BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with $10 trillion in assets under management.

We researched the firm's crypto strategy, so you don’t have to.

Here's what we found:

1. DIGITAL ASSETS (ASSET CLASS)

The firm divides the crypto asset class into three different buckets:

1⃣ Cryptoassets (e.g. BTC)
2⃣ Stablecoins (e.g. USDC)
3⃣ Tokenized assets (e.g. BUIDL)

Strategy:

▪️ Owner of @iShares, Bitcoin Trust ($18B AUM)
▪️ Owner in @circle, the issuer of USDC ($32B supply)
▪️ Owner in @Securitize, the transfer agent for the BUIDL onchain money market fund ($300M AUM)

2. BITCOIN (ASSET)

The firm sees three unique advantages to BTC the asset:

1⃣ Internet-native (globally accessible)
2⃣ Cross-border (transactional efficiency)
3⃣ Capped supply (inflation hedge)

Strategy:

▪️ BlackRock serves customers across the globe and now, with BTC and IBIT, has a unique product to sell to its clients.
▪️ It’s likely that BlackRock will productize all major cryptoassets (ETH, SOL, etc.) in a similar manner.

3. BLOCKCHAIN (TECHNOLOGY)

The firm believes that blockchain technology can improve capital markets in several ways:

1⃣ 24/7 operational capital markets
2⃣ Improved transparency and investor access
3⃣ Lower fees and faster settlement

Strategy:

▪️ We believe that @BlackRock will eventually launch its own blockchain, and follow a similar playbook that Coinbase has used with @base.
▪️ This would allow BlackRock to concentrate the recordkeeping of its holdings across asset classes ($10T AUM) to a single, global, interoperable, and transparent ledger.Image
Great interview on the topic w/ @robbiemitchnick
