The Block's team spans 5 continents and 15+ time zones, covering the global cryptocurrency space 24/7. At The Block, we see digital assets as a ubiquitous part of the future. As this space continues to evolve, we view our role as the trusted moderator and authoritative voice for those who invest in, work with, make decisions about, or seek to understand digital assets. The Block delivers deep insight into how the emerging digital assets sector interacts with traditional finance, technology, governments, and markets.

• We are looking for a Wall Street Reporter based in the greater New York city area to cover the rapidly deepening intersection of traditional finance and digital assets.

This role requires being on the ground in New York city: meeting sources in person, attending industry events, and building the kind of relationships that generate exclusive stories.

• →Collaborate with editors and fellow reporters across time zones to shape and expand The Block's markets and institutional coverage
• →Pitch timely, relevant, and creative story ideas that align with The Block's voice

• Proven experience as a reporter covering Wall Street, financial markets, banking, or institutional finance
• Experience reporting on cryptocurrency and digital assets strongly preferred
• A track record of breaking news and cultivating sources in the financial industry

• Willingness and comfort appearing on camera — including podcasts, video segments, and external media appearances — with strong verbal communication and presentation skills; prior broadcast or podcast experience is a plus
