Crypto companies ramp up US hiring in 2025 amid regulatory clarity

Crypto companies in the U.S. are increasing hiring following new legislation and regulatory clarity that has reversed years of talent leaving the country. Hugh Norton-Smith of Intersection Growth Partners noted a significant re-shoring of crypto talent thanks to regulations on stablecoins enacted by President Trump. Last year, many U.S. firms had plans to relocate, but now 90% of leadership searches are U.S.-based. Marieke Flament commented that hiring activity in the U.S. is robust, contrasting with steady demand for crypto talent in the Middle East and calls for traditional finance experience in Europe. The focus of hiring has shifted from developers to roles in marketing and business development. The average global Web3 salary is about $103,000, highlighting the lucrative nature of the industry. Trump's administration, alongside new SEC chair Paul Atkins, is fostering pro-crypto policies, although digital asset tax regulations remain vague, leading to calls for comprehensive reforms. Despite some pushback from lawmakers regarding perceived conflicts of interest, the overall sentiment is shifting in favor of innovation and growth in the sector.
