A spokeswoman confirmed the cuts and provided the following statement:
Yesterday, CoinDesk, Inc had to make the difficult decision during the ongoing crypto winter to pare back on some non-core projects and consolidate some functions. No full-time reporters or editors from the editorial team were affected, but as a result, a restructuring took place, resulting in 14 full-time and additional contractor functions being removed. CoinDesk Indices was not impacted. We thank them for their vital contributions to building CoinDesk into the leading media, events, and indices company in crypto / Web3.
CoinDesk has been exploring a sale and hired an investment bank earlier this year to explore options.
In February, the George Polk Award for financial reporting was awarded to Ian Allison and Tracy Wang of CoinDesk for stories that brought Sam Bankman-Fried and his supposed $32 billion crypto currency empire crashing down in just 10 days.
