Crypto Firms Chase Bank Charters — And That Means Hiring Blitz in Finance & Compliance

Date: 14 Jul 2025

Crypto isn’t just financial anymore — it’s becoming financial infrastructure. That’s a shift you can’t ignore.

Today’s Headline: Ripple, Circle, Kraken and BitGo Are All In on Bank Charters

U.S. crypto majors like Ripple, Circle, Kraken, and BitGo are aggressively pursuing national trust bank charters — a vote of confidence in digital asset services under current regulation.

They’re aiming to:

Process payments and custody assets under one roof
Skip state-by-state red tape
Integrate stablecoins directly into the regulated financial system

All of this comes as new U.S. stablecoin legislation makes its way through Washington

Why This Is a Hiring Alert (Not Just a News Story)

If you're scaling in Web3, this is your jam:

Compliance & Legal Hits Top Gear
National charter status means hiring serious compliance, AML, and audit talent — quickly.
Treasury + Banking Ops Go Institutional
These charters change how firms handle liquidity, fiat gateways, and stablecoin reserves. That means hiring people with TradFi know-how who speak crypto.
Product & Risk Need Firsthand Builders
Not theory. You need people who've built banking products — trust, treasury, FX — and understand blockchain plumbing.

For Hiring Teams:

If you're aiming for institutional compliance or scaling fiat/crypto services, start building your finance & legal squad now
Reject cookie-cutter resumes — look for experience in trust charters, custody, stablecoin projects, or banking tech
Act fast. These roles go quickly — and they’re mission-critical

For Job Seekers:

If you’ve worked in banking, stablecoin infrastructure, or custody, your skillset is in high demand
This is a moment to pivot into high-growth roles with serious upside and real impact
We’re already connecting talent with charter-in-progress teams

The bottom line: Crypto is evolving into regulated financial services. And with that come talent demands that look a lot more like traditional finance — compliance, treasury, legal — but with a Web3 twist.

At Crypto Recruit, we’re not watching this happen. We’re the ones connecting charter-stage teams with talent who can make it real.

If you’re building the future of finance, we’ll help you hire the people who can actually run it.
