We elaborated on the issues of reducing the mismatch between the job market and the higher education market through the transformation of the institutional model of education that is aimed at satisfying the need of the segment of remote investment transactions for skilled employees. Combination of the theory of institutionalism, technological development and the digital economy was applied, as well as the formation of labour capital and investments management. The main methods used are of empirical character. They include analysis, synthesis, observation, comparison, and the graphical method. The theoretical generalisation of the problem of the mismatch between the analysed markets was offered, and its influence on the state of the economy and the development of labour capital was substantiated. Also, the key aspects of remote investing and the creation of an intellectual vacuum concerning the needs of the digital innovative process were considered. The scheme of transformation of the institutional model of interaction between the university education market and the work market during remote investment transactions was described, and the activity of main universities in the sphere of blockchain was studied. This study’s originality and value lie in the comprehensive character and the proposed approach to the institutional transformation of the work market and the market of university education based on the adequate reaction of educational institutions to an intellectual vacuum, which emerged as a result of the active development of the segment of the market of remote investment transactions on the Internet.
