Specifically, the SEC – a US governmental body that focuses on resolving policy issues in the country regarding crypto regulations – is reported having a vacant position for “crypto specialist”, who would act as a consultant that “provides expertise and coordinates TM activities regarding crypto and digital asset securities”. SEC is willing to offer a salary of up to $239,000 for the role.

“Duties include coordination with Division staff to establish a comprehensive plan to address crypto and digital asset securities; engage with other Divisions and Offices on such matters; serve as the Division’s point of contact for domestic and international regulators, market participants, and the public; provide expert level comment on policy and workstreams.” The job description was listed out in the post.

In order to qualify for the post, the applicants must reportedly have either a Juris Doctor (J.D.) or a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) degree, along with being a “good standing” and active member of the Federal Bar Association. Extensive knowledge and past experience in the legal field regarding crypto laws is also required.
