About This Pathway
DAO / Digital Asset Operations is scoped as a restricted SkyBridge apprenticeship pathway. The decentralized finance and digital asset sector presents some of the most complex and rapidly evolving regulatory challenges in the financial services space — including SEC jurisdiction questions, state securities law, and emerging DAO governance frameworks.
When legal review is complete and a compliant pathway framework is established, this pathway would train apprentices in DAO governance support, digital asset operations, decentralized finance platform administration, and regulatory compliance for digital asset roles.
SkyBridge will not begin development of this pathway until all legal, regulatory, and licensing requirements have been reviewed and cleared by qualified legal counsel.
Important: This pathway is restricted pending legal review. It is not in active development and is not registered with the U.S. Department of Labor. Do not submit applications for enrollment. All details are preliminary and subject to change pending legal review.
Pathway Details
Why This Pathway Is Scoped

Complex Regulatory Landscape
This sector involves SEC jurisdiction questions, state securities law, and evolving DAO governance frameworks that require expert legal analysis before any program can be developed.
Legal Review First
SkyBridge will not develop this pathway until qualified legal counsel has reviewed and cleared the pathway design against all applicable federal and state regulations.
