New York is among the top states where residents are most interested in pursuing full-time careers in cryptocurrency, according to new research by Bitcoin casino Gamdom. The study, which analyzed Google search data for crypto career-related terms, found that New York ranks third nationwide, with 34.1 monthly searches per 100,000 people—141% above the U.S. average.
Massachusetts leads the rankings, with 88.9 monthly searches per 100,000 people, a staggering 528% above the national average. Connecticut comes in second with 71.5 searches per 100,000 residents, 405% higher than average. These two states dominate interest in cryptocurrency careers, significantly outpacing other states.
New York recorded the highest sheer number of searches nationwide, with an average of 6,674 searches per month. Despite trailing Massachusetts and Connecticut in per-capita terms, the Empire State remains a significant hub for those seeking blockchain-related jobs, reflecting its role as a major financial and technological center.
Rounding out the top five are New Hampshire and Kansas, where residents searched for crypto career opportunities at rates of 32 and 20.9 per 100,000 people, respectively, 126% and 47% above the national average.
Gamdom’s founder, Felix Römer, highlighted the findings, noting, “These results suggest that those who possess the expertise and desire to turn cryptocurrency into a full-time career are concentrated in states like Massachusetts, Connecticut, and New York. This could have serious economic benefits for these areas depending on the evolution of crypto as a mainstream sector.”
The study underscores a growing interest in cryptocurrency as a career path, particularly in the Northeast, where many of the leading states are located. This interest signals a broader shift toward viewing cryptocurrency as a viable long-term industry rather than a passing trend.
