BlackRock: One of the Biggest Financial Firms in the World
One of the biggest financial firms in the world is Blackrock, a multinational investment management company with headquarters in New York. In 2021, BlackRock managed about $10 trillion in assets under management (AUM). The collaboration between Coinbase, BlackRock, and Aladdin is seen as a "milestone" for the company that manages digital assets. The Asset, Liability, Debt, and Derivative Investment Network, aka ALADDIN platform, is a trading and investment management platform created especially for BlackRock's institutional customers.
Blackrock and Coinbase Platform Integration
Tejpaul and Tusar wrote "BlackRock and Coinbase would continue to advance the platform integration" and would push out capabilities to interested clients in phases. A couple of weeks ago, Rick Rieder, chief investment officer (CIO) of global fixed income at BlackRock, said that cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC) are durable assets. BlackRock introduced a blockchain exchange-traded fund in April and the same month was designated "a key asset manager of USDC cash reserves." BlackRock's worldwide head of strategic ecosystem relationships, Joseph Chalom, observed that the firm's customers were more interested in digital currencies. The morning trading sessions on Thursday saw a more than 16% spike in COIN shares following the news of the agreement between Coinbase and BlackRock. COIN, meanwhile, has lost 72.46 percent of its value since reaching its all-time high. Goldman Sachs also lowered COIN to a sell rating at the end of June.
