It is unclear whether Babel has cut jobs or if many of its employees are not on LinkedIn.Babel Finance has had an intriguing past. In October 2020,that the firm leveraged some user funds to boost a bitcoin trade and faced potential default risks during that year's Black Thursday market crash.
At the time, Tether reportedly saved Babel Finance. The stablecoin issuer was said to have extended margin call deadlines for Babel to a month so that the firm would have more time to bolster its collateral.Dan Tapiero's 10T Holdings , Dragonfly Capital and Circle Ventures — will need another rescue this time. Tether stopped working with Babel around two months ago, Tether CTO Paolo Ardoino told The Block recently.
