E-commerce Giant Coupang Moves to Build Stablecoin Legal Team

Coupang Pay has posted two legal job listings that place stablecoin issuance at the center of the role, signaling a step up in the company’s digital asset plans. The fintech arm is recruiting in-house counsel with expertise in stablecoins as it builds a legal team to support payments and virtual asset activity.

One listing targets junior attorneys within two years of qualification while the other seeks senior or principal-level counsel with at least three years’ experience. Both roles cover domestic fintech payments, stablecoin and virtual asset regulation, and global payment partnerships; the senior position also requires turning new regulatory domains into business opportunities.

Coupang described the team as designing new business models while maintaining regulatory compliance, aligning legal work with product strategy rather than traditional compliance alone.
