According to a Wednesday report from LinkedIn editor Devin Banerjee, data from the platformâs Economic Graph team shows job postings in the United States that included terms like âblockchainâ or âcryptoâ grew 615% compared to those in August 2020. The data shows that while many jobs with companies already focused on crypto and blockchain contributed to this rise, traditional financial institution J.P. Morgan was among the top employers for roles in the digital asset space.
The LinkedIn team added that financial services firms were expected to hire more than three times as many staff with experience in digital assets than in 2015. J.P. Morganâs job postings as of July included positions focusing on its global blockchain development efforts â blockchain-focused software developers, engineers, marketers and auditors. The company posted more than 30 openings for its operations in the U.S. in a single week.
