Vanguard, with $12T AUM, seeks 'Head of Digital Assets'

Asset management firm Vanguard, which oversees approximately $12 trillion in assets, has posted a public job opening for a "Head of Digital Assets" on its official website. According to the listing, the executive-level position within the Personal Wealth division will be responsible for overseeing the company's digital asset strategy and execution. Key duties include determining how Vanguard will engage with Bitcoin, tokenized real-world assets (RWA), stablecoins, and the broader blockchain market, as well as presenting a long-term roadmap. The move follows Vanguard's decision last December to allow the trading of cryptocurrency ETFs on its platform.
