A legislative proposal to scrap the H-1B visa program has been put forward in the U.S. Congress. This move could reshape talent recruitment strategies across the tech sector, potentially affecting how crypto projects and blockchain companies source engineering talent. The proposal signals shifting priorities around immigration policy—worth monitoring if you're tracking how regulatory winds might impact the competitive landscape for technical talent in Web3 and beyond.

Damn, if H1B visas are gone, Silicon Valley will be in chaos. How will those Web3 startups survive?

Cancel H-1B? Then Silicon Valley has to explode, especially in the crypto sector. Without H-1B, how will the tech industry survive? They’ll have to compete for talent again. What is the US thinking this time, pushing talent abroad? Immigration policies are changing, and Web3 is hit the hardest. It feels like recruitment costs are about to rise... If this really passes, blockchain projects will have to find ways to recruit globally through remote work.

Now Silicon Valley is about to blow up. What does the end of H-1B mean? Web3 talent exodus warning --- Does the US really want to kick out all tech companies? This policy is a bit outrageous. --- Wait, how much impact does abolishing H-1B have on our projects? --- Another wave of regulatory storms. When can we finally focus on building products peacefully? --- Basically, they want to choke us off, and the crypto sector will also be affected.
