BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with nearly $10 trillion worth of assets under management, launched a Bitcoin (BTC) ETF earlier this year. The financial giant’s entry into the cryptocurrency realm was deemed historic as it solidified BTC’s position as a solid asset.
In a recent report, BlackRock highlighted Bitcoin’s (BTC) unique attributes. The fund manager believes BTC is more than just for portfolio diversification. The report notes, “Bitcoin’s nature as a scarce, non-sovereign, decentralized global asset has caused some investors to consider it as a flight to safety option in times of fear and around certain geopolitically disruptive events.“
BlackRock says BTC is a haven in times of uncertainty but admits the asset has its share of risks.
