Why BlackRock's Larry Fink Believes 'Everyone' Should Take Another Look At Bitcoin

BlackRock Inc （NYSE：BLK）首席执行官拉里·芬克多年来一直对比特币（CRYPTO：BTC）持怀疑态度，但他始终保持开放心态，并最终相信它是一种合法的金融工具。现在他认为自己是“主要信奉者”。
What To Know: On Monday on CNBC's "Squawk On The Street," Fink admitted he had been a skeptic of bitcoin for years, but after studying and learning about it, he acknowledged his previous opinion was wrong.
要了解的内容：周一，在CNBC的“街头上的哇哇叫”上，芬克承认他多年来一直怀疑比特币，但在学习和了解比特币之后，他承认了自己以前的观点是错误的。

IShares Bitcoin Trust (NASDAQ:IBIT) has grown to become the biggest spot bitcoin ETF, bringing in more than $18 billion since its launch in January.
自1月份推出以来，iShares比特币信托基金（NASDAQ：IBIT）已成为最大的现货比特币ETF，吸引了超过180亿美元。
The BlackRock CEO told CNBC that bitcoin is a financial instrument that may get more attention when investors are "frightened." Political uncertainty and rising government debt are a couple of reasons investors may want to consider bitcoin, he said, calling it "digital gold."
BlackRock CEO告诉CNBC，比特币是一种金融工具，当投资者“惊恐”时，它可能会更受关注。政治上的不确定性和不断增长的政府债务是投资者想考虑比特币的原因之一，他将其称为“数字黄金”。
"I do believe there's a real need for everyone to look at it," Fink said. "I'm a major believer that there's a role for bitcoin in portfolios ... I think there's a great industrial use for it, and I think a lot of people are missing that."
“我确实相信每个人都需要关注它，”芬克说。“我坚信在投资组合中有比特币的作用......我认为它有很好的工业用途，很多人都错过了这一点。”
BlackRock's IBIT has soared in popularity, likely due to its lower fees compared to competitors and the fact that BlackRock is the world's largest money manager. The firm has also filed to potentially launch an ETF for Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), the world's second-largest cryptocurrency by market cap after bitcoin.
由于费用较竞争对手更低，而且BlackRock是全球最大的资产管理公司，因此BlackRock的IBIt已经大受欢迎。该公司还已经提交申请，可能会推出以太坊（CRYPTO：ETH）的ETF，这是继比特币之后市值第二大的加密货币。
In a post on X following Fink's appearance, Bloomberg Senior ETF analyst Eric Balchunas noted the potential impact of Fink giving "full throated endorsements of bitcoin as a legit asset class."
在芬克露面后，彭博高级ETF分析师埃里克·巴尔楚纳斯在X上发布了一篇文章，指出了芬克全面支持比特币作为合法资产类别所带来的潜在影响。
"Buy in from BlackRock – as well as other legacy firms like Fidelity – gives boomer advisors comfort and cover to make the allocation," Balchunas said, adding that he believes betting against the success of spot bitcoin ETFs is a "dumb" move.
“BlackRock以及类似富达等传统公司的买入，使得老年顾问们可以放心和自信地做出资产配置，”加尔楚纳斯说，他还表示，认为押注现货比特币ETF的失败是“愚蠢”的举动。
