Financial Association News on October 15th (Editor: Zhou Ziyi) Larry Fink, Chairman and CEO of Blackrock, the world's largest asset management company, recently emphasized the increasing legitimacy of bitcoin, positioning it as an alternative to gold and other csi commodity equity index.
During Blackrock's 2024 third-quarter earnings conference call, Fink presented two sets of data: The Blackrock iShares Ethereum Trust Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) attracted over $1 billion in net inflows within two months of its listing, while the iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF grew to $23 billion in size in the first nine months of this year.
He pointed out that these products align with Blackrock's broader goal of providing a more convenient and affordable investment platform for global investors.
Fink expressed support for bitcoin as a legitimate investment vehicle and emphasized, 'I believe the utilization of assets will increasingly become a reality on a global scale. We consider bitcoin itself as a type of asset, serving as an alternative to gold and other csi commodity equity index.'
At the same time, Fink also mentioned that Blackrock will continue to explore new product ideas. Fink's bold stance on bitcoin is in stark contrast to his skeptical attitude in previous years.
When asked about the potential impact of the friendly attitude of US authorities towards cryptos, Fink stated that regulatory reforms may bring new opportunities beyond Blackrock's ETFs and custody services. However, Fink also downplayed the influence of future political changes on the digital asset space, believing that market growth will be more driven by the wide acceptance of these assets rather than by regulation.
Fink further discussed the factors influencing the growth of digital assets, emphasizing the importance of transparency, liquidity, and analysis in market expansion over regulatory intervention.
Comparing with the evolution of other financial markets, he pointed out, "I really don't believe this is the role of regulation, I think this is the role of liquidity and transparency."
He believes that, like the mortgage market and the high-yield market, the digital asset market will expand with the emergence of better analysis and data.
