Battle for blockchain talent is heating up. What and where are the crypto jobs?
Flush with capital, blockchain and crypto firms are on a hiring spree. Here’s how the battle for crypto talent is playing out.
Massive amounts of capital have been pouring into blockchain and cryptocurrency companies from venture capital and direct investment in recent months, and the momentum has continued unabated, despite the recent crypto market correction.
In Asia, Hong Kong-based crypto derivatives exchange FTX this month made history with a US$900 million series B fundraise the largest for a crypto exchange to date which gave it an US$18 billion valuation. And other Asian unicorns have been born. Blockchain gaming company Animoca Brands this month closed a US$138.88 million capital raise. Fellow unicorn crypto financial services company Amber Group completed a US$100 million series-B fundraise in June, boosting its valuation to US$1 billion 10 times its series-A funding round in 2019.
