Singaporean cryptocurrency lender Hodlnaut laid off 40 employees, representing 80% of its staff, in a drastic cost-cutting move amid severe financial and legal troubles. The firm, which froze user withdrawals in early August 2022, cited liquidity stabilization needs and losses from the terraUSD stablecoin collapse in May. Concurrently, it is engaged in police proceedings with Singaporean authorities and is seeking court protection from creditors, highlighting the broader crisis affecting crypto lenders like Celsius and Voyager during the market downturn.
