Three sectors are capturing the bulk of hiring momentum in crypto right now—and they account for roughly 60% of all new positions. Infrastructure development tops the list, followed by stablecoin projects gaining serious traction, then payment and fintech startups pushing the boundaries. These three areas are where talent is flowing, where capital is concentrating, and where the real action is happening. If you're looking at where the industry is headed, follow the jobs—they rarely lie.

Follow the jobs—there's nothing wrong with that, but are these three directions really all hot spots? I think the stablecoin sector is still a big pit.

Infrastructure eats the meat, stablecoins drink the soup, and the payment sector is still playing with leftovers... These three areas account for 60% of the positions? Explain, the real money is all here.

ngl infrastructure hiring always cycles back when network security actually matters. seen this play out three times now—devs chase the money, then suddenly everyone needs better consensus layers lol

It seems that infrastructure and stablecoins are the real prospects for money.

follow the jobs, this logic makes sense; infrastructure is indeed a fundamental necessity. However, when it comes to stablecoins, it still feels like rehashing old ideas...
