The roles that change careers — the ones at hedge funds, layer-3 protocols, top consulting firms — get filled through networks and relationships long before they ever appear on a job board.

If you're only applying online, you're competing for the 20% that's left.

We've placed people directly into roles at leading digital asset institutions, DeFi protocols, and global hedge funds — roles that weren't posted anywhere.

Jaya Talent Signal: Conditional
USDT is the backbone of global crypto liquidity — no other stablecoin comes close by volume or real-world usage. Cash generation is enormous. If you want to work on infrastructure the entire industry depends on, the technical impact is undeniable. Builders who thrive in lean, high-ownership environments can do exceptional work here.

Best fit: Senior engineers and product leads comfortable with ambiguity, who want outsized ownership and don't need corporate polish.

Jaya Talent Signal note: Tether has a long record of regulatory scrutiny and reserve transparency questions — including a 2021 CFTC settlement. This is not a conventional employer bet. Research carefully before accepting any offer.

Private · New York, NY · $22B valuation · $1B+ raised (May 2026)

Jaya Talent Signal: Recommend
The hottest company in fintech right now, and not casually — Kalshi tripled its valuation three times in seven months, closed a $1B round at a $22B valuation in May 2026, and has $178B in annualized trading volume. As the first CFTC-regulated prediction market exchange in the US, it has a genuine regulatory moat that competitors can't replicate quickly. The growth is real: 2M monthly users, $1.5B annualized revenue, 800% growth in institutional volume.

Best fit: Engineers, product, compliance, growth, and market structure professionals. One of the few places where you're building an entirely new asset class from scratch under federal regulation.

Jaya Talent Signal note: The legal picture is genuinely complex — 19+ federal lawsuits, state AGs in Massachusetts, Washington, Wisconsin, and Arizona challenging the sports betting legality, and insider trading controversies. Sports markets are 90%+ of revenue. Regulatory outcomes could materially reshape the business. High upside, real existential risk — go in clear-eyed.

JM JM Bangalore 🌸

Two years ago, we started something special with Zo House - our very first Sufi Night, right here in Bangalore.

Then came Dubai✨

And now? We’re coming home for our 3rd Sufi Night - back where it all began.

We create wellness and jamming events like this to bring web3 folks together in a chill, soulful space - away from the noise.

Heart this if you want in 💛🎶

Thank you, Andrii 🙏 When someone takes the time to share feedback like this - it genuinely means a lot.

Andrii joined a Perp DEX team 6 months ago as a Rust Developer. From a large company with slow processes to building at the core of one of the fastest-moving verticals in DeFi. No bureaucracy. Direct founder access. Real ownership.

That shift is exactly what the best Web3 roles offer - and it's what we look for when matching talent.

Why Perp DEX is worth paying attention to right now:
Combined Perp DEX trading volume surpassed $1.3 trillion in October 2025 — a new all-time high.

The sector's market cap grew 654% in a single year, from ~$2.5B to nearly $18.9B — outpacing every other DeFi vertical.

The names building this space have raised serious capital — or none at all:
dYdX — $85M raised from a16z, Polychain, Hashkey
Lighter — $68M at a $1.5B valuation, backed by Founders Fund, Haun Ventures, Ribbit Capital
GMX — $300B+ in all-time trading volume, $450M+ TVL
Hyperliquid — $0 in external funding. Built entirely without VCs. 1.4M users, $6B TVL, daily volume peaking near $32B — all distributed back to the community.

Hyperliquid is arguably the most important proof point in this space: you don't need institutional backing to dominate a $17B sector.

The infrastructure is being built right now — by engineers like Andrii.

Thank you, Wei 🙏
One year in at a Tier 1 exchange in Singapore. Still happy. Still growing.
That's the quiet power of a BD role at the right company - in the right city.

BD in crypto right now — what the data actually says:
• Sales and BD is one of the top 5 hiring categories across Tier 1 exchanges — with teams seeking professionals to drive institutional partnerships and expand into new geographic markets.
• "Institutional BD is becoming critical in crypto, especially with policy shifts — teams need people who can speak to major institutions and bring in real TVL."
• Over 2,800 new Web3 positions are being added every 2 months. The best candidates are off the market in 10 to 14 days.

Why Singapore specifically:
• Singapore leads the world in crypto jobs per capita — 68 roles per million residents — and hosts over 700 Web3 companies.
• MAS has granted 36 Major Payment Institution licenses, with Coinbase, OKX, Circle, Upbit and HashKey all operating from the city.
• Singapore is now the second-largest stablecoin hub globally, with BlackRock and Circle both establishing major operations here. Glavx
• The June 2025 licensing deadline cleared out the grey-area players. What's left is a regulated, institutional-grade market — exactly where BD careers are built for the long term.

Wei made that call a year ago. The numbers back her up.

If you're in partnerships, BD, or institutional sales and thinking about your next move in APAC - let's talk.

Retention is the answer.

Anyone can place a candidate. Fewer can keep them happy a year later.

When we start working with a new client, we offer a 180-day guarantee - the industry standard is 30 to 90 days. We don't think that's enough. We're confident in our matches, so we stand behind them longer.

Ester joined one of our clients almost a year ago as a Business Analyst.

She's still there. Still happy.

Her first feedback was:
https://t.me/jayatalent/965
"Jaya Talent were the only ones who actually landed me a role that fits me the best way.

No suggestion went missing, no doubt went unanswered; the calls slowly stopped feeling like recruiting and started feeling like intelligent, friendly networking."

We check in every few months - not to sell anything, just to ask how they're doing and how we can help.

High standards for talent and clients. Ethics first. Reputation over revenue.

That's why people stay 💜 Thanks for trusting your career to Jaya Talent 💜

Jaya Talent Signal: Web3 Job Market - May 2026

Overall: Maturing fast. Hype roles dying. Real product companies hiring selectively.

Hiring
1) ~18,000 active blockchain listings on LinkedIn globally
2) 94 new jobs in May on CryptoJobsList
3) Hot roles: Solidity/smart contract devs, security, compliance, protocol economists
4) Non-technical roles (marketing, community) being automated out first

AI shift
1) AI required in 53% of job postings (up from 23% last year)
2) 69% of Web3 pros moving from execution → managing AI agents
3) AI-proficient mid-level roles avg $115k vs $95k without (+21% premium)
4) 43% of all crypto postings are IT/engineering; BD only 10%

Location
1) Dubai now #1 talent hub, ahead of NY & Singapore
2) Top roles increasingly hybrid/in-person, not fully remote

Layoffs 2026
1) 5,000+ cuts across 25+ companies
2) TON Foundation — ~70-90% of staff laid off
3) Coinbase — ~700 cut (14%), AI restructuring
4) Crypto.com — 180 cut (12%), AI pivot
5) Gemini — up to 30%
6) Block — ~4,000 cut
7) Optimism/OP Labs — 20%

Layoffs = efficiency plays, not collapse. Hiring continues in technical/senior roles.

Bottom line: AI fluency + technical depth = job security. Everything else is at risk.

We'll spend 1–2 hours together focusing on meditation, pranayama (breathwork), and simple yoga practices that anyone can follow.

The session is designed to help reduce stress, improve focus, boost creativity, and bring more clarity and balance to your day.

We'll keep it intentionally small due to venue limitations, creating a more relaxed and meaningful experience.

This will be an invite-only gathering for Web3 and crypto founders, builders, and investors.

Jaya Mornings is back — Bangalore edition 🧘‍♂️🧘‍♀️

Sunday, 14 June · 7 PM · Indiranagar

2 hours of breathwork, yoga, Trataka & Yoga Nidra — tools to enjoy your work and quiet your mind.

Limited to 20 people. Approval-based.

Jaya Talent Signal: May-June job market updates

As of mid-June 2026, the crypto/blockchain job market shows a mixed picture: active hiring with many open roles, but significant layoffs (often AI-driven) at major firms, alongside rebounding fundraising that supports growth in specific sectors. cryptojobslist.com.

Layoffs (May–June 2026 Focus)
The industry saw notable cuts in May 2026, part of a broader 2026 wave totaling over 5,300+ disclosed jobs cut across ~26 companies. Many cite AI pivots for efficiency or market conditions. cryptojobslist.com

Key May examples (from CryptoJobsList tracker)
Coinbase: ~500 jobs (~14% of workforce) on/around May 5 — market conditions/AI restructuring. cryptojobslist.com

Kraken: 150 jobs (~5%) on May 16 — AI pivot. cryptojobslist.com

Dune Research: 40 jobs (~25%) on May 14 — AI pivot. cryptojobslist.com

Earlier 2026 cuts (for context) included Crypto.com (~180 jobs, 12%, March, AI), Gemini, and others. Broader trends show restructuring toward leaner, AI-augmented teams. cryptojobslist.com

And yet - JPMorgan, BlackRock, Citi are rolling out $300K digital-asset roles.

Fundraising (May 2026)
Fundraising rebounded strongly in May after a slower April. thetie.io cryptorank.io

~89 companies raised ~$3.08B–$3.52B across ~83–93 rounds (one source notes $3.52B across 83 VC rounds).

Driven by fewer but larger deals, including mega-rounds. Q1 2026 annualized implied ~$4B for the year (below 2025 levels), but May signaled renewed confidence. galaxy.com

Largest: Kalshi ($1.2B Series F, prediction markets, led by Coatue).

Top sectors (by deals/capital): Payments (13 deals, ~$252M), Betting & Prediction Markets (led by capital).


M&A picked up (15 deals), e.g., Bullish’s $4.2B acquisition of Equiniti; Kraken parent Payward’s $600M deal. thetie.io
This capital inflow supports hiring in high-growth areas like prediction markets, infrastructure, AI integration, RWAs, and payments, even amid layoffs elsewhere.

Rest in this post - READ

Seven numbers tell you exactly where the crypto talent market is right now — and none of them say "winter."

56% of VC capital is going to late-stage deals (CryptoRank/AInvest, Mar 2026). Dragonfly just closed a $650M fund pointed at stablecoins, DeFi, and prediction markets (CoinDesk, Feb 2026). The developer base is seniorizing: 2yr+ builders are up 27% and now write 70% of all code (Electric Capital).

And the talent map moved — 1 in 3 developers now sit in Asia, with the US down to 19% from 38% in 2015.

Capital concentrated. Talent seniorized. Pay went barbell. The takeaway for anyone hiring: generic applications are invisible now.

The market only rewards crypto-native, proven builders — everyone else is competing for the ~10% of roles that are still entry-level.
