Coinbase周二宣布将裁员700人，约占其员工总数的14%，这家加密货币交易公司正转向人工智能以降低成本并提升生产力。
在社交媒体上分享给员工的一封信中，Coinbase联合创始人兼首席执行官布莱恩·阿姆斯特朗表示，这家加密货币交易所正处于持续的市场波动中，正在精简业务运营。
“尽管我们此前多次成功度过这种周期性波动，并在之后变得更加强大，但我们目前正处于熊市，现在需要调整成本结构，以便在本轮周期结束后，以更精简、更敏捷、更高效的状态迎接下一阶段的增长，”他写道。
阿姆斯特朗还表示，Coinbase计划将部分工作岗位转向管理人工智能代理团队。他说，Coinbase将尝试“单人团队”模式，整合工程师、设计师和产品经理的职责。
“这是一种全新的工作方式，我们需要在工作的各个层面利用人工智能，”阿姆斯特朗说道。
根据一份监管文件，截至2025年底，Coinbase拥有近5000名员工。该公司预计将在2026年第二季度前完成裁员。Coinbase估计此次重组将产生5000万至6000万美元的成本。
Coinbase是最新一批宣布因人工智能相关原因裁员的企业。今年2月，杰克·多西旗下的金融科技公司Block宣布将裁员近一半，以利用人工智能提升生产力。其他在裁员公告中提及人工智能的公司包括Chegg、CrowdStrike和Pinterest。

Coinbase to lay off 700 workers as cryptocurrency exchange embraces AI

Coinbase announced on Tuesday that it is cutting 700 jobs, or roughly 14% of its workforce, as the cryptocurrency trading company turns to artificial intelligence to reduce costs and boost productivity.
In a letter to employees shared on social media, Coinbase co-founder and CEO Brian Armstrong said the crypto exchange is streamlining its operations amid continued market volatility.
“While we’ve managed through that cyclicality many times before and come out stronger on the other side, we’re currently in a down market and need to adjust our cost structure now so that we emerge from this period leaner, faster and more efficient for our next phase of growth,” he wrote.
Armstrong also said Coinbase plans to shift some jobs to managing fleets of AI agents. Coinbase will experiment with “one-person teams” that combine the duties of engineers, designers and product managers, he said.
“This is a new way of working, and we need to leverage AI across every facet of our jobs,” Armstrong said.
As of the end of 2025, Coinbase had nearly 5,000 employees, according to a regulatory filing. The company expects to complete the layoffs by the second quarter of 2026. Coinbase estimates it will incur $50 million to $60 million in restructuring costs.
Coinbase is the latest in a wave of companies to announce AI-related job cuts. In February, Jack Dorsey said his financial technology company Block would cut its workforce by nearly half as it uses AI to increase productivity. Other companies that have cited AI in their layoff announcements include Chegg, CrowdStrike and Pinterest.
