About The Position

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.

Requirements

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

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
