Larry Fink Calls On SEC To Approve Tokenization Of Bonds
In a CNBC interview, BlackRock’s CEO Larry Fink called on the US SEC to approve the tokenization of bonds and stocks. He added that this move will simplify things and make things easier for institutions and investors.
Fink gave an example of how tokenization will help his company save costs. They will no longer have to vote on a proxy vote again because every investor will be notified through the tokenization of equities.
He added that this move will also save costs for investors and potential ones since it will bring down the cost of owning these stocks and bonds. In line with this, he affirmed that these are the types of financial reforms that the market needs.
Larry Fink’s call for the tokenization of bonds and stocks came as he admitted that he is a “huge believer” in crypto, blockchain technology, and tokenization.
It is worth mentioning that BlackRock already has a tokenized market fund called BUIDL. Built on the Ethereum network, it is the largest tokenized money fund on a public blockchain, with a market cap of just over $600 million.
Meanwhile, the BlackRock CEO’s latest comment comes a day after he predicted that the Bitcoin price could hit $700,000 if sovereign wealth funds allocate 2%-5% of their portfolios to the flagship crypto.
Bloomberg Analyst Questions Use Of Tokenization
Following Larry Fink’s call for the tokenization of stock and bonds, Bloomberg analyst Eric Balchunas questioned if this move was indeed necessary. He explained how he could already buy these assets for no fee and with no friction, with “anti-fragile regulatory safeguards to boot.” In line with this, he suggested that tokenization doesn’t in any way improve the experience.
Tokenization grants investors self-custody over their assets. However, Balchunas remarked that no one really cares about self-custody as investors want to outsource the management of their assets, especially for no fee. He added the fact that these asset managers are regulated by the SEC, so investors are well protected.
Despite Balchunas’ reservations about tokenizing bonds and stocks, the SEC could approve this move. Donald Trump recently named pro-crypto Mark Uyeda as the acting SEC Chair, who could be more open to Larry Fink’s proposal, unlike the previous Chair, Gary Gensler.

#CryptoSurge2025 The cryptocurrency market has experienced a significant surge in 2025, influenced by various factors, including political developments and market dynamics.

Bitcoin’s Performance

Bitcoin (BTC) has reached new heights, currently trading at $104,743.00. This upward trend is attributed to expectations of favorable regulatory changes under President Donald Trump’s administration, which is anticipated to reduce digital-asset regulations and introduce policies supportive of the crypto industry. 

Altcoins and Market Diversification

Altcoins, or alternative cryptocurrencies to Bitcoin, are also experiencing notable gains. Ethereum (ETH) is trading at $3,279.07, and Solana (SOL) at $254.02. The four-year Bitcoin halving cycle, which reduces the rate of new coin creation, has historically driven price increases. Following such events, demand often outpaces supply, leading to price surges. As Bitcoin holders realize profits, some of these gains flow into altcoins, contributing to their appreciation. 

Political Influence on the Crypto Market

President Trump’s second term is expected to have a substantial impact on the cryptocurrency landscape. Plans to implement over 100 executive orders include several focused on Bitcoin and the digital asset industry, aiming to create a more supportive environment for crypto assets.  Additionally, the appointment of crypto-friendly individuals to key regulatory positions, such as Paul Atkins as SEC Chair, is anticipated to foster a more favorable regulatory climate. 

Market Outlook

Analysts predict a bullish trajectory for Bitcoin, with forecasts suggesting prices could exceed $150,000 in the first half of the year and potentially reach $185,000 by the end of 2025. This optimism is fueled by increased adoption from institutions, corporations, and nation-states.  However, investors are advised to exercise caution due to the inherent volatility of digital assets. While the current market trends are promising, the crypto market remains susceptible to rapid changes influenced by regulatory decisions, technological advancements, and macroeconomic factors.
