Nasdaq, the US stock exchange, has begun recruiting key personnel to lead its digital-asset tokenization business. Following its push to list tokenized stocks, it is now moving to bring in a dedicated product manager, accelerating efforts to build out related infrastructure.

According to industry sources on the 20th (local time), Nasdaq recently posted a job opening for a product manager who will oversee the entire process for tokenized products—from early concept development to large-scale market rollout. The role will be responsible not only for establishing Nasdaq’s tokenized-products roadmap but also for core execution, including direct collaboration with institutional clients and partner firms.

Applicants are required to have about 5–10 years of product management experience in fintech or traditional capital markets. In addition to a strong understanding of digital assets and tokenization concepts, candidates must have the professional capability to work smoothly with in-house legal and compliance teams in a strict regulatory environment. The position is based in New York, US, and will operate in a hybrid format combining in-office and remote work.

The market is interpreting the hiring as a full-fledged move by Nasdaq to broaden its footprint in digital assets. After recently submitting an application to regulators to list tokenized stocks and reviewing the adoption of a blockchain-based settlement system, the company is seen as seeking to further solidify the foundation for tokenization infrastructure on the execution and planning front as well.
