Digital asset manager Osprey Funds has laid off 15 employees and is now operating with fewer than 10 employees, including four members of its leadership team. On April 12 last year, Osprey listed 22 employees on its website. By August 15, that number had dropped to 19; by November 28, it had dropped to just four executives. Sources said Osprey had previously tried to launch a hedge fund, but the company said its latest layoffs were due to a failed hedge fund launch.
