Not billion, TRILLION.
“Coinbase and BlackRock have teamed up to give institutional investors greater access to cryptocurrencies.”
What does it mean?
It means that customers of BlackRock can directly, easily and flexibly buy/sell cryptocurrencies whenever they want.
Why is this a big deal?
Well BlackRock manages $10 trillion dollars worth of assets.
Coinbase is one of the biggest crypto exchanges and player in the world.
When two industry titans collide, or collaborate, markets will be moved.
Essentially, it means that big institution money is flowing into crypto.
Yep, even during a bear, winter market.
What happens when more money flows into any industry?
It spurs and stimulates growth, more demand, excitement and interest.
It is how industries are built, how economies get stronger.
It means that there is pent-up demand large enough for BlackRock to even commit to such a move.
It means that crypto has taken another step towards main street.
It is no longer the lonely, dark alleyway nobody wants to accidentally stumble into.
BlackRock making such a move sends a powerful signal to the rest of the financial institutions and corporations too.
It says that BlackRock, one of the biggest boys in the court, is confident in cryptocurrencies and supports it.
Who are BlackRock’s clients?
Official Institutions, central banks, sovereign wealth funds, multilateral entities, public pension schemes, government ministries and agencies, corporate pensions, foundations and endowments and family offices.
Even if they just allocate a 0.5% of their existing portfolio into crypto or BTC, can you imagine the waves it will create?
Watch as other start following in their footsteps pretty soon.
I know many of us are still skeptical about crypto given what is happening with NFTs, grifts, scams, crashes and rugpulls.
But just like life, not everything in crypto is bad.
There are useful cases for digital assets like Bitcoin and real world applications of blockchains.
Even the smartest, brightest and richest people in financial institutions like BlackRock supports crypto.
There must be something there.
Don’t sleep on it.
