Indian Crypto Giant CoinDCX Adjusts Workforce With 12% Reduction Amid Market Challenge CoinDCX, a prominent cryptocurrency exchange in India, has revealed plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 12% due to the lingering effects of a prolonged bear market and India’s stringent tax regulations, according to CoinDesk. The exchange is set to lay off 71 employees whose roles are no longer aligned with the current strategic direction of the company. This decision impacts various teams within the organization, highlighting the extent of the restructuring effort.

Despite this, India has yet to introduce any legislative framework for Web3 or cryptocurrency, even as it advocates for international crypto regulations as the G20 president
