Apple & Google hire for stablecoins
Neither Apple nor Google has officially announced a new product, yet both are recruiting for stablecoin roles. Apple is seeking an Apple Pay strategy lead with expertise in tokenized deposits and blockchain. Over in Hong Kong, Google Cloud is hiring a Web3 architect to handle stablecoin rails and real-world asset tokenization. Keith (inneroperator) interprets the Google position as a signal pointing toward agentic commerce. Ben (iambenleavitt) argues that native crypto custody on phones would feel indistinguishable from standard banking apps to most people. This breakdown comes from M&M News.

Apple and Google hiring for stablecoins. Apparently, you've got Apple recruiting an Apple Pay strategy lead who understands stablecoins, tokenized deposits, and blockchain. Google Cloud is hiring a Hong Kong Web3 architect for institutional blockchain, stablecoin rails, and real-world assets organization. Neither firm announced a new coin or product. The openings are talent and infrastructure signals. Still there? Yes, sir. Wow. I mean for me it's like Google Cloud Google Cloud that's actually a fascinating one because that points more to me to like agentic commerce more than anything else but but yeah any thoughts on that? No I think that's we're going to go numb to headlines like that because I think everything everyone will be doing similar things. And it's also crazy because of the device stranglehold that Apple and Google or like Android, whatever the ecosystem has on these things, right? So as soon as they solve the consumer experience of like custody in a hot wallet that just natively on your phone it changes the game a lot dude Because everyone like what I find so funny whenever I talk to these people is because these words are stuff that they blockchain crypto is compounding on things that people don't understand. And so they picture it being something very different than what they currently experience or like scarier or like, they think they're going to have to get a new phone to do this kind of thing, right? It's like, it's going to look just like your bank app. totally you know what i mean maybe better uh so yeah it'll be like it'll be super different but it won't be at the same time yeah i mean all the stuff going on with you know apple wallet and then uh twitter you know x um things can be super super seamless and easy yeah man the x money stuff i think is truly insane and they released that update very recently where you can integrate with your like brokerage or whatever to buy the actual stock or asset oh that's actually the next story cool so oh no x just launched in fee trading this is such a massive deal if you enjoyed this be sure to hit that like button and follow to stay up to date with what's going on in the world and everything else memes and markets.
