The world's largest asset manager, BlackRock, has begun hiring personnel to expand its digital asset business. It is assessed to have entered a stage of actively expanding its digital asset organization following the launch of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) and the operation of an Ethereum-based tokenization fund.

According to a report by Crypto News on the 24th (local time), BlackRock posted numerous new digital asset-related positions centered on New York, London, and Singapore. Robert Mitchnick (Robert Mitchnick), head of BlackRock Digital Assets, said, "Recently BlackRock is hiring many leadership positions to expand the organization to encompass tokenization, stablecoins, and the overall structure of the digital asset market."

According to the job postings, the roles range widely from junior to senior executive levels. They include roles covering the entire digital asset business such as product strategy and research, fund services, regulation and compliance. In particular, the proportion of global roles responsible for the European and Asian markets stands out.

In New York, a managing director position, the most senior role, is being recruited. The salary range for this position was presented as 270,000 dollars to 350,000 dollars, and it will oversee enterprise-wide digital asset strategy linked to digital assets, stablecoins, and tokenization.

In Singapore, BlackRock is recruiting a managing director to lead digital asset strategy for the Asia-Pacific region. The role includes multi-year business planning, collaboration with regulators, and designing distribution strategies through banks and brokers, digital asset exchanges, and fintech platforms. BlackRock is also expanding tokenization-related fund services, financial crime response, and legal personnel for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

This hiring comes after BlackRock has played a leading role in bringing digital assets into traditional portfolios. BlackRock drove institutional capital inflows through a spot Bitcoin ETF and expanded into on-chain finance on the Ethereum network by launching an institutional tokenized liquidity fund, BUIDL.

BlackRock has presented the iShares Bitcoin Trust as one of the core investment themes for 2025, mentioning it alongside short-term government bonds and a basket of large technology stocks. The BUIDL fund was recently accepted as collateral on Binance, drawing attention as an example of tokenized government bonds being incorporated into institutional financial infrastructure. Industry observers analyze that this workforce expansion is a move to establish digital assets as a long-term financial infrastructure rather than a one-off investment theme.
