BlackRock set to hire Managing Director of Digital Assets to lead crypto, stablecoin, and tokenization strategy, signaling deeper institutional commitment to onchain finance

$270-350K base to run $150B in digital asset-linked AUM — BlackRock is hiring from TradFi ops floors, not poaching protocol leads. They already have Tony Ashraf as Global Head of Digital Asset Transformation, so this second MD seat is about pushing tokenization deeper into the product stack across every business line. BUIDL sitting on 9 chains but still whitelisted-only on Uniswap tells you exactly where they are — institutional scale with permissioned training wheels, while Ondo and Maple eat the permissionless treasury yield market underneath them.
