Walmart is looking for a specialist in cryptocurrency

The world's largest wholesale and retail chain Walmart will hire a head of cryptocurrency developmentproduct. This was posted on Walmart's LinkedIn profile on Sunday.

The company needs a “visionary leader” to help it strategize in the digital asset space.

“You will be responsible for the development of the strategy fordigital currencies and a product roadmap, says the vacancy text. “As an expert in digital currencies / cryptocurrencies and blockchain-related technologies, you will determine the direction of the product and the roadmap.”

In addition, the employee will have to "identify cryptocurrency-related investment and collaboration opportunities."

Earlier, information appeared on the network thatAmazon is preparing to start accepting bitcoin and will release its own digital token. Subsequently, the company denied these claims, despite the fact that it leaves a vacancy for a similar plan open.

Anyway, bitcoin resumed its rally on Sunday evening and this early morning again approached the $ 48,000 level. Against the backdrop of Amazon's supposed plans, the first cryptocurrency was also growing.

Walmart filed a patent application two years ago forstablecoin, similar in structure to Facebook's announced Libra (now Diem). This year the company opened a new fintech division called Hazel. In the early 2000s, she unsuccessfully tried to obtain a banking license in the United States, but, like many other large firms, recently has again shown interest in creating her own financial products.
