Fink said the same wallet technology already used for payments could also let people hold long-term investments more easily.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He urged regulators to move faster on rules that connect traditional finance with digital markets, while keeping buyer protections, counterparty standards and identity checks in place.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-blackrock-s-blockchain-exposure\">BlackRock\u2019s Blockchain Exposure<\/h2>\n<p>Fink tied that argument to BlackRock\u2019s own balance sheet. He said the firm now oversees about US$150 billion (AU$214.5 billion) in digital-asset-linked businesses and products.<\/p>\n<p>Its tokenised Treasury fund, BUIDL, has reached about US$2.85 billion (AU$4.1 billion) in assets, making it the largest tokenised fund in the market. Launched on Ethereum in 2024 through Securitize, the fund became tradable on Uniswap for pre-qualified investors in February 2026, alongside a BlackRock investment in UNI.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related: <\/strong><strong>Bitcoin\u2019s \u2018Muted\u2019 Cycle: Why US$100K Became the Turning Point<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BlackRock also manages US$65 billion (AU$93 billion) in stablecoin reserves and nearly US$80 billion (AU$114.4 billion) in digital asset exchange-traded products, including the largest Bitcoin ETF. Fink said those businesses were built in only a few years, but now it looks like he\u2019s taking a more cautious stance on these sorts of financial vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>The letter praised decentralised finance for making markets faster, cheaper and more transparent, but also reads that wider Bitcoin adoption could weaken the dollar\u2019s position if investors begin treating the cryptocurrency as a safer store of value. He linked that risk to rising US debt.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Blackrock,Blockchain,Tokenisation#BlackRocks #Larry #Fink #Doubles #Tokenisation #Key #Mass #Investment #Access1774346556<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BlackRock Chairman and CEO Larry Fink devoted a major section of his 2026 annual letter to championing tokenisation, calling it the key to making investing \u201cas easy as sending a payment\u201d and comparing its current stage to the internet in 1996.
