Why BlackRock's Larry Fink Believes 'Everyone' Should Take Another Look At Bitcoin
BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) CEO Larry Fink was skeptical about the prospects of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) for years, but he remained open-minded and eventually came to believe it was a legitimate financial tool. Now he considers himself a "major believer."
BlackRock Inc （NYSE：BLK）首席執行官拉里·芬克多年來一直對比特幣（CRYPTO：BTC）持懷疑態度，但他始終保持開放心態，並最終相信它是一種合法的金融工具。現在他認爲自己是“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.
要了解的內容：週一，在CNBC的“街頭上的哇哇叫”上，芬克承認他多年來一直懷疑比特幣，但在學習和了解比特幣之後，他承認了自己以前的觀點是錯誤的。
Fink now considers bitcoin a legitimate financial instrument that offers potentially uncorrelated returns.
芬克現在認爲比特幣是一種合法的金融工具，可以提供潛在的不相關回報。
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月份推出以來，iShares比特幣信託基金（NASDAQ：IBIT）已成爲最大的現貨比特幣ETF，吸引了超過180億美元。
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告訴CNBC，比特幣是一種金融工具，當投資者“驚恐”時，它可能會更受關注。政治上的不確定性和不斷增長的政府債務是投資者想考慮比特幣的原因之一，他將其稱爲“數字黃金”。
"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."
“我確實相信每個人都需要關注它，”芬克說。“我堅信在投資組合中有比特幣的作用......我認爲它有很好的工業用途，很多人都錯過了這一點。”
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.
由於費用較競爭對手更低，而且BlackRock是全球最大的資產管理公司，因此BlackRock的IBIt已經大受歡迎。該公司還已經提交申請，可能會推出以太坊（CRYPTO：ETH）的ETF，這是繼比特幣之後市值第二大的加密貨幣。
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."
在芬克露面後，彭博高級ETF分析師埃裏克·巴爾楚納斯在X上發佈了一篇文章，指出了芬克全面支持比特幣作爲合法資產類別所帶來的潛在影響。
"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以及類似富達等傳統公司的買入，使得老年顧問們可以放心和自信地做出資產配置，”加爾楚納斯說，他還表示，認爲押注現貨比特幣ETF的失敗是“愚蠢”的舉動。
