BlackRock CEO admits it was a mistake to oppose bitcoin and cryptocurrencies

ChainCatcher reported that BlackRock CEO Larry Fink admitted at the New York Times DealBook Summit that his previous opposition to bitcoin and cryptocurrencies was "wrong." When asked by the host, "You called cryptocurrencies 'tools for money laundering and thieves' in 2017, but now BlackRock owns the largest spot bitcoin ETF. What happened?" Larry Fink responded, I have strong opinions, but that doesn't mean I can't be wrong. Through constant self-examination and meeting thousands of clients and government leaders every year, my thought process has continued to evolve, and my views have changed significantly. Now, BlackRock actively embraces bitcoin.
