Deloitte Could Be Jumping Into Crypto Headfirst With Hundreds of Job Listings

Deloitte appears to have the most crypto-related job listings of the “Big Four” accounting firms

Recent activity on LinkedIn and Google Jobs suggests that Deloitte is on the prowl for crypto natives to join its ranks.

A search on LinkedIn for crypto jobs based in the US spits out 331 available roles at Deloitte, with virtually all of them posted a week ago. The same LinkedIn search for crypto-related listings at the other “Big Four” accounting firms — Ernst & Young, KPMG and PricewaterhouseCoopers — have zero results.

Crypto-related titles at Deloitte include:

Blockchain & Digital Assets Manager — position available in 97 US locations
Tax Manager, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency — position available in 18 US locations
Tax Manager, Blockchain & Cryptocurrency in NFTs — position available in three US locations

This comes as Deloitte signals its continued readiness to work with crypto firms. Blockworks reported in January 2023 that Circle hired Deloitte to audit its proof-of-reserves. Just a month earlier, all of the “Big Four” firms were “unwilling” to conduct this type of audit for a private crypto company.

In the listing for “Blockchain & Digital Assets Manager,” Deloitte tells applicants that they will be leading teams to provide audit readiness for blockchain and digital asset transactions. Additionally, the post says that applicants will design governance models, identify new risks and evaluate blockchain reliability.

There are several crossover listings on Deloitte’s website, and for now it is unclear if these positions that it seeks to fill were advertised previously. Blockworks has reached out to Deloitte for comment and has not received an immediate response.

Why Solana Mobile Should 100x Their Phone Production

Solana Mobile is a highly ambitious foray into the mobile consumer hardware market, seeking to open up a crypto-native distribution channel for mobile-first applications. The market for Solana Mobile devices has demonstrated a phenomenon whereby external market actors (e.g. Solana-native projects) continuously underwrite subsidies to Mobile consumers. The value of these subsidies, coming in the form of airdrops, trial programs, and exclusive NFT mints, have consistently covered the cost of the phone and generated positive returns for consumers. Given this trend in subsidies, the unit economics in the market for Mobile devices, and the initial growth rate and trajectory of sales, it should be expected that Solana mobile can clear 1M to 10M units over the coming years. As more devices circulate amongst users, Solana Mobile presents a promising venue for the emergence of killer-applications uniquely enabled by this mobile-first, crypto-native distribution channel.
