Postings related to “bitcoin,” “blockchain,” “Ethereum,” and other terms surged 395% between 2020 and 2021, according to LinkedIn. By comparison, the broader tech sphere “saw a 98% increase in listings during the same time period.”
“While most of the job postings were in software and finance, other industries are also seeing a rise in demand for crypto talent. These include professional services like accounting and consulting, as well as the staffing and computer hardware sectors,” LinkedIn News noted in a post.
The Block has extensively covered the hiring boom taking place across the digital asset ecosystem. Fueling the activity is a shift in talent from traditional talent spheres to crypto.
A survey of 27 crypto firms revealed a headcount increase of more than 8,400 people in the last year, with an average of over 300 people for each surveyed company. Predictably, exchanges and investment-oriented companies led the pack.
