This meeting reflects a strong institutional interest from BlackRock to drive the integration of digital assets into the traditional financial system (TradFi).
BlackRock has successfully launched the Bitcoin ETF (IBIT) and Ethereum ETF (ETHA), as well as managing the tokenized BUIDL fund, which is now valued at over $1.7 billion.
BlackRock sees great potential in digital assets, particularly for enhancing market efficiency and democratizing investment access.
CEO Larry Fink even referred to tokenization as a "revolution" for investment, although security challenges still pose obstacles.
