"Talent War" in the Crypto Industry
The high demand for digital asset traders has spurred intense competition among companies. Hedge funds, market makers, and high-frequency trading firms are now racing to recruit the best talent in crypto. Several major companies such as Blockchain.com, Galaxy Digital, Keyrock, Anchorage Digital, and Crypto.com are offering positions with base salaries of up to $220,000—although still below compensation in the traditional finance sector.
Why is this important?
It shows the increasing seriousness of financial institutions entering the crypto realm, strengthens professionalization, and indicates that career opportunities in this sector are becoming more attractive and developing.
