The London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is actively searching for a director of digital assets, as revealed in a LinkedIn post. LSEG is looking for candidates with expertise in digital assets, cryptocurrencies, and distributed ledger technology. The chosen director will play a crucial role in developing a commercial strategy for new infrastructure solutions and expanding LSEG’s presence in digital private markets. Despite this move towards digital assets, LSEG remains cautious about cryptocurrencies, as it plans to create a blockchain-based traditional assets trading platform. Meanwhile, the UK’s regulatory stance on crypto continues to evolve, with recent actions and upcoming regulations impacting the local crypto industry.
