NEW YORK, September 27, 2022 (Newswire.com) –
The rise of blockchain technology has been a popular topic for some time now, and there are conflicting opinions about its potential. To see how the blockchain industry is holding up after the turbulent years of COVID-19 and a downturn in crypto markets, Coresignal, a leading public business data provider, conducted research and analyzed the trends of blockchain start-ups. It has been found that the number of new blockchain companies globally has decreased by 93.9% since 2018 (from 8,112 in 2018 to 492 in the first half of 2022).
The report also shows that most of the newly founded blockchain companies were located in the US and the UK. Comparing the distribution between continents, when it comes to the total number of new blockchain companies in the period 2018-2022, Europe takes first place. Europe is home to nearly 6,000 new blockchain companies, while N. America takes second place with nearly 5,000 newly founded blockchain companies.
Coresignal also analyzed the labor market competitiveness of newly founded blockchain companies. It has been shown that job competition among newly founded blockchain companies is relatively low compared to average numbers. On average, a company position attracts around 250 applicants. However, new blockchain companies limited to 26 applicants per job advertisement.
Another interesting finding is that job competition in newly founded blockchain companies was highest in Africa, followed by Europe and South America.
Analyzing investor interest, it was revealed that the most externally funded companies are US based and operate in the Financial Services or Computer Software/Games industry.
The top three new US-based blockchain companies received a total of $3.5 billion in funding, while the three most funded Asian and European blockchain companies only received around $800 million and $140 million, respectively.
