Then, the deal which worth about $1.5 billion could have been the biggest involving a cryptocurrency organization.
Early this month, reports surfaced that the firm reduced its workforce by 75 personnel. Reports indicated that the CEO of Wyre, Loannis Giannaros, sent a mail to employees stating that the company no longer need their services starting from the end of January 2023.
