What it means

Hiring teams in crypto are the main ones to notice this shift tomorrow morning, along with job seekers watching the market. More roles were posted in September, but the number of applications moved lower at the same time, so the market looked busier on the employer side and thinner on the applicant side.

In practice, the hiring menu remains centered on finance, engineering and trading, with Bitcoin, Ethereum and Solana still showing up most often in skill requests. What changed is the volume of openings, not the kinds of roles or skills named in the listing data. (per cryptobriefing.com)
