July Crypto Executive Changes: 30 Key New Figures Take Office, Stablecoin and RWA Usher in Hiring Boom

The recruitment momentum remained stable in July, with cryptocurrency companies continuing to attract experienced operational personnel from traditional finance and the broader tech sector. Multiple teams strategically added executives in areas such as trading, revenue, legal, and growth, reflecting their efforts to normalize operations and prepare for a more regulated market environment. Recruitment activities covered domains including DeFi, stablecoins, on-chain infrastructure, and RWA platforms. A notable hiring surge emerged around stablecoin and tokenized asset initiatives. Bastion recruited two senior executives for financial and revenue functions while building infrastructure regulated by the New York Financial Services Authority.

Chainlink, NEAR, and ReserveOne continued this trend, with new hires focusing on ecosystem expansion and institutional positioning.
