Larry Fink, the CEO of BlackRock (NYSE:), has delivered pro-crypto remarks amid the asset manager applying to list a spot exchange-traded fund (ETF) in the United States.

Speaking on Fox Business on July 5, Fink said the role of cryptocurrency was largely “digitizing gold,” suggesting U.S. regulators consider how an ETF directly linked to Bitcoin (BTC) could democratize finance. During his time at BlackRock, Fink has often commented on major events affecting the crypto space, including the collapse of FTX in 2022 and rising interest in BTC.
