As the speculative frenzy around crypto fades, Coinbase's CEO sees a rare opportunity for tech talents in this "market dip." Discover why crypto is the investment to watch closely in 2025.
According to Brian Armstrong, CEO of Coinbase, cryptocurrency is currently going through a “dormant phase”, far from the euphoria of 2021. While media attention has shifted to artificial intelligence, the crypto asset market is experiencing a strategic transformation, less visible but equally promising.

This dynamic actually conceals numerous opportunities, particularly for technical profiles. Despite the price decline, the crypto industry still offers cutting-edge technical challenges and competitive salaries, especially for developers, cryptographers, or blockchain engineers.
Joining this universe today means positioning yourself ahead of the next bull run, while acquiring highly specialized expertise in a rapidly maturing field.
Several elements attest to the long-term relevance of crypto :
Unlike more transversal sectors, crypto distinguishes itself through its vertical technical expertise that is difficult to transpose elsewhere. This creates a natural barrier to entry… but also a competitive advantage for those who start today.
Coinbase is no longer limited to being a simple exchange platform. The company is building a complete Web3 infrastructure, encompassing institutional custody, derivative products, regulatory compliance tools, and a gateway between fiat and decentralized ecosystems.
Its strategic positioning anticipates future market needs, at a time when European banks, particularly French ones, are exploring financial asset tokenization, often coupled with the issuance of regulated stablecoins.
