Jaya Talent Signal: May-June job market updates

As of mid-June 2026, the crypto/blockchain job market shows a mixed picture: active hiring with many open roles, but significant layoffs (often AI-driven) at major firms, alongside rebounding fundraising that supports growth in specific sectors. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc.

Layoffs (May–June 2026 Focus)
The industry saw notable cuts in May 2026, part of a broader 2026 wave totaling over 5,300+ disclosed jobs cut across ~26 companies. Many cite AI pivots for efficiency or market conditions. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc

Key May examples (from CryptoJobsList tracker)
Coinbase: ~500 jobs (~14% of workforce) on/around May 5 — market conditions/AI restructuring. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc

Kraken: 150 jobs (~5%) on May 16 — AI pivot. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc

Dune Research: 40 jobs (~25%) on May 14 — AI pivot. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc

Earlier 2026 cuts (for context) included https://t.co/TVPwhQestX (~180 jobs, 12%, March, AI), Gemini, and others. Broader trends show restructuring toward leaner, AI-augmented teams. https://t.co/VqEMh0U8zc

And yet - JPMorgan, BlackRock, Citi are rolling out $300K digital-asset roles.

Fundraising (May 2026)
Fundraising rebounded strongly in May after a slower April. https://t.co/mEg8q4nqjn https://t.co/lcVOEDPv27

~89 companies raised ~$3.08B–$3.52B across ~83–93 rounds (one source notes $3.52B across 83 VC rounds).

Driven by fewer but larger deals, including mega-rounds. Q1 2026 annualized implied ~$4B for the year (below 2025 levels), but May signaled renewed confidence. https://t.co/7xcARND8XB

Largest: Kalshi ($1.2B Series F, prediction markets, led by Coatue).

Top sectors (by deals/capital): Payments (13 deals, ~$252M), Betting & Prediction Markets (led by capital).

M&A picked up (15 deals), e.g., Bullish’s $4.2B acquisition of Equiniti; Kraken parent Payward’s $600M deal. https://t.co/mEg8q4nqjn
This capital inflow supports hiring in high-growth areas like prediction markets, infrastructure, AI integration, RWAs, and payments, even amid layoffs elsewhere.

It was a pleasure finding you and walking through the process together. Knowing that the match felt right from the start, and that the experience felt smooth and human - that's exactly what we strive for every time. 🙏

🌟 Ashish, thank you for this incredibly kind words!

And we just received this sweet note from @est3r_eth at Yellow, after starting to work with Ashish and his colleague:

"Just wanted to say I’m so grateful to you for those support guys. I absolutely love them, they’ve taken over everything a proper support team should handle, even things I wasn’t even planning to give them around other DEX stuff. Not sure if it’s okay to share this as public feedback, but personally - thank you so much!"

This is why we love what we do.

💛 Placing people who don't just show up - but truly make a difference from day one.

Thanks Bangalore for joining us 🫂

[shivansh @joshaeeee]

30+ people choose Sufism over crowded (and smelly) Indiranagar clubs on a weekend.

Hosted Sufi Night @BLRxZo yesterday and it was SUCH A BLAST 🫶

Talked about Bulleh Shah, the Charkha and origins of Sufism.

Somewhere along the way, three hidden poets emerged from the crowd and shared pieces of their soul with us.

We ended the night by singing the best of Sufi songs and pouring our hearts out ♥️

To everyone who showed up: thank you. I love you all 🫶

Jaya Talent Signal: Web3 Job Market - May 2026

Overall: Maturing fast. Hype roles dying. Real product companies hiring selectively.

Hiring
1) ~18,000 active blockchain listings on LinkedIn globally
2) 94 new jobs in May on CryptoJobsList
3) Hot roles: Solidity/smart contract devs, security, compliance, protocol economists
4) Non-technical roles (marketing, community) being automated out first

AI shift
1) AI required in 53% of job postings (up from 23% last year)
2) 69% of Web3 pros moving from execution → managing AI agents
3) AI-proficient mid-level roles avg $115k vs $95k without (+21% premium)
4) 43% of all crypto postings are IT/engineering; BD only 10%

Location
1) Dubai now #1 talent hub, ahead of NY & Singapore
2) Top roles increasingly hybrid/in-person, not fully remote

Layoffs 2026
1) 5,000+ cuts across 25+ companies
2) TON Foundation — ~70-90% of staff laid off
3) Coinbase — ~700 cut (14%), AI restructuring
4) https://t.co/TVPwhQestX — 180 cut (12%), AI pivot
5) Gemini — up to 30%
6) Block — ~4,000 cut

Layoffs = efficiency plays, not collapse. Hiring continues in technical/senior roles.

Bottom line: AI fluency + technical depth = job security. Everything else is at risk.

OMG! So trueeeee

[Zhanna Manzyk | Crypto · Hedge Funds Recruiter @zhannamanzyk]

Wake up before the sun🌅

The Vedas call this time Brahma Muhurta - 96 minutes before sunrise. The most powerful hours of the day.

Here’s what happens when you’re awake for it:

Your mind → Naturally sattvic. Clear. Calm. No noise, no chaos — just pure thought.

Your body → Cortisol peaks naturally at dawn. Your energy, focus and metabolism are primed.

Your spirit → Ancient texts say the veil between you and your higher self is thinnest at this hour. Prayers hit different. Thoughts go deeper.

The science agrees too:
→ Lower cortisol stress response
→ Better mental clarity
→ Improved sleep cycle
→ Higher productivity all day

The sun doesn’t just bring light. According to Vedic wisdom, it carries Sattva - the quality of purity, peace and truth. And for a few minutes before it rises, that energy is yours alone.

No notifications. No demands. No world yet.

Just you and the beginning of everything🙏

The most successful people in history didn’t wake up early because they had to.

They woke up early because they knew something most people don’t.

The day belongs to those who claim it first.

Long-term games require one thing - make your client’s life simple. No headaches. Go beyond hiring. Be his partner. Predict what he needs before he knows he needs it.

When a client thinks “she/he already knew I’d need this” - you stop being replaceable.

You become the person they call before they’ve even formulated the problem.

In Web3 especially, where founding teams move fast and the talent pool is small and relationship-driven, this posture is a genuine moat.
