  • Vanguard posted a Head of Digital Assets role within its Personal Wealth division, its first dedicated crypto strategy job.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • The executive will build a multi-year roadmap covering tokenisation, stablecoins, custody, digital wallets and blockchain settlement.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Vanguard, which manages about US$10 trillion (AU$14.4 trillion), still says it has no plans to launch its own crypto products.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Vanguard has opened a search for a Head of Digital Assets, its first dedicated crypto strategy role, marking a change in course for a firm that spent years as one of the industry\u2019s loudest institutional skeptics. The job sits within Vanguard Personal Wealth and is based in Dallas.<\/p>\n

    The executive will build Vanguard\u2019s multi-year digital asset roadmap and assess tokenisation, stablecoins, custody, digital wallets and blockchain-enabled settlement, according to the posting.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The role coordinates the work across Vanguard\u2019s product, technology, operations, legal and compliance teams. Vanguard manages about US$10 trillion (AU$14.4 trillion).<\/p>\n

    No Products, For Now<\/h2>\n

    Vanguard says it has no plans to issue its own crypto investment products. Since December 2025, it has let its more than 50 million brokerage clients trade third-party cryptocurrency ETFs and mutual funds, which remains its only opening to the asset class.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Keep in mind Vanguard had blocked spot Bitcoin ETFs from its platform in January 2024, when the funds first launched, and reversed that block nearly two years later.<\/p>\n

    Chief Executive Salim Ramji has said the decision not to launch a Bitcoin ETF was \u201centirely consistent\u201d with the firm\u2019s investment philosophy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    Vanguard held out while its largest rivals moved in. BlackRock, Fidelity and Franklin Templeton launched spot Bitcoin ETFs and other blockchain products, and Vanguard did not.\u00a0<\/p>\n

    The posting also tasks the executive with designing governance and risk frameworks for how digital assets could fit Vanguard\u2019s wealth management business.<\/p>\n
