US crypto industry sees a surge in September hiring openings, while applications fall
In September this year, the number of crypto industry job postings rose to 1,241, more than doubling from July. However, applications dropped to roughly 20,000, suggesting that hiring demand is recovering while job-seeker competition is diverging.
According to CryptoJobsList, a crypto hiring platform, there were 1,241 job postings in September, 886 in August, and 382 in July. September’s total is more than twice that of January (573), and January had been the most active month earlier this year, even before August. The number of hiring companies also grew from 107 in July to 125 in September, after falling to 77 in August. Applications followed the opposite trend: 25,700 in July, 24,631 in August, and slightly below 20,000 in September. The platform says this divergence indicates competition for specialized talent is tightening, but its data alone cannot confirm why applications moved inversely to job posting volume.
By job category, financial demand was the highest over the past three months, followed by engineering and trading. Stablecoins, artificial intelligence, security, and compliance also entered the top ten. In terms of blockchain skills, Bitcoin is the most commonly requested skill, followed by Ethereum and Solana—consistent with the three networks’ roles as the largest in the crypto industry.
Compared with 2025, this year’s hiring rebound is more pronounced. In 2025, crypto hiring stayed lackluster throughout the year; the most active October had only 373 roles. The figures for July, August, and September were essentially flat year over year. This year, job postings in August already doubled compared with July, indicating that growth is not entirely due to a seasonal uptick after summer ends. CryptoJobsList data shows that as the crypto jobs market entered the fourth quarter, the number of vacancies was higher than at any point earlier this year—though that does not necessarily mean more applicants are chasing these positions for now.
