Dune Analytics lays off 25%, focusing on AI data tools and institutional clients

The crypto data platform Dune Analytics announced a major restructuring on Thursday, cutting 25% of its workforce while shifting its strategic focus to two main areas: AI-driven data tools and the on-chain asset adoption by financial institutions. The company stated that it is well-funded and emphasized that it has built a complete end-to-end technology stack for crypto data infrastructure, covering data collection, quality assurance, storage, cleaning, standardization, and querying. Its core product, Dune MCP, allows teams and agents to build dashboards and workflows without the need for SQL knowledge or managing data infrastructure costs.

Dune stated that it currently serves almost all leading crypto companies and is expanding to large financial institution clients to address the trend of traditional assets such as currencies, stocks, bonds, and commodities migrating on-chain. Since its establishment in 2018, Dune has experienced multiple market cycles, and this restructuring reflects a broader trend in the industry towards institutional-grade infrastructure and AI integration tools.
