It looks like Deloitte is jumping headfirst into the world of cryptocurrencies, as the massive accounting and consulting firm has recently published hundreds of job listings related to the subject. Most of these listings are located in the United States, while similar searches on the other Big Four accounting firms—KPMG, Ernst & Young, and PricewaterhouseCoopers— came up empty.

The positions listed by Deloitte range from Blockchain and Digital Assets Managers to Senior Consultants with a FinTech & Cyber focus. As detailed in the Blockchain & Digital Assets Manager job posting, applicants will have to lead teams in order to provide audit readiness for blockchain and digital asset transactions, as well as craft and evaluate reliable governance models and spot potential issues in the crypto and blockchain space.

This sudden hint of interest in the crypto world from Deloitte follows the firm’s recent audit of Circle’s proof-of-reserves, back in January of this year, making them the first of the Big Four to do so. This meant Deloitte was willing to go where the other three firms were not, which could suggest a deeper interest from the firm in the crypto space.

Deloitte is possibly hoping to draw in experienced professionals well-versed in the crypto and blockchain world to become a part of their organization. It looks like Deloitte is taking a big step towards getting more involved in the world of cryptocurrencies, making it a trailblazer of sorts as the only Big Four accounting firm so far to have fully embraced the skyrocketing asset class.
