Crypto firm Wyre's CEO Ioannis Giannaros, however, told the press that the company is “still operating” and is simply “scaling back.”

Looks like Wyre just shut down their business. Everyone in our shared Slack channel disabled except the GC. Hearing no severance.

“We’ll continue to do everything we can, but I want everyone to brace themselves for the fact that we will need to unwind the business over the next couple of weeks,” CEO Ioannis Giannaros wrote to staff in an email seen by Axios. The news publication’s reporters Brady Dale and Lucinda Shen further detailed that a former Wyre employee named Michael Staib wrote about the situation on Linkedin.

Wyre was considered a profitable company and it raised $29.1 million via nine different funding rounds. The company was founded in 2013 by Giannaros and Michael Dunworth and at its peak, Wyre had a $1.5 billion valuation.
