Blockchain, often perceived as a specialized technology, could become a key player in the redefinency of global labor markets by 2030. The recent report emphasizes the unused potential of this technology capable of creating more than 1.5 million jobs in the coming years, comparable or even greater in AI (artistic intelligence).
In short
- Blockchain could create more than 1.5 million jobs by 2030 and compete with AI.
- Clear regulation, such as mica, is necessary to accelerate the acceptance and creation of jobs in the blockchain.
- Blockchain funding must increase, with a difference of $ 75 billion compared to AI.
- Wages in blockchain, especially for specialized roles, could exceed AI wages.
- Blockchain’s talent demand is concentrated in North America (40%) and Asia-Pacifik (35%).
Explosive growth of employment blockchain
Currently, blockchain employs around 15,000 to 20,000 people around the world, a number of much less than 1 million AI -related jobs. According to forecasts, however, if blockchain follows the rhythm of artificial intelligence, it could create more than 1.5 million new positions by 2030, making it the main pillar of the digital economy. This growth would be supported by the acceptance of blockchain in key industries such as finance, health and logistics.
One of the key engines of this growth is to regulate the sector, especially with initiatives such as EU Mica regulations on crypts. This regulation would provide a solid framework to stimulate the trust of companies and investors. At the same time, the adoption of giants as JPMorgan and Visa, who integrate blockchain into their projects, shows the way for other companies that want to use this technology. If this acceptance is generalized, it could significantly speed up the creation of jobs.
The urgent need of financing
According to the report, AI competes in terms of market size and job creation, blockchain needs more parity financing. In 2023, AI startups attracted more than $ 100 billion in risk capital, as opposed to only $ 25 billion per blockchain. Increased financial support would accelerate the innovation and acceptance of blockchain and at the same time support the creation of new specialized jobs.
Especially because of blockchain jobs, especially specialized roles such as intelligent contracts, could offer wages better than AI experts. Currently, wages in blockchain differ between $ 115,000 and $ 191,000 per year. If adoption is accelerated, these numbers could exceed $ 250,000 and compete with the best AI engineers.
Leader Regions: North America and Asia-Pacifik
The demand for Blockchain’s talent is concentrated mainly in North America (40% of jobs) and Asia-Pacifik (35%), while these regions are the main innovation centers and benefit from policies favorable to cryptocurrencies. Especially countries like Singapore and Vietnam, with their Pro-Blockchain initiatives, should continue to play a key role in recruitment.
Blockchain is therefore at the key moment of its development. With clear regulation, increased investment and wider adoption, AI could soon compete in creating world jobs and even live its “Chatgpt Moment” in 2025.
