Tech Giants Apple and Google Chase Crypto Talent

Apple and Google are on the hunt for crypto-savvy talent, signaling their growing interest in stablecoins. The tech giants have posted job ads seeking senior employees with experience in stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain infrastructure.

The Apple announcement lists 'stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain technology' as preferred qualifications for a strategic role that will support Apple Card and Apple Cash products. The successful candidate will need to be a 'strategic thinker who can combine analytical rigor with business acumen,' according to the job description.

Meanwhile, Google is seeking an Industry Principal Architect for Web3 in Hong Kong, where they will advise clients on blockchain-based projects and shape the company's Web3 product roadmap. The ideal candidate should be familiar with payment tracks for stablecoins, tokenized deposits, custody systems, and other relevant technologies.

The move by Apple and Google underscores growing interest in stablecoins among major players in the financial sector. Visa recently reported that its stablecoin settlement volume surpassed $20 billion annually, while Mastercard has expanded support for USDC and RLUSD stablecoins.
