According to Coindesk, BlackRock has posted a job vacancy for a New York-based VP of blockchain to help with the valuation of crypto assets.
The applicant must have at least a year’s experience in the technological foundations of blockchain technology including cryptographic hash functions, distributed network consensus mechanisms, and public-private key cryptography, according to the post.
Candidates should be able to “devise and articulate fundamental valuation methodologies for crypto-assets; evaluate game theory and decentralizing governance models associated with blockchain technology,” stated the listing.
Recently, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink made some bullish comments on bitcoin, saying it has “caught the attention” of many people and that the nascent cryptocurrency asset class can possibly “evolve” into a global market asset.
