Apple and Google Hire Crypto Talent Amid Growing Interest in Stablecoins
Apple and Google are actively recruiting professionals with expertise in stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain infrastructure. Apple is seeking a New York-based strategist to help shape its financial products like Apple Pay, Apple Card, and Apple Cash, while emphasizing knowledge of blockchain technology as a preferred qualification. Similarly, Google Cloud is hiring an Industry Principal Architect for Web3 based in Hong Kong to advise customers on digital assets and influence the company's product roadmap. Both companies are exploring opportunities related to stablecoins but have not confirmed plans to integrate them into their existing services. Stablecoins like Tether’s USDT and Circle’s USDC, which track traditional currencies such as the U.S. dollar, are gaining traction in financial systems for settlement and payments. Google is already involved with blockchain infrastructure projects, including its Universal Ledger initiative and support of Open USD alongside major players like Coinbase and Visa. Other payment companies have also expanded stablecoin usage; Visa reported over $20 billion annualized volume from stablecoin settlements.
