Crypto Sector Navigates Evolving Job Market Amidst Institutional Push into Security Tokens

The crypto industry is experiencing a dual trend: significant institutional entry into new markets and a dynamic shift in its employment landscape. Mitsubishi UFG (MUFG) has launched ASTOMO, a retail platform for security tokens in Japan, allowing fractionalized real estate investments and marking further traditional finance integration with blockchain technology. Concurrently, a Dragonfly report highlights that remote work is now the norm in crypto jobs, accompanied by salary adjustments across various roles, though founders and engineers continue to receive top-tier compensation.

MUFG enters Japan's $1.27 billion security token market with ASTOMO, allowing retail investors to buy fractionalized real estate from $653 as major financial institutions accelerate blockchain adoption.

Dragonfly’s 2025 crypto jobs report shows remote work cemented as the norm, salaries tightening across roles, and founders plus engineers continuing to command premium compensation.
