Crypto job postings triple to over 1,200 in September, but applications fall

In this news:

Key takeaways

  • Crypto job postings tripled to over 1,200 in September.
  • Job applications fell to just under 20,000 in September.
  • Finance, engineering, and trading led demand categories.

The CryptoJobsList data for 2025 also shows no comparable August-September surge as would be expected if the end of summer was such a prominent factor. That said, 2025 was a subdued year for crypto hirings from start to finish. The most active month was October, with a mere 373 listings. The figures were flat throughout July, August and September.

While listings may have surged in September this year, applications have not. CryptoJobsList recorded 25,700 applications in July, 24,631 in August and just under 20,000 in September.

The platform interprets this divergence as evidence that competition for specialist workers is tightening, though its data alone doesn’t establish why application numbers have gone the opposite way to listings.

The comparison of listings nevertheless provides some indication of where demand lies. Finance was the largest job category over the past three months, followed by engineering and trading, with stablecoins, AI, security and compliance all also in the top 10. Bitcoin was the most frequently sought blockchain familiarity, followed by Ethereum and Solana, as would be expected being the three largest networks in the crypto industry.

CryptoJobsList’s data suggests the crypto job market enters the fourth quarter with a lot more openings than any time previously this year, but not necessarily more applicants chasing them for the time being.
