An analysis of the cryptocurrency jobs sector made by the work-based social network Linkedin found that cryptocurrency job postings soared in 2021 even when compared to other hot areas like tech.
in 2021 even when compared to other growing fields. The company stated that job postings including the words “ethereum,” bitcoin,” and “cryptocurrency” grew almost 400% in 2021 when compared to the year before. The field outgrew even tech, which only managed to grow 98% in its job listings during the same period.
The analysis concluded this demand had to do with the influx of funding that flooded the crypto environment last year: $30 billion were poured into the crypto ecosystem last year, and this gave rise to many companies needing people to develop crypto-related projects. The public exposure of crypto and the new bull market that took off last year also had to do with this growth.
Crypto companies are also poaching executives and workers from other companies in finance and tech, as the field becomes increasingly sought after. This phenomenon is happening not only in the U.S., but also in other countries where crypto has gained popularity, such as Korea.
