The Crypto Compensation Report 2024/2025 from the Dragonfly fund shows that salaries in the cryptocurrency industry have fallen widely, despite Bitcoin reaching a record high this year. Both cash salaries and token rewards have decreased compared to last year, reflecting a trend of tightening costs and adjustments after a period of rapid growth.
A survey of more than 3,000 positions at 85 companies shows that the recruitment process is prolonged, with an offer acceptance rate of about 68%. Lower-level positions are the most affected, while leadership salaries have increased slightly, creating a “whipsaw effect.”
Europe continues to lead thanks to a stable legal environment, while Asia has seen a strong increase in hiring demand, accounting for over 40% of surveyed companies. Nevertheless, more than half of cryptocurrency businesses still operate entirely remotely, reflecting the global trend of flexible working.
