TLDR

  • BlackRock CEO Larry Fink says the company plans to pursue a larger role in tokenization over the coming years
  • The asset manager currently holds $104 billion in crypto assets, representing 1% of its $13.5 trillion portfolio
  • Fink believes tokenization can help onboard crypto investors into traditional retirement products through digitized ETFs
  • BlackRock operates the largest tokenized money market fund, BUIDL, worth $2.8 billion across multiple blockchains
  • The asset tokenization market is projected to grow from $2 trillion in 2025 to over $13 trillion by 2030

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink announced during the company’s earnings call Tuesday that the asset management giant plans to take a larger role in tokenization. Teams across the firm are exploring how to use the technology to make markets more efficient and accessible.

Fink told CNBC that tokenizing traditional financial assets represents the next major wave of opportunity for BlackRock over the coming decades. The company manages $13.5 trillion in total assets. Its crypto holdings stand at $104 billion.

The CEO explained that tokenizing ETFs could create a bridge between crypto investors and traditional investment products. He said digitized ETFs would allow people who start investing through crypto to access long-term retirement products. This approach keeps investors within the digital ecosystem while expanding their portfolio options.

BlackRock already operates in the tokenization space. The company launched the BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) in March 2024. The tokenized money market fund has grown to $2.8 billion, making it the largest of its kind.

BUIDL operates across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Solana and Avalanche. BlackRock partnered with Securitize to issue the fund. The asset manager led Securitize’s $47 million fundraising round last year.

Growth Projections for Digital Assets

Fink stated he believes the digital asset market will grow substantially from its current $4.5 trillion size. Market research firm Mordor Intelligence projects the asset tokenization market will reach over $13 trillion by 2030. The market is currently valued at over $2 trillion in 2025.

BlackRock reported $61 million in revenue from its digital asset products during the third quarter. This represents a small fraction of the company’s total revenue of $6.5 billion. The firm’s assets under management grew to $13.4 trillion in Q3, up from $11.4 trillion the previous year.

BlackRock’s Crypto Market Position

The asset manager operates the largest spot bitcoin ETF in the United States with $93 billion in assets under management. Its spot ether ETF holds $17 billion in assets. BlackRock was among the first companies to launch these products in the U.S. market.

During his CNBC interview, Fink acknowledged his past criticism. He said his stance shifted over time because he continues to grow and learn. The CEO now compares crypto’s role in a portfolio to gold.

In a recent CBS 60 Minutes interview, Fink described crypto as an alternative asset for diversification. He said it has a role similar to gold in investor portfolios. However, he stated it should not represent a large portion of holdings.

Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America

The post Disney Pockets $2.2 Billion For Filming Outside America appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Disney has made $2.2 billion from filming productions like ‘Avengers: Endgame’ in the U.K. ©Marvel Studios 2018 Disney has been handed $2.2 billion by the government of the United Kingdom over the past 15 years in return for filming movies and streaming shows in the country according to analysis of more than 400 company filings Disney is believed to be the biggest single beneficiary of the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) in the U.K. which gives studios a cash reimbursement of up to 25.5% of the money they spend there. The generous fiscal incentives have attracted all of the major Hollywood studios to the U.K. and the country has reeled in the returns from it. Data from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows that foreign studios contributed around 87% of the $2.2 billion (£1.6 billion) spent on making films in the U.K. last year. It is a 7.6% increase on the sum spent in 2019 and is in stark contrast to the picture in the United States. According to permit issuing office FilmLA, the number of on-location shooting days in Los Angeles fell 35.7% from 2019 to 2024 making it the second-least productive year since 1995 aside from 2020 when it was the height of the pandemic. The outlook hasn’t improved since then with FilmLA’s latest data showing that between April and June this year there was a 6.2% drop in shooting days on the same period a year ago. It followed a 22.4% decline in the first quarter with FilmLA noting that “each drop reflected the impact of global production cutbacks and California’s ongoing loss of work to rival territories.” The one-two punch of the pandemic followed by the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strikes put Hollywood on the ropes just as the U.K. began drafting a plan to improve its fiscal incentives…
