BlackRock changes stance
BlockRock’s CEO Fink has shifted his views on bitcoin and the blockchain space since 2017. Previously, he called bitcoin an “index of money laundering.”
In June 2023 BlackRock applied to a spot bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). The application was granted, and the fund is currently generating some of the highest volumes in the whole ETF industry.
Currently, Fink and BlackRock want to tokenise financial assets on ethereum.
