Vanguard is hiring a Head of Digital Assets to shape its long-term strategy around cryptocurrencies, tokenization, stablecoins and blockchain infrastructure, signaling a deeper evaluation of the sector despite having no plans to launch its own crypto investment products.

Vanguard posted a Head of Digital Assets role on July 6, 2026, signaling a major strategic shift for the $11 trillion asset manager toward crypto.

The new role would oversee tokenization, stablecoins and blockchain initiatives as Vanguard reassesses digital assets.
