BlackRock CEO Larry Fink Bullish on Markets, Says Bitcoin Leverage Washed Out

What was said

"There is no question, as I said in earlier times, and over here, I was always worried about the leverage in Bitcoin and crypto. There was too much leverage players in it. That's why we had the washout. And I think there's more stability at these levels here. But no, we don't see that much implicit leverage for the scale of the capital markets today. The leverage is not as large. I mean, that doesn't mean there's not pockets. But no, I, as I said in my prepared remarks this morning, I'm very bullish on the markets over the next 12 months."

BlackRock CEO Larry Fink stated that Bitcoin's excessive leverage has been cleared from the market and expressed strong bullishness on markets for the next 12 months. The host noted that Fink introduced a private Bitcoin fund in August 2022 during the bear market before filing for a Bitcoin ETF, suggesting BlackRock accumulated at favorable prices. This differs from Jamie Dimon's statements which the host suggests should be inversely interpreted.
