According to data from CryptoJobsList, cryptocurrency companies listed 1,241 positions in September, more than triple the 382 in July. However, applications fell from 25,700 in July to just under 20,000 in September. The platform interprets this divergence as evidence of tightening competition for specialist workers. Finance, engineering, and trading led hiring demand, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana being the most frequently requested blockchain skills.
