‘OpenSea 2.0’ starts with mass layoffs as the NFT balloon deflates.

CEO Devin Finzer says OpenSea is “shifting to a smaller team with a direct connection to users.” Decrypt reports about 50 percent of employees are impacted. When it laid off 20 percent of its employees last year, around 230 people remained.

This chart shows OpenSea activity peaked with over 50,000 active wallets (around the time it was valued at $13 billion) and $140 million in daily volume, which has dropped to fewer than 8,000 active wallets and $2.3 million in volume.

A line graph from the site DappRadar showing how the active wallets, volume, and transactions on OpenSea peaked at the end of 2021 and have shrunk to almost nothing now in comparison.
