What a week in London! It was incredible spending time with the @PyxisSearch team and attending the Digital Asset Summit 2025 (DAS London) — one of the most insightful gatherings in the digital finance ecosystem. The event underscored how AI, blockchain, and traditional finance are converging faster than ever. From tokenization of real-world assets to the rapid evolution of on-chain infrastructure, the takeaways were clear: innovation is accelerating, institutional adoption is real, and the talent powering it all is in high demand. Huge thanks goes to @MikeIppolito_ , @JasonYanowitz and the @blockworks team for hosting another high quality, institutionally focused conference! We also used the week to align on Pyxis’ goals for 2026 and beyond — refining our strategy across AI + Web3 recruiting, strengthening partnerships with top VC-backed companies, and expanding our reach globally. The future looks bright, and we’re truly firing on all cylinders. With a growing list of high-impact roles across engineering, product, and GTM for leading startups, we’re continuing to scale — and we’ll be hiring AI-focused recruiters to join our team as demand surges. Exciting times ahead. 🚀 #AI #Web3 #Recruiting #DigitalAssets #Talent #VentureCapital #PyxisSearch

I look forward to seeing many familiar and new faces at the @blockworksDAS in London on October 13th. Thank you to @blockworks for putting on such outstanding events! Please DM me if you wish to chat on anything and everything talent related.

🇺🇸 Banks are sounding the alarm on stablecoins—and it matters for Web3 hiring: A new Wall Street Journal piece highlights why stablecoin adoption has traditional banks on edge—and career opportunities are emerging as a result: •Stablecoins are going mainstream: pegged 1:1 to fiat, they enable fast, low-cost payments, especially cross‑border, which challenges traditional banking’s core business •Deposit flight risk: banks warn stablecoins could siphon off up to $6.6 trillion from traditional deposits—impacting their capital and lending capacity •Regulatory headwinds: The Genius Act limits interest payouts on stablecoins, but issuers like Circle and Coinbase are already offering incentives that mimic yield-bearing accounts •Banks pivot to opportunity: from managing reserve assets to exploring their own stablecoin initiatives—major institutions are now viewing them as a strategic frontier ⸻ At Pyxis Search, we’re tracking this shift closely because: 1.Talent demand is evolving – finance firms now need blockchain developers, compliance experts, and product leads who understand token mechanics and on-chain governance. 2.Crypto-native and traditional firms are converging – as banks and fintechs build internal blockchain capabilities, competition for talent is heating up. 3.Web3 recruiters must adapt – to support this growth, we’re advising clients to seek hybrid skill sets: crypto fluency and rigor in regulatory, treasury, and risk management. If you’re a stablecoin, DeFi, or blockchain payments specialist, let’s connect—there are pioneering roles across institutions building the next-gen digital dollar economy. ⸻ 📣 Bottom line: Stablecoins aren’t just a crypto story—they’re disrupting banking. And where disruption happens, recruitment accelerates. Pyxis is here to match Web3 talent with the roles reshaping digital finance.

🚨 Excited @JVZeidaks will be attending the @NewcomerMedia Cerebral Valley Summit in London this Wednesday, 25th June!

This is easily one of the most well-curated gatherings in the AI space, bringing together some of the sharpest minds shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Huge thanks to @EricNewcomer, Riley Konsella and Brian Mulcrone for putting this together.
