    What are the most important blockchain business analyst skills for someone moving from fintech to Web3 or crypto analyst roles?

    I’m a business analyst in Singapore with four years’ experience in digital banking and payments, plus a CBAP cert.

    Should I focus on technical skills like smart contracts and on-chain analytics, or is business strategy more important? Are certifications like CBBF or CEBP actually useful here?

    Would love advice from anyone who’s made this switch.

    The most important skill for a blockchain business analyst in fintech is understanding blockchain basics.

    You need to know how smart contracts work and what decentralization means for financial products. Compliance knowledge, especially with KYC and AML, is essential in fintech.

    I’ve found that bridging the gap between technical teams and business leaders is crucial. You must explain blockchain concepts in simple business terms. Experience with platforms like Ethereum or Hyperledger helps a lot. Data analysis skills are also valuable, especially for digital asset management and DeFi projects. Stay curious and follow fintech and blockchain trends to grow your career in this niche.

    Honestly, if you’re looking to move into blockchain as a business analyst in fintech, start by nailing the basics: how blockchain actually works, what smart contracts do, and why decentralization matters in finance. I struggled at first with all the jargon, but once I got comfortable explaining blockchain stuff to my non-tech coworkers, things got way easier. You also need to know your way around regulations—KYC and AML are huge in fintech. And don’t sleep on getting hands-on with tools like Ethereum or Hyperledger, even if it’s just a basic project. The more you can connect the tech to real business problems, the better you’ll do. Keep an eye on DeFi and new trends—it helps you stay sharp and relevant.
