Congratulations to Marcus on his new role as Global Head of Liquidity & Account Management at a leading Digital Asset Platform in San Francisco! 🎉

Marcus was running liquidity relationships at a prime brokerage in London. Solid career. Great network. But he knew the most exciting problems in institutional finance had moved somewhere else.
They'd moved to crypto. And crypto had moved to SF.

Here's what Marcus brought:
— 5+ years managing Tier-1 institutional relationships
— Deep expertise in market microstructure and order book dynamics
— A network across OTC desks and algorithmic trading firms built over a decade
— C-suite level negotiation across multiple jurisdictions

Why San Francisco?
— The heartbeat of institutional crypto in the US
— Home to the most well-capitalised digital asset firms in the world
— Where TradFi experience meets Web3 ambition at the highest level

Jaya Talent reached out. One conversation changed everything.
That's how it works sometimes.

You can’t find great talent just on LinkedIn & GitHub, I am sorry.

+ talent do not know how to sell themselves well on social media. Go and do headhunting to hackathons.

Almost year ago we have sponsored 100xEngineers Generative AI Buildathon 2.0 - India’s leading innovation event that unites AI professionals, developers, and entrepreneurs to create the next wave of AI solutions.

This buildathon brought together hundreds of participants to develop projects in areas like large language models (LLMs), AI filmmaking, and autonomous AI agents.

Teams and solo participants pitched their projects to a panel of venture capitalists and AI founders, competing for cash prizes, expert feedback, and exposure to a global AI community of over 800,000 members.

Crypto regulation in 2026. Where every major country actually stands:

🇦🇪 UAE — VARA framework live. Dedicated crypto regulator. Fastest licensing globally.
🇨🇭 Switzerland — FINMA. Clear since 2018. Crypto Valley in Zug. 1,000+ blockchain companies.
🇸🇬 Singapore — MAS Payment Services Act. Strict, clear, institutional grade.
🇭🇰 Hong Kong — SFC licensing live. A-S-P-I-Re framework. Asia’s regulated crypto gateway.
🇺🇸 USA — GENIUS Act signed July 2025. First federal stablecoin framework. Finally clarity.
🇬🇧 UK — FCA full regime: October 2027. Promotion rules live now.
🇪🇺 EU — MiCA live but complex. USDT delisted across exchanges.
🇮🇳 India — Legal but 30% tax + 1% TDS. Highest friction in Asia.
🇨🇳 China — Full ban. Still 14% of global Bitcoin mining.

No editorialising. Just the map.

From our CEO 💎

"What a day! Celebrating another client who has been working with us for 2 years - and extending our guarantee from 1–3 months to 6 months for all new hires, without increasing fees!

What makes me happy as a founder 🙌 Playing long-term games with long-term people.

For context — industry standard sits at 1–3 months. 1–2 months for mid-level roles, 2–3 months for senior ones, with one free replacement if either side isn't happy. That's what most agencies offer.

But our long-term clients have trusted us for 2+ years — and the people we placed are still there. That says everything about the quality of our work and the retention behind it."

Honestly, if you're looking for a job in Web3 right now - the market is better than people think. You just need to know where to look.

I've been deep in this space for a while and here's what I'm actually seeing on the ground 👇


🏦 RWA Tokenization — go here first

This sector went from $5.5B to $29.2B in just 15 months. BlackRock, Ondo, Securitize are all growing fast and they genuinely cannot find enough people. If you come from finance, legal, or compliance — they want you. Even if you're not fully crypto-native yet.


📊 Perp DEXs — one of the most exciting spaces to work in right now

Hyperliquid is doing $21.8B in 24hr volume. Coinbase just acquired Deribit for $2.9B. Prediction markets are exploding. The whole perp and derivatives space is attracting serious capital and serious hiring — engineers, product, trading ops, and BD. Fast-moving, well-funded, and genuinely fun to work in.


💵 Stablecoins — more stable than you'd think

Circle, Ripple, Paxos now have actual bank charters. These aren't scrappy startups anymore — they're regulated financial institutions building proper teams. BD, compliance, product, treasury. Real roles, real salaries, real stability.


🤖 AI + Crypto — if you have any AI background, listen up

Hiring in this space is up 60% and salaries are sitting at $140K–$250K. The overlap between ML and blockchain is so small that if you're in it — companies will come to you. Seriously worth investing time here if you're an engineer.


📊 Big Exchanges — underrated option

Coinbase, Kraken, Binance, Bybit are all hiring across the board. Kraken added 750+ roles in a single month last year. These companies offer real career paths, good comp, and they're not going anywhere.


🔐 Engineering? Learn Rust or ZK

Fewer than 500 engineers globally are qualified in ZK proofs. That's it. Rust commands 65% above base salary. Smart contract auditing pays $140K–$260K. Six months of focused learning in any of these = a very different job search experience.


💰 TradFi x Crypto — the sweet spot nobody talks about

BlackRock, JPMorgan, Fidelity are paying 30% above market for people who understand both worlds. If that's you — please know your worth and go get it.


❌ And where to avoid right now

NFTs, GameFi, SocialFi — the hiring just isn't there. Even Animoca, the biggest name in Web3 gaming, has moved on to payment rails. That tells you everything.

The opportunities in Web3 in 2026 are real. You just have to be in the right place.

Hope this helps someone 🤝

Nisha is a former Executive Assistant to the WazirX CEO, former Executive Assistant to C-level at Polygon Labs, and ex-Google.


I connected with Zhanna for a career consultation and was expecting just a chat with some tips. Instead, she went above and beyond — referring me to companies from her network right away 💕

Within the same week, I already had a few interviews, and now I’ve completed my first 2 weeks at a new job in big web3 project 🥹

This wasn’t even part of the package, but it shows the long-term relationships Jaya builds and how much they truly value every candidate they stay in touch with 🌸

🇦🇪 Dubai: $150–$260k → $150–$260k net
🇺🇸 USA: $160–$280k → ~$96–$168k net
🇨🇭 Switzerland: $150–$240k → ~$113–$180k net
🇸🇬 Singapore: $110–$180k → ~$88–$144k net
🇬🇧 UK: $130–$210k → ~$78–$126k net
🇩🇪 Germany: $120–$195k → ~$70–$113k net

Demand up 60% since late 2024.

Supply nowhere near catching up.

If you sit at this crossover - you’re not looking for a job.

Companies are looking for you.

Thanks Viivek for such a warm feedback 🫶

btw, Viivek is celebrating 1 year with Yellow Capital 🫂

“Hey everyone,

I'm Viivek Mehata, currently acting as a Portfolio Manager at Yellow Capital. I joined the Yellow Capital team around a year ago and I couldn't be more grateful for the team I get to work daily with.

It's a global team with offices in Thailand and Andorra while each of the team member comes from a leading company in their respective fields like KPMG, PWC, GSR, Standard Chartered, etc.

Before this I've been juggling multiple jobs with odd roles and unstructured companies but couldn't land a stable one where I'd build a promising career, but Yellow Capital feels exactly that and all thanks to Zhanna and the Jaya Talent team. They were truly transparent and helpful throughout the process and helped me excel in each interview round.

I'd highly recommend Jaya Talent for anyone looking for a job in Web3 and also for companies sourcing the right talent for their team.”
