**March 19: Crypto.com CEO Flags AI Integration as Make-or-Break; 12% Targeted Layoffs Announced** Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek said on March 19 that the company is joining firms integrating AI across its entire operations. “Companies that don’t complete this shift immediately will fail—those that move slowly will be left behind,” Marszalek stated. “But firms that act fast and pair cutting-edge AI tools with top talent will unlock previously unimaginable scale and efficiency. This is the path we have to take.” As part of the transformation, Crypto.com is conducting targeted layoffs affecting roughly 12% of roles—positions that don’t align with the new AI-focused environment. All impacted employees have been notified and are receiving support resources to aid their transition. “We’re deeply grateful for the contributions of our departing colleagues,” Marszalek added.
