AngelList revealed that the number of crypto-currency jobs posted on its site had doubled over the last three months.
According to the information provided in AngelList's latest weekly newsletter - entitled " Bitcoin is (not) dead " - the number of new jobs related to crypto-currencies referenced on the platform has increased from 500 to 1000 between December 2017 and March 2018 .
This rise came despite the fall in the price of digital assets below $ 7,000 at the beginning of February. AngelList indicates, with a touch of irony, that this increase is explained by the fact that " startups do not monitor [the markets] ".
The company predicted last year, through an article titled " How to Get a Job in Crypto ", a surge of these job offers.
In its newsletter, it also states that, " rather than raising funds from venture capitalists, crypto-companies sell tokens related to their networks to finance their development ." It highlights the popularity of these sales, which raised the equivalent of nearly $ 3 billion in March .
CoinList , a subsidiary of AngelList specializing in tokens-backed financial services, raised $ 9.2 million in its first round of fundraising in early April.
In its newsletter, AngelList mentioned several entities that have submitted a job offer on its platform:
in the decentralized finance sector: 0x , Stellar and dYdX
in the development of security equipment: Ledger , Trezor and Yubico
in the decentralized internet: Blockstack , The Ethereum Name Service , Brave and Dfinity
in the area of confidentiality: Zcash and Monero
