Key highlights

  • The company has been growing aggressively at 100% year-on-year growth rates over the last two years.
  • Since then, the crypto markets have become an integral part of the global economy and are influenced as well by the current market's downturn
  • With circa 20% decrease in global capital, Company management sees reduced transaction volumes and general turnover for the foreseeable future
  • Management believes the downturn is temporary and that growth will resume within the next 6-18 months
  • In order to manage operations in current conditions the Company will implement a number of cost-reduction initiatives measures including:
    • Employee layoffs representing approx 30% of company staff (retaining 160 employees in across the globe)
    • General corporate costs reduction across all SG&A accounts
    • Downsizing the EU operations and its executives including parting with Managing Director Jan Lorenc.
    • Expected cost savings are in excess of $10 million per annum.

In addition, Banxa has implemented with a number of workflow efficiencies and automation introduced over the last 6 months so that these changes are not expected to significantly disrupt execution of the product roadmap or service to the company's valued partners and users.

Banxa is re-focusing on core, higher-margin revenue streams related to its on/off ramp product, with the goal of prioritizing the company's path to profitability. This includes:

  • Acceleration of the product roadmap with a focus on expanding the Sell (offramp) feature to include the support of more coins and chains.
  • Enhancements to the API to allow for faster, more efficient onboarding of new partners.
  • Increasing local payments in key American, European and APAC markets.

  • Achieving even deeper integration with existing partners to ensure they have the opportunity to benefit from the full range of Banxa's technology offerings.

CEO Holger Arians stated: "These are measures of a responsible management. We have experienced rapid growth over the last year and while we strongly believe demand will resume its global rise, we cannot ignore the current markets downturn and must be careful to grow with the long-term in mind so we can deliver sustainable value to both our partners and our shareholders."

Domenic Carosa, Banxa Founder & Chairman, said: "We now have a clear line to profitability. Holger and the entire Banxa management team have the full support of the board of directors as they lead the company through the re-sizing process."
