While speaking to CNBC, BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated he is not concerned about excessive leverage in Bitcoin and the cryptocurrency market. Fink further declared he is very bullish on the next 12 months of the market.
BlackRock is the world’s largest asset manager with approximately $15 trillion in assets under management. The company entered the cryptocurrency sector in 2024 after launching its IBIT Bitcoin ETF, propelling the sector into the financial mainstream.
According to Farside Investors, BlackRock has purchased more than $200 million worth of Bitcoin in the last two days. The purchase aligns with BTC’s recent recovery, which reclaimed the $64,000 price level before entering a sideways trajectory.
BlackRock’s purchase could be fueled by positive inflation data in the US. CPI figures fell by 0.4% in June, the biggest drop since April 2020.
Given Fink’s bullish statement and the inflation dip, Bitcoin could continue its price rebound. However, the US-Iran conflict has worried investors and economists, with oil prices already surging. July CPI figures could come in hotter than June’s, potentially leading to a Federal Reserve interest rate hike and a dip in investor confidence.
