The CEO of BlackRock, Larry Fink, widely acknowledged as a crucial cog in the machinery of American capitalism, recently professed his support for Bitcoin (BTC) in a conversation with Fox Business. Fink's endorsement comes in the midst of an escalating battle for approval of spot BTC Exchange Traded Funds (ETF), as more corporations press the US SEC for their consent.
Fink, the helmsman of the globe's most colossal asset management entity, made a striking case for Bitcoin, hailing it as a globally recognized asset and a digital avatar of gold. He advocated that investors harness BTC to counter inflation, veering from the conventional use of gold and stressing that it offers a shield against currency depreciation.
While expounding on Bitcoin's global stature, Fink underscored its inherent value, paralleling it to his company, BlackRock, which he posits as a beacon of hope. By underscoring Bitcoin as a safe haven akin to gold and various country's currencies, and simultaneously positioning BlackRock as a pivot of hope, Fink managed to harmonize his organization's objectives with the flagship crypto.
Fink utilized his Fox Business interview to champion spot Bitcoin ETF approvals as multiple traditional finance (TradFi) entities vie for the US SEC's sanction. Fink implored the SEC to perceive spot ETFs as an avenue to level the playing field in the cryptocurrency arena.
A glimpse into Valkyrie's spot Bitcoin ETF filing further highlights Fink's appeal, stating that the shares offer a budget-friendly and accessible means to invest in Bitcoin, representing fractional and undivided beneficial interest and ownership of the Trust.
Moreover, Fink pushed for Bitcoin adoption as a buffer against national issues. His endorsement follows the latest banking crisis in the US, which saw a sharp decline in regional bank stocks, triggering trading suspensions.
