Larry Fink didn’t just build the world’s largest investment firm; he’s now trying to rewire how money moves entirely. BlackRock manages roughly $14 trillion in assets and currently holds around $60 billion in Bitcoin, making their blockchain push impossible to ignore.
They built a product called BUIDL, a tokenized fund that started with U.S. Treasuries and turned a days-long settlement process into something instant, growing to $2.5 billion and becoming the largest tokenized asset in the world.
From there, BlackRock expanded into corporate bonds, stablecoins, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, with Fink publicly stating that stocks, real estate, and commodities will all become tokenized products. His argument is simple: the internet didn’t replace information, it made it more accessible, and he believes blockchain will do the exact same thing for Wall Street.
