The cryptocurrency sector in India is poised for a significant hiring boom by early 2025, driven by regulatory clarity, institutional interest, and the entry of global exchanges, according to a report by the Economic Times. The industry is stabilizing following Donald Trump’s 2024 U.S. Presidential election victory and growing domestic support, with hiring expected to peak by March 2025.
Elon Musk’s influence, as a key crypto advocate within Trump’s administration under the newly-formed ‘Department of Government Efficiency’ (DOGE), is also fueling the sector’s momentum.
Edul Patel, CEO of Mudrex, stated that Trump’s win has solidified the legitimacy of the crypto industry, dispelling fears of it being a scam. Meanwhile, Mudita Chauhan, CHRO at CoinDCX, likened the hiring boost to a “ripple effect.”
Cities like Bengaluru, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Pune, home to many Web3, blockchain, and crypto firms, are expected to lead the demand for skilled professionals in technical, legal, and operational roles. Despite the high demand, Prasadh, a crypto sector expert, indicated that the steep salary hikes seen in previous years are tapering off, with average pay for specialists ranging from ₹12-78 lakh annually.
