Bitcoin hit a record high near $74,000 in mid-March amid a surge of interest from new spot exchange-traded funds but its price has dropped since then.
On this week's episode of Yahoo Finance Future Focus, our host Brian McGleenon speaks with Zodia Markets Ireland Chair Michael Walsh, discussing BlackRock's market-leading position in the tokenisation of real-world assets on blockchains. Walsh highlighted BlackRock's advancements to date, noting their spot bitcoin exchange-traded funs (ETF) inflows, and a dollar-denominated US Treasury Fund tokenised on the Ethereum blockchain, which saw nearly a billion dollars in immediate inflows post-tokenisation. Walsh maintains the developments positions BlackRock as having first-mover advantage in the burgeoning tokenisation sector. The approval of BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust by the SEC in January marked a pivotal moment, with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink predicting that ETFs are just the beginning of a technological revolution, ultimately leading to the tokenisation of all financial assets.
