Blockchain technologies emerged onto the scene more than a decade ago. As a revolutionary moment in the world of business, finance, and so much more, the arrival of cryptocurrency and blockchain technologies heralded a revolution. Now, large institutions to bankers to executives across different fields have made the switch to this fast-paced, yet niche market.

Well, that’s what critics used to censure the industry. Even though, crypto fell into this bubble game- institutional giants/individuals want to play as well.

Recent history, in fact, has seen professionals leave lucrative employment opportunities to join this $2T valued industry. According to a LinkedIn report, jobs postings with titles containing terms like “Bitcoin,” “Ethereum,” “Blockchain” and “cryptocurrency” grew by 395 per cent in the U.S from 2020 to 2021.

This marked a 98% increase in listings over the same time period, surpassing the wider tech industry.

In the seven days ending 16 July 2021, the share of crypto-related searches catapulted by 300% from the comparable period ending 1 September 2020. It’s a similar story for blockchain-related searches, which shot up by 137% over the same timeframe.
