According to BlockBeats, the rising popularity of stablecoins has significantly benefited crypto wallet technology provider Dfns, although the advantages may be somewhat excessive. Clarisse Hagège, co-founder of Dfns, raised $16 million for her startup in January and is currently expanding to meet the demands of clients in the stablecoin sector.
However, the increasing demand for stablecoins has sparked a fierce talent competition, making it challenging and costly for the company, which has only 42 employees, to fill 17 vacant positions. Hagège noted that companies are spending substantial amounts to attract talent. Owen Dearn, founder of fintech recruitment firm Find, described the situation as a large-scale talent 'gold rush' in the sector. He estimated that approximately 80% of the positions his company has filled in recent months are related to stablecoins.
Dearn revealed that in the United States, the annual salary for stablecoin strategy leaders at major traditional financial institutions typically ranges from $250,000 to $400,000. In the United Kingdom, the salary for similar positions is expected to be between £150,000 and £220,000 (approximately $203,000 to $298,000). In the U.S., senior compliance roles in the stablecoin field can command salaries as high as $350,000.
