Bitcoin price stabilises as BlackRock CEO labels crypto as ‘revolutionary’

By Darren Parkin

There’s no ignoring Larry Fink, the CEO of the biggest asset management company in the world, when he goes on Fox News and calls Bitcoin a revolutionary technology.

“Bitcoin is an international asset, it’s not based on any one currency and so it can represent an asset that people can [invest in] as an alternative,” he said yesterday.

BlackRock’s revised application for a spot BTC ETF is still under review at the SEC.

Bitcoin remains steady around $30,130 this morning, largely flat in the last 24 hours, while Ethereum’s Ether was in the same boat. Other large cap cryptocurrencies are trading in a similar pattern. Bitcoin Cash continues to rally, adding 8% to its price in the last day.

Crypto and stock markets didn’t move much following the Fed’s minutes yesterday, even though all officials agreed in the June meeting that more rate hikes lie in store.
