The Rise of Crypto Hiring in 2021
In the crypto industry, last year was a tremendous year for recruiting. Only 27 crypto companies employed 8,700 individuals, increasing their number on average. Many more businesses sprung up, notably in non-ferrous metals and blockchain gaming sectors.
Last month was no exception. Several high-profile recruits from conventional banking and technology, including Crypto.com, AWS, WhatsApp, Curve, and the US Attorneys’ Office. Crypto exchanges remained the most active, while venture capital companies also had some engagement.
According to a recent LinkedIn report, crypto-related job postings with titles containing terms like “bitcoin,” “ethereum,” “blockchain,” and “cryptocurrency” increased 395 percent in the US from 2020 to 2021, outpacing the broader tech industry, which saw a 98 percent increase in listings during the same period.
While most of the job ads were in the software and financial areas, demand for crypto expertise is also increasing in other industries. Professional services such as accountancy and consulting and the staffing and computer hardware industries are among them.
According to LinkedIn news, blockchain developers and engineers were among the most popular job titles on LinkedIn. The locations with the most crypto job posts in 2021 were the San Francisco Bay Area, Austin, Texas, New York City, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, and Denver.
According to data from Pitchbook, employment demand increased last year as investors poured $30 billion into crypto and blockchain firms in 2021. Not to mention high-profile tech advocates such as Elon Musk and Jack Dorsey and celebrities like Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Bollywood’s Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Ranveer Singh, who have all endorsed cryptocurrency.
