Bitget Report Reveals 33% of Crypto Job Applicants Come From Banking
VICTORIA, Seychelles, Jan. 25, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Bitget, the world’s leading cryptocurrency exchange and Web3 company, released a comprehensive report revealing that one-third of crypto job applicants are former employees of the banking and financial sectors. The report also provides invaluable insights into the impact of decentralized technologies on banks in 2023 and analyzes how remote work and digitalization have influenced the financial job market.
Key takeaways:
– 33% of the exchange job applicants previously worked in banking;
– Investments in blockchain retail banking will reach $40.4 billion by 2031;
– 50% reduction of revenues of banks resulted in over 70,000 job cuts between 2020-2023;
– 36% of blockchain-related posted roles were remote-based, double the global average of 16%
– Salaries in crypto startups are almost double those of banking comparable positions;
– 23% of candidates apply for KYC Manager, Compliance Associate, Senior Compliance Associate, and AML Analyst.
The report delves into some major events that have driven the adoption of blockchain in traditional banking in 2023, including the launch of development initiatives aimed at decentralized technology adoption by such giants as HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Citi Group, and others. Predictions state that the impact of blockchain in retail banking will achieve a milestone of $40.4 billion by 2031, a CAGR growth of 40.4%, with banking spending on blockchain estimated to reach $22.5 billion between 2025 and 2026.
The main section of the report is dedicated to the trends in recruitment in the blockchain industry, emphasizing that talents from the financial sector are migrating into the domain of cryptocurrencies in search of opportunities, attracted by higher salaries and innovation prospects. The result is a brain-drain from traditional banking, driving reevaluation of hiring approaches and compensation offers on the part of the latter.
The statistics presented in the report showcase that the UK alone experienced a 46% increase in technology-related vacancies in 2020 – one-third of all jobs advertised in the country. The case is best described by Goldman Sachs, where 30% of employees are software engineers.
The reduction in revenues by investment banks by over 50% year-over-year has resulted in layoffs, leading to a migration of talents. The reorganizations of such banks as Morgan Stanley, BlackRock, Goldman Sachs, and others, alone have led to over 50,000 job cuts since 2020. Another 20,000 jobs were cut by five major banks in 2023.
The shift towards technology-focused jobs on the part of younger employees is also revealed to be a major factor, further eroding the workforce of banks. The outflow was somewhat balanced by the hi-tech industry, where companies like Coinbase, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and others hired from 20 to 200 employees. The crypto sector led the hiring spree, with Coinbase attracting 197 talents, and Amber Group – 250. Such dynamics remain, despite the FTX crisis in 2022, which saw over 2,000 job losses in the sector.
Regarding compensation, the report states that banks have reduced overall salaries due to remote working conditions and digitization, while the crypto industry offered competitively higher salaries for remote employees. In 2022, 36% of blockchain-related posted roles were remote-based, double the estimated worldwide average of 16%. As for salaries, junior engineers at crypto startups in London can expect to get beginning wages of around $125,000 with incentives, compared to $87,810 investment banks offer for similar positions. The difference is cardinal in the case of banks, where salaries average at $54,000, while crypto firms offer around $115,667.
The Bitget report also draws on resume counts to highlight the outflow of banking employees, stating that the yearly count of resumes associated with banking surged from 880 to 1,440 in 2 years, a 113% increase in 2022, and 143% in 2023. This means that in 2023, 33% of all resumes originated from the banking industry. As for interest from professionals outside the crypto market, the 180% rise was almost doubled to 330% over 2 years.
Middle and senior positions in investment relations, business development and sales, KYC and compliance, data analytics, product design, project management, and backend engineering, are among the most commonly encountered. 23% of candidates applied for roles such as KYC Manager, Compliance Associate, Senior Compliance Associate, and AML Analyst.
Factors, such as high salaries, industry prestige, growth opportunities, and flexibility are stated as the main reasons for employee migration to the crypto industry. Banks are responding slowly, with 74% of CFOs surveyed by Deloitte stating that they plan to shift previously on-premise workers to remote positions.
Gracy Chen, Managing Director of Bitget, stated, “Bitget’s latest report sheds light on the remarkable transformation occurring in the financial job market, as crypto gains momentum and decentralization reshapes traditional banking. The data indicates a significant shift, with talents from the banking sector migrating towards cryptocurrency, drawn by the promise of higher salaries and innovation prospects. Such a shift may lead to increased mergers and acquisitions in both markets, impacting job reductions and transforming the labor market. As the crypto industry continues to thrive, we remain committed to providing valuable insights that empower professionals and market participants in navigating these evolving landscapes,”
Bitget releases regular studies on a wide range of topics that encompass its markets of operation and global trends that influence the development of the decentralized economy. The reports provide invaluable information to both professionals and market participants seeking insights into potential future changes in industries and opportunities for development.

Rule 10b-5 Private Securities-Fraud Litigation Peaked in 4Q’24
BETHESDA, Md., Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — SAR, a data analytics company specialized in the securities litigation risk of U.S. public companies, today published the Securities Class Action Rule 10b-5 Exposure Report for 4Q 2024. According to the report, securities litigation exposure of public company defendants that trade in the NYSE and NASDAQ peaked during the fourth quarter of 2024, when records were set across the buoyant U.S. equity markets. During the bullish market conditions of 2024, shareholders claimed approx. $665.2 billion in market capitalization losses due to alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 – the most in the last five years.
According to the report, global quarterly Rule 10b-5 securities litigation exposure in 2024 was 17% greater than the average of 2023. Actual monetary settlements with investor plaintiffs last year were, on average, 23% greater than during the last six years.
SAR data and analysis indicate that the litigation exposure of U.S. public company defendants amounts to approximately $380.3 billion in 2H 2024. Shareholders claimed approximately $4.0 billion in market capitalization losses per securities class action filing, and approximately $2.0 billion per allegedly fraud-related stock drop in 2H 2024. The former metric increased by 32.1%, and the latter by 15.4% during the second half of 2024.
“Our data and analyses indicate that securities litigation exposure against U.S. public companies peaked in the fourth quarter of last year. This peak may be short-lived with an expected increase in volatility and new headwinds for U.S. equities given greater shareholder scrutiny of corporate disclosures. With average Rule 10b-5 settlements over 20% greater in 2024 than during the last six years, litigation activity is expected to increase in 2025,” said Anthony Kabanek, EVP of SAR.
According to the report, in 2023 and 2024 investor plaintiffs claimed $13.6 billion and $20.5 billion, respectively, in private Rule 10b-5 securities-fraud class actions that relied on short-seller research.
Key takeaways:
- 86 U.S. issuers were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 during 2H 2024. Based on allegations presented in the first-filed class action complaint against each defendant issuer, U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $259.4 billion. U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure decreased -5.4% relative to 1H 2024.
- U.S. SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure peaked in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, followed by a decline to trend in the 4th quarter of 2024.
- 9 Non-U.S. issuers were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 during 2H 2024. Based on allegations presented in the first-filed class action complaint against each defendant issuer, ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $120.9 billion. ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure increased by 11.3x relative to 1H 2024.
- An anomalously high 4th quarter exposure among Non-U.S. issuers contributed to a remarkably volatile year for ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure.
- Rule 10b-5 private securities-fraud filing frequency and potential loss severity need not move in tandem. Global exposure increased by approximately 34% in the 2H 2024 relative to 1H 2024, while filing frequency remained relatively stable.
- 38 U.S. Large Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 in 2H 2024, the same observed frequency as 1H 2024. The U.S. Large Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $233.7 billion, a decrease of 10.1% relative to 1H 2024.
- 22 U.S. Mid Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5 In 2H 2024. The U.S. Mid Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $19.8 billion, more than 3 times the amount in 1H 2024.
- 26 U.S. Small Caps were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5. The U.S. Small Cap SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure amounts to $5.9 billion, a decrease of 33% relative to 1H 2024.
- 9 Non-U.S. issuers that trade via ADRs in the U.S. public markets were sued for alleged violations of Rule 10b-5. The ADR SCA Rule 10b-5 Exposure increased by over 11.3x to ~$121 billion, relative to 1H 2024.

Sobi’s full year 2024 revenue higher than previous estimate
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Swedish Orphan Biovitrum AB (publ) (Sobi®) (STO:SOBI) announces today that revenue for the full year 2024 was higher than previous estimate. Full-year revenue was approximately SEK 26,000 M, representing approximately 19% growth at constant exchange rate (CER) (1). Adjusted EBITA margin (1,2) was in the mid-30s per cent of revenues.
The main reasons for the increased revenue are higher sales than expected in Q4 across the Haemophilia portfolio and for Kineret.
- Altuvoct: Higher than expected rate of new patients switching to Altuvoct in markets where the product has been launched, mainly Germany and Switzerland.
- Elocta: Benefited from higher patient numbers across markets and in markets where Altuvoct is launched there were less switches than expected from Elocta. Favorable gross-to-net effects were also observed.
- Alprolix: Higher than expected number of new patients as well as increase in on-demand treatments across Europe.
- Kineret: Higher than expected sales driven mainly by positive gross-to-net adjustments and favorable order phasing but also supported by increased demand.
- The adjusted EBITA margin remained in the expected range as the stronger revenue performance was offset by negative mix effects on the gross margin as well as investments into our launch and pipeline products in the fourth quarter.
At the publication of the Q3 2024 report on 24 October 2024 Sobi stated the outlook for the full year 2024 to be: Revenue was anticipated to grow by a mid-teens percentage at CER and adjusted EBITA margin was anticipated to be in the mid-30s per cent of revenue.
Sobi will announce its fourth quarter and full year 2024 report on Wednesday 5 February 2025 at 8:00 am CET.

By vertical, the BFSI segment to hold the largest market size during the forecast period.
The knowledge graphs serve as a strong foundation for relating customer data, transactions history, credit scores, and risk profiles within the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) sector, allowing the exact relationship mapping and insights. These are also employed in fraud detection through real-time identification of hidden patterns and for regulatory compliance with standards such as AML (Anti Money Laundering) and KYC (know Your Customer), where data can be traced and is transparent. In banking, knowledge graphs facilitate credit risk analysis which makes the process of loan approval more efficient, in insurance by linking policies, claims data, and fraud indicators thus optimizing claims processing. All these will, when combined with other data points, produce AI-powered applications: personalized advice-based solutions on finances and intelligent virtual assistants, which will create operational efficiency and improved customer experience in BFSI.
Virtual assistants, self-service data, and digital asset discovery segment to have the highest growth during the forecast period.
Knowledge graphs are essential for building virtual assistants, self-service data platforms, and even digital asset discovery, for they build interconnected data networks that help in enhancing the searchability and insights. Virtual assistants use knowledge graphs to provide context-sensitive responses that improve user interactions and provide tailored recommendations. Self-service data platforms use knowledge graphs to allow business users to access and analyze complex datasets without technical help, which helps them to make better decisions. They make the identification and classification of digital resources, such as documents or media, easier through linking metadata and content relationships for the discovery of digital assets. This capability enables effective resource management, innovation, and improvement in user experience in areas such as content creation, research, and enterprise workflows.
