What else is known about the vacancy? The responsibilities will also include the expertise of blockchains, cloud providers, and trading platforms. Advice on “NFT and cryptocurrency-related matters and issues” should be conducted with an eye toward securities law. Experience in the non-fungible token, cryptocurrency and Web 3.0 space is desirable.

The company’s representatives noted that Disney plans to accelerate its development in the field of blockchain. They warned candidates that new projects usually rolled out “on an accelerated and aggressive timeline.”
