Purse was acquired by Loadpipe
In 2023 Purse said Loadpipe was acquiring the company and that the Amazon “shop and earn” marketplace would sunset—disabling new registrations and orders from 3 July 2023, ending escrow support by 10 August, and shifting remaining activity to withdrawals—closing Purse’s consumer marketplace brand.
Successor: Loadpipe
Founded 2014
Purse’s Medium post said Loadpipe would acquire the company while the team sunset the Amazon discount marketplace that had defined Purse since 2014. New orders stopped in July 2023 and support for escrowed purchases ended in August, with later withdrawals requiring KYC. An earlier April 2020 CoinDesk report had already described a prior dissolve attempt, underscoring a long wind-down arc for the Bitcoin shopping startup.
Purse.io let users buy Amazon goods at a discount by matching Bitcoin payments with shoppers redeeming gift-card credit. After an earlier 2020 wind-down scare and a Lightning-era revival, Purse announced in 2023 that Loadpipe was acquiring the company and sunsetting the Amazon marketplace model.
No. Loadpipe acquired Purse in July 3, 2023, and Purse is not listing jobs on its own.

Look at Loadpipe. Purse is not hiring as a standalone company.
