Cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase COIN says that one million tech jobs are at risk of being outsourced to other countries.
What Happened: Coinbase said as “the U.S. goes down a path of regulatory uncertainty,” the EU, U.K., UAE, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, and Japan are all creating “environments for crypto to flourish.”
Coinbase said that a recent report from venture capital firm Electric Capital shows that the U.S. was facing a significant risk of losing out on one million web3 developer jobs and millions of related non-technical jobs over the next seven years if it continues with its current regulation by enforcement approach.
Electric Capital report states that in the last six years, the U.S.’s share of global web3 developers has plummeted from 40% to 29%. With no indications of this trend slowing down, the U.S. is losing an average of almost 2% of its share of web3 developers every year.
