    I’ve been a business analyst in fintech for 4 years, focusing on data analytics, Power BI dashboards, and stakeholder management. I’m now exploring blockchain-based business roles but prefer to stay on the non-developer side.

    I’ve started learning blockchain business foundations and smart contract basics. My interests include DeFi analytics, supply-chain transparency, and risk-management use cases.

    For someone in India looking for remote or global blockchain roles, which positions are actually hiring business analysts right now? I’ve seen titles like tokenomics analyst, Web3 business consultant, and DeFi operations analyst — but I’m unsure which are realistic for someone with a fintech background.

    If you’ve made a similar switch, I’d love to know:
    – Which skills or certifications made the biggest impact?
    – Any example projects or dashboards that helped you prove value to hiring managers?

    As a business analyst moving from fintech, your edge is understanding data flows, compliance, and user journeys — things many blockchain startups lack. The most in-demand roles right now are tokenomics analyst, DeFi operations associate, and blockchain compliance analyst. Each needs someone who can bridge product logic with regulatory insight and financial modeling.

    I’ve seen firms like Polygon, Chainalysis, and LayerZero hire analysts for KPI dashboards and partner performance tracking. Since you know Power BI and SQL, build dashboards on on-chain datasets using Dune Analytics or Flipside Crypto — that shows you can translate blockchain data into insights. Certifications like GSDC Blockchain for Business or Blockchain Council’s BA Track help, but hiring managers care more about proof of applied skill — a public dashboard wins more than a certificate.

    I made the same jump last year from a digital-payments background. What worked was building a “DeFi Lending Dashboard” on Dune that tracked borrow/lend ratios across Aave and Compound.

    I added short write-ups on how metrics related to protocol risk — that blend of analytics + context got me a token-economy analyst interview. If you’re from fintech, leverage your KPI storytelling skills — Web3 teams crave analysts who can explain complex token flows. Also, read governance proposals on Aave Governance or Curve DAO — it teaches which metrics matter.
