Old Giants in New Cloaks: TradFi’s Hilarious Dive Into Crypto Chaos 🤡🚀

by

It appears that venerable titans of finance-Charles Schwab, Fidelity, and friends-have decided it’s high time to strut into the shiny world of crypto with the subtlety of a marching band. Yes, old wolves, dressed in their finest suits, are now hunting for senior crypto positions, as if a few titles and fancy buzzwords could turn them into digital cowboys overnight. All this eagerly occurs just as regulators finally decide to play nice-probably after too many late-night drinks, their clarity sparkling like the morning after a storm.

The job listings read like a script from a soap opera-Schwab, for example, is hunting for a senior product manager in crypto trading and another for on-chain adventures. Because who wouldn’t want to helm a ship in the wild sea of Bitcoin and Ether? CryptoMoon reports that Schwab’s chasing after Bitcoin and Ether spot trading, aiming for their grand debut by April 2026-perhaps just in time for the next global economic comedy show.

Meanwhile, Fidelity, with a modest $6.4 trillion tucked under its arm, is desperately seeking a crypto risk analyst-because nothing says “trustworthy” like hiring a risk professional just as the market teeters on the edge of chaos. The tech giant Booz Allen Hamilton is on the lookout for a crypto-savvy superstar, and Standard and Poor’s is hunting for a senior analyst in crypto and DeFi-presumably to tell everyone what exactly is going wrong.

All of this frenzy unfolds in tandem with the Trump administration’s latest attempt at clarity-signing the GENIUS Act, which, amusingly, aims to regulate stablecoins like they’re some sort of financial pet. The clarity has emboldened banking behemoths like JPMorgan Chase and Bank of America to dip their toes into the digital pond, probably to see if they can find a digital version of their legendary stubbornness.

The US Senate, perhaps inspired by this spectacle, is eyeing a market structure bill in September-here’s hoping it’s a blockbuster that finally combines the chaos of Wall Street with the wild west of crypto, with more regulations like glitter in a storm of confusion.

Web3 Jobs and the Great Evolution: From Hopeful to Overpaid?

According to the wise sages of Web3.career, the job market in crypto is changing faster than a chameleon on a rainbow-mirroring the industry’s ongoing identity crisis. Salaries in emerging markets are still the envy of other sectors-probably because they need a little more hope and a lot less stability.

Remote work is supposedly on the decline, replaced by a hybrid approach that sounds suspiciously like corporate chaos management. Artificial intelligence, once a nice party trick, has now become as necessary as oxygen-probably to automate the pain of explaining crypto to your boss.

And those entry-level gigs? Slimming down faster than a diet soda fad-companies are favoring seasoned sailors to navigate these treacherous waters, leaving the hopeful novices to ponder where the fun has gone.

Ah, the glorious circus of finance-where old giants toss their hats into the crypto ring, all while trying desperately not to fall flat on their faces. 🎭💼🙃
