Looking for Rust jobs on LinkedIn used to yield mostly postings in crypto. That may not be the case anymore with the downturn, my guess is that there are just fewer rust jobs now that the crypto ones are gone.

I think the reason is simply that crypto companies didn't have the clout or stability of big tech and also the sector has a poor reputation amongst engineers so they pick hip languages to compensate. Like "Yes I know, working in crypto is terrible but did you think about how you could write Rust everyday instead of Java??"
