BlackRock is currently advertising several roles connected to cryptocurrency and blockchain on its careers page. The openings are listed across different regions, including the US, Europe and Asia.
These jobs differ in seniority, spreading from associate roles to managing director positions. Locations include New York, London, Dublin and Singapore. This shows that the hiring is spread across multiple offices rather than centered in one place.
Many of the openings focus on crypto assets, stablecoins, and the tokenization of conventional financial instruments. One managing director role based in New York lists a salary range of $270,000 to $350,000 per year, highlighting the strategic weight the firm appears to place on these positions.
Robert Mitchnick, BlackRock’s head of digital assets, referenced the hiring drive in a LinkedIn post, noting that the firm is looking to expand both its technical depth and its ability to execute projects that sit at the intersection of traditional markets and blockchain-based infrastructure.

The latest recruitment follows a broader shift inside the firm over the past year. BlackRock has steadily added senior personnel to its digital asset team as it develops its crypto strategy, including work around exchange-traded products and early-stage tokenization efforts.
Market observers say the hiring wave reflects more than short-term enthusiasm. Instead, it signals an attempt to build internal capacity and credibility in an asset class that many large investors now view as strategically relevant. Existing offerings such as the iShares Bitcoin Trust have already attracted sizable inflows, providing traditional investors with a regulated entry point into digital assets.
Several of the openings lean heavily toward compliance, legal review, and governance, alongside more traditional research and product work. That mix stands out, and it suggests the crypto roles are being built into BlackRock’s existing regulated teams rather than carved out as a separate experiment.
The Singapore-based leadership role, which covers digital asset strategy across Asia, points to where some of that attention is heading, particularly in markets where rules are still being defined and institutional interest has been picking up. With senior hires now being made at this level, crypto work inside large asset managers appears to be shifting away from trial runs and toward longer-term integration.
