Big Crypto Week Win: Stablecoin Law Signed — What’s Next for Hiring in Web3?

Date: 21 Jul 2025

For founders hiring in Web3, forget charts — this week’s headlines are your real signal.

Today’s Big Shift: The GENIUS Act Is Now Law

Congress just passed and the President signed the GENIUS Act, giving U.S. stablecoins a federal framework. It mandates audits, full reserves, and anti-money-laundering checks. Meanwhile, two other crypto bills also moved toward being law: one clarifying SEC vs. CFTC boundaries, and another blocking a U.S. CBDC.

Why This Is a Hiring Alert

Compliance Leads Are Mission-Critical — Yesterday
Stablecoin issuers need in-house audit, AML, and compliance leadership. This is a new foundational requirement—not an add-on down the line.
Finance Teams Must Be Fed-Ready
Expect scrutiny, regular audits, on-chain reporting requirements. Founders must hire FP&A, finance controller, and treasury roles that can systemize for regulation, not just growth.
Product & Engineering Must Build for Regulation
These teams must implement real-time monitoring, proof-of-reserves tools, and fiat on/off ramps that comply with the new regs. Hiring engineers who understand compliance isn’t optional anymore—it’s critical.

What Crypto Recruit Is Doing

Expediting compliance hires — compliance, legal ops, AML experts with stablecoin experience.
Sourcing finance leads skilled in audit, reporting, and regulatory-ready systems.
Bridging devs with purpose — engineers and product leads who can build fintech-grade stablecoin tools, not just dApps.

For Founders & Hiring Managers

If your product handles stablecoins—or plans to add them—don’t delay:

Hire compliance leads before you launch
Build your finance team ready for monthly audits
Ensure engineering & product roles include regulatory experience

Hire early, operate smart, stay compliant—and you win the trust battle before it even starts.

For Talent on the Move

If you’ve worked in payments, stablecoin products, audit, or AML in Web3 or fintech — holy shit, your skills are hot right now.

We’re already placing legal and compliance leads into teams that need them today (not tomorrow).

Bottom line: The GENIUS Act didn’t just pump the market—it flipped the hiring script. Compliance and finance aren't "later additions." They're the foundation.

At Crypto Recruit, we see the shift — and we’re already matching teams with the right talent.
