Singapore leads global crypto job opportunities per capita
Singapore leads the world in cryptocurrency job opportunities per capita, according to LegalBison’s study.
The research, which analysed Glassdoor listings, found Singapore offers 68.68 crypto roles per million citizens.
This positions the city-state as a leader in crypto innovation, driven by its strong regulatory environment and more than 700 Web3 companies.
Luxembourg ranks second with 37.82 crypto positions per million residents.
The European finance hub attracts digital currency such as Bitstamp, BitFlyer, and BitPanda, due to its friendly business climate.
Luxembourg’s economy and status as the second-largest investment fund centre support a thriving crypto job market.
Hong Kong, despite regulatory challenges, holds the third position with 28.45 jobs per million people.
Its strategic location continues to attract crypto companies aiming for a foothold in Asia, the study said.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) follows in fourth place, offering 14.74 crypto jobs per million inhabitants, driven by Dubai’s ambition to become a crypto hub.
Switzerland, home to Zug’s “Crypto Valley,” ranks fifth with 9.5 positions per million. Ireland, in sixth place, provides 9.29 crypto jobs per million citizens, benefiting from large technology firms operating blockchain projects.
Bahrain, at seventh, offers 8.38 jobs per million, aiming to be a fintech leader with crypto-friendly policies.
The Netherlands, Portugal, and Greece complete the top ten, with 6.44, 6.33, and 5.89 jobs per million, respectively.
Commenting on the findings, LegalBison co-founder Aaron Glauberman said: “The statistics show a clear link between regulations and cryptocurrency job creation. Countries that have established clear frameworks for crypto businesses typically show higher numbers of employment opportunities.
“The high job density in places like Singapore, Luxembourg, and Hong Kong reflects both government support and existing financial infrastructure. As the industry matures, we are seeing growing demand for expertise in navigating complex regulatory frameworks across different countries.”
