BlackRock CEO “Bitcoin is digitized gold” (Attention: ★★★★☆)

Fink, CEO of US asset management giant BlackRock, which recently launched a physical Bitcoin ETF, commented on Bitcoin and ETFs on the Fox Business program.

Fink, a former Bitcoin skeptic, said, “I believe that if we can proceed with the tokenization of assets and securities, as Bitcoin does, we can revolutionize finance.” Investing in gold not as a hedge, but as a hedge against serious problems in some country, or against the devaluation of your own currency, wherever you are, Bitcoin is an international asset. Yes, it is not based on any currency,” he commented on Bitcoin’s independence.

“BlackRock has a good track record with regulators and has worked hard to consider all issues with respect to any application,” he added, adding that “We are currently working closely with regulators.” I hope the application will be approved.”

Fink CEO does not appear to own Bitcoin.
