In this episode, we explore BlackRock's intriguing move towards launching a Spot bitcoin ETF. As the world's largest money manager, BlackRock's decision has raised eyebrows and sparked conversations across the financial sector. Larry Fink, BlackRock's CEO, believes in Bitcoin's potential to revolutionize the financial system, even suggesting it as a more robust hedge against inflation than gold

An internal paper from BlackRock suggests a staggering 85% portfolio allocation to Bitcoin, a figure that challenges traditional investment strategies. While this number may seem audacious, it underscores the growing importance and acceptance of digital assets in today's investment landscape. Alongside this, we also touch on the upcoming webinar on October 24th, shedding light on the resurgence of bonds in the current high-interest-rate environment.
