Recent News About Vibra
As of July 2023, Vibra ceased its operations in all its active markets. The shutdown was primarily driven by financial difficulties and declining user engagement. The company faced a challenging market environment, compounded by the broader downturn in the cryptocurrency sector and the collapse of significant players like FTX.
Despite securing $6 million in venture capital funding from investors like Lateral Frontiers and Dragonfly Capital in 2021, Vibra struggled to achieve sustainable growth and profitability. The company’s efforts to drive user adoption through education and incentives proved costly and insufficient to maintain its operations.
As part of its shutdown process, employees were given the option to resign or be fired. The company’s services were officially discontinued by mid-July 2023. The company stopped its services by mid-July 2023. This is part of a bigger pattern of web3 startups in the area merging and cutting back, showing how unpredictable the cryptocurrency market is.
