineering tasks.
Armstrong emphasized that the company will reshape its operational methods around AI in the future, making teams smaller and more efficient, and driving automated processes and decision support with AI. For affected employees, Coinbase will provide at least 16 weeks of basic salary, additional seniority compensation, accelerated equity vesting, and continued healthcare coverage, as well as visa support and transitional assistance. This adjustment aims to make Coinbase "leaner, more agile, and AI-native" in the next crypto cycle, and he stated that the company's long-term mission—to promote economic freedom and the construction of a new financial system—has not changed.
