Clients across the globe are talking about “the need for crypto,” said Larry Fink, CEO of asset management giant BlackRock (BLK).

Fink, however, did opine on the recent rally. “It’s an example of the pent-up interest in crypto,” he said. “We are hearing from clients around the world about the need for crypto.”
“I think the rally today is about a flight to quality, with all the issues around the Israeli war now, global terrorism,” he continued.
BlackRock, amongst other large financial institutions, is currently awaiting a decision from the SEC on whether it can issue a bitcoin spot ETF.
