Vanguard Said Set to Name Bitcoin-Friendly Ex-BlackRock Exec as CEO: WSJ
Powered by @unfolded- Vanguard is reportedly set to name Salim Ramji, the former BlackRock executive who oversaw the launch of the iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), as its new CEO.
- Ramji left BlackRock in January to pursue new leadership opportunities outside the firm.
- The move has sparked speculation that Vanguard, which has had a negative stance on bitcoin, may change its stance under Ramji's leadership.
- If confirmed, Ramji's appointment will be the first time Vanguard has hired a CEO from outside the company.
