BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Sees Increasing Demand for Crypto Among Gold Investors

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has noted an increase in demand for cryptocurrency among gold investors. In an interview with CNBC, Fink stated that more and more gold investors have been asking about the role of crypto over the past five years, and that exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could democratize access to cryptocurrency in the same way they have with gold.

Fink also highlighted the potential of an international crypto product to transcend the depreciation of the US dollar. BlackRock recently filed an application to list a spot bitcoin ETF, which could be approved by the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) due to a surveillance-sharing agreement.

  • QCP: BTC's path to $100,000 has stalled, and ETH implied volatility has turned to put options

    QCP Capital has published an analysis indicating that the recent drop in the price of Bitcoin has resulted in long liquidations exceeding $430 million. This drop coincides with the end of five consecutive days of net inflows for spot ETFs, which recorded a outflow of $438 million on Monday, while MicroStrategy fell by 4.4%. With the US holiday approaching and no immediate catalyst to push prices higher, BTC's path towards $100,000 has stalled. In addition, the implied volatility of ETH has turned to bearish options rather than bullish options, and market concerns about downside risks may intensify, especially with the release of the FOMC meeting minutes and PCE data. However, in the long run, this market decline is not an excessive correction. Bitcoin has only retreated to last week's level. Since Trump's election, the market has become extremely overbought and leveraged, so a pause is inevitable.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."
