The firm seeks a senior executive to oversee tokenization, stablecoins, and crypto ETF integration amid a strategic shift.
Vanguard has launched a search for a head of digital assets, a new senior role tasked with shaping its blockchain and cryptocurrency strategy. The executive will develop a multi-year roadmap, assess opportunities in tokenization and stablecoins, and coordinate cross-functional efforts in product, legal, and compliance teams.
The move follows Vanguard’s recent decision to permit trading of crypto ETFs and mutual funds, though it has not yet launched its own crypto products. The firm’s evolving stance reflects broader industry trends as asset managers explore digital asset integration.
The role will also involve advising leadership on market developments and engaging with regulators and industry groups to refine Vanguard’s long-term approach to digital assets.
