- Shape the narrative of crypto education, media, and research
- Join a company that's respected in the space and has the audience, platform, and reach to move markets

About the role
- The Editorial team is the beating heart of The Block. Our reporters and editors are constantly on the lookout for the most important breaking news stories that help our audience navigate the ever-changing crypto landscape. From industry-defining scoops to in-depth investigations, The Block's newsroom sets the standard for crypto journalism globally.
- 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. As banks, asset managers, exchanges, and institutional investors move further into crypto — through ETFs, tokenization, custody, trading desks, and treasury strategies — you will be the reporter who tells our readers what Wall Street is doing, why it matters, and what's coming next. 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.
What you'll do
- Report on Wall Street's engagement with digital assets, including banks, asset managers, hedge funds, market makers, exchanges, and other institutional players
- Break news and land industry-defining scoops before they are widely known
- Build and maintain a deep network of sources across trading desks, investment banks, asset management firms, and the institutional crypto ecosystem
- Collect, verify, and analyze newsworthy information, including market data, regulatory filings, and earnings reports
- Write and deliver clear, accurate news stories with our readers' perspective in mind, from quick-turn breaking news to in-depth features and investigations
- Attend industry events, conferences, and in-person meetings in New York to develop sources and surface story ideas
- Represent The Block on camera and on air — appearing on our podcasts and video content, participating in external media appearances, and moderating or speaking on panels at industry events
- 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
What We are Looking For
- 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
- Strong understanding of financial markets, instruments, and institutions — you can read a 10-K, parse an ETF filing, and explain a balance sheet
- Excellent news judgment and the ability to write quickly, clearly, and accurately under deadline pressure
- Comfort working in a fast-paced, demanding, 24/7 news environment
- 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
- Familiarity with on-chain data, blockchain tools, and crypto market structure is a plus
- Candidates must have the legal right to work in the United States without sponsorship
