Bitcoin’s stellar performance, reaching all-time highs and igniting a 54% rally year to date, has led to a significant uptick in job opportunities in the crypto market.
Companies entrenched in digital assets, like Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, and Gemini, are aggressively expanding their workforce. Even traditional financial powerhouses, like Fidelity, are on the lookout for fresh talent, indicating a broader industry revival.
Crypto Jobs on the Rise
Specialized job boards are experiencing a remarkable surge in demand, with postings skyrocketing. BeInCrypto’s Crypto Jobs in Web3, for instance, reported an uptick in job listings between January and March, boasting more than 8,400 postings. Companies like Chainlink Labs, Ledger, and Animoca Brands are looking to fill different crypto positions, from Marketers to Engineers and Content Writers.

“We do plan some modest investment in headcount in 2024,” Haas said.
Fidelity and BlackRock are also ramping up their crypto-related hiring efforts. The former is looking for an Investment Risk Vice President while the latter is searching for a Global Markets Lawyer.
