Earlier this year, BlackRock launched a Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (IBIT), rapidly becoming one of the most successful ETF launches ever. The Bitcoin ETF already has over $21 billion in assets under management.
BlackRock CEO Larry Fink also recently changed his sceptical stance on Bitcoin, admitting he was "wrong" to dismiss it. The firm has steadily released research explaining Bitcoin's potential role for investors.
The new report explains that while volatile, Bitcoin is fundamentally detached from other asset classes over the long term. It argues Bitcoin's adoption depends on global concerns over monetary stability, geopolitics, fiscal policy, and political stability the inverse of traditional "risk assets."
"Bitcoin, as the first decentralized, non-sovereign monetary alternative to gain widespread global adoption, has no traditional counterparty risk, depends on no centralized system, and is not driven by any one country's fortunes," the report states.
As major traditional finance players like BlackRock increasingly embrace Bitcoin, its reputation and adoption will likely accelerate, bringing it further into the mainstream. BlackRock's continued pro-Bitcoin stance reflects growing acceptance by global financial institutions.
