Bitcoin & Crypto Seen as Gold-Like Assets

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager with over $12 trillion AUM, has once again voiced support for Bitcoin and crypto. In his latest statement, Fink said that Bitcoin and digital assets now serve a similar role to gold — acting as alternative investments that provide diversification and inflation protection.

This perspective from the head of one of the most powerful financial institutions further solidifies the position of crypto in mainstream finance. Fink’s statement aligns with BlackRock’s growing involvement in the sector, including its Bitcoin ETF and exploration of tokenized assets.

Institutional Confidence Keeps Rising

Larry Fink’s endorsement isn’t new — he has gradually shifted from skepticism to advocacy in recent years. What’s notable now is the timing and tone:

It comes as Bitcoin ETFs gain popularity
BlackRock continues to expand digital asset offerings
More institutions are viewing crypto as strategic hedges and long-term stores of value

Fink’s comparison of crypto to gold suggests that Bitcoin is maturing from a speculative asset into a recognized financial instrument — one that can sit alongside traditional inflation hedges in diversified portfolios.

What This Signals for the Market

Fink’s statement could influence other institutional players still on the sidelines. His words help frame crypto as complementary, not competitive, to existing financial instruments.

Investors and analysts should now watch for:

Further ETF inflows following BlackRock’s BTC ETF launch
Increased focus on Ethereum and tokenized assets
Broader institutional campaigns for regulatory clarity

This shift in tone from Wall Street’s top names is not just symbolic — it’s setting the stage for mainstream crypto integration in global asset management.

After the US October CPI exceeded expectations, Goldman Sachs and Nomura added a forecast for an interest rate hike in March next year, while Deutsche Bank included a forecast for a rate hike in January next year. Currently, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike in December, with a 13% probability for a 50 basis point hike. On Wednesday, the US Treasury spot market was closed, but Treasury futures continued to fall, with corresponding yields rising by about 2 to 4 basis points, and spot gold came under pressure, dropping by 1.1%.

No Need to Worry About the Cooling Down of AI Data Center Construction? The US Import Boom Is Unlikely to Subside in the Short Term, Real Impact May Come in 2029

It takes an average of 4.8 years from finalizing investment to starting construction of a data center project, and an additional 2.6 years from construction start to becoming operational. Servers usually cannot be installed until after the building structure and racks are completed. For trade partners such as Taiwan (China), South Korea, and Mexico who rely on US data center supply chain demand, the inertia in construction timelines provides at least a one- to two-year buffer for future exports.

Federal Reserve Major Debate: When Should the Tenure of “Number Three” Williams End?

The main point of contention is whether Williams should step down in June 2028, upon completing a full 10-year term, or in June 2027, when he reaches the mandatory retirement age of 65. Analysts point out that the Federal Reserve Board holds ultimate discretion; if he leaves early, Fed Chair Waller would be able to assert greater control over the appointment to this critical position. However, forcing Williams to shorten his term could easily be interpreted as political manipulation. Williams himself is expected to serve until June 2028.
