The roles include director-level and legal positions across New York and Atlanta.

‍

BlackRock is expanding its presence in the crypto and blockchain space by hiring four new senior positions within its digital assets division. The move signals growing institutional interest in crypto among major Wall Street firms.

According to updates on BlackRock’s official careers page, the asset manager is recruiting for the following roles:

• Director of Digital Assets
• Director of Regulatory Affairs
• Vice President of Digital Assets and ETF Legal Counsel
• Digital Asset Assistant

Three of the jobs are based in New York, with one position listed in Atlanta. While the job descriptions are broad, the timing of the hiring spree comes as BlackRock deepens its push into crypto—following the success of its spot Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and its new Bitcoin ETP in Europe.

This expansion highlights BlackRock’s continued long-term commitment to shaping the digital asset landscape, even as regulatory uncertainty persists in the U.S.
