The emerging blockchain industry lags behind the artificial intelligence sector in terms of job creation, but this luke in employment can narrow down until 2030.
Blockchain remains one of the smallest sectors in the technology industry, with about 300,000 global jobs, compared to 1.5 million in artificial intelligence and machine learning, and 25 million in creating software, in accordance with the novel Bitget research report made available by Cointegraph.
The blockchain sector added about 20,000 novel jobs in 2024, according to work offers aggregated from platforms such as LinkedIn, Web3 Jobs and the Crypto task list.
While employment based on blockchain had an average annual growth rate (CAGR) of 45%, ahead of most customary technological sectors, according to the report, 57% of CAGR in the AI industry conducts.
The maturity of the AI industry and the greater share of investments in the Venture capital are the main reasons for employment discrepancies, Vugar USi Zadea, Operational Director of Bitget Exchange, said Cointelegraph:
“Investors of ventures put over $ 100 billion in AI startups in 2024, and the titles focused on AI achieve a million free jobs around the world,” said Zaji Zada. “Meanwhile, Blockchain companies advertise only 20,000 openings and attracted only about $ 5.4 billion in the same period.”

Blockchain can generate over 1 million jobs by 2030.
AI job offers increased between 75% and 100% year -on -year, while the escalate in blockchain’s work remains about 45% to 60% growth.
The report said that Blockchain may exceed 1 million jobs by 2030 if he manages to scale at the same pace as the roles based on AI.
Zada said that greater regulatory transparency based on regulations such as European markets in cryptocurrency regulations (MICI) may encourage Blockchain to escalate their efforts to employ:
“The European book MICA, live since December 2024, is already thawing employment of freezing; similar clarity in the United States and Asia would unlock global main plans.”
“The second efficiency of the corporate class appears: the Ethereum update reduced the typical layer fees by over 95%, signaling that Blockchains can now support corporate movement at an acceptable cost,” he added.

While Blockchain based works are ready for development, “AI will naturally gain more talents in the next decade,” said CointeLgraph Jawad Ashraf, general director of Vanar Chain.
“This is because the integration of the AI market was faster than any other modern technology that we remember,” he said. “If you look at blockchain, we are still very focusing on integration with Tradfi and wider Web3 markets, such as games, tokenization of the real world, etc.”
He added: “Blockchain still did not penetrate more conventional consumer -oriented markets. In the near future, but we are not yet.”
Blockchain and AI do not compete for talent
“AI and Blockchain do not compete for talent; they work together to create new opportunities,” said Cointelegraph Yakov Lebedev, Business Development Director at 3Commas, a commercial automation solution.
The combination of two technologies allows “sophisticated financial tools available to everyone, not only large institutions, said, adding:
“Companies pay the highest dollar for professionals who understand both artificial intelligence and blockchain, recognizing the value of this professional knowledge.”
Lebedev added that the integration of blockchain with AI increases the constant increase in employment in both areas, because financial and technological companies transfer integrated solutions from pilot programs to basic operations.
Thanks to the synergistic benefits of two technologies, the increase in blockchain’s work can begin to reflect the AI industry, according to Adi Ben-Ara, founder and general director of Applied Blockchain, a company dealing with the AI-powered blockchain development program.
AI technology is “probabilistic and introduces uncertainty”, which causes a greater demand for blockchain and cryptographic technologies, said CointeLgraph.
“AI gives results that are not always true, may be false, and sometimes they may be incorrect,” he said. “This novel uncertainty must be against technology, which brings absolute confidence, and here blockchain and cryptography appear.”
Ben-ari added that blockchain’s ability to secure confidential information using cryptography would become more and more important, because AI consumes larger amounts of personal data.
AI agents are already using cryptocurrency for autonomous transactions. On December 16, 2024, Luna, AI agent at Virtuals Protocol, paid another AI agent from Protocol Stix, in exchange for painting generation services – sending virtual (virtual) tokens worth USD 1.77, onchain data. can be seen.
