In a recent interview with CNBC, Larry Fink restated his belief in the crypto market leader as the asset makes a rebound pointing to benefits amid macroeconomic uncertainties. According to him, Bitcoin is a legitimate financial instrument and an asset class that users invest in with fear of traditional economic woes.
“It is a legitimate financial instrument, that allows you to have non-correlated type of returns, an instrument that you invest in when you’re more frightened of, an instrument when you believe that countries are debasing their currencies in excess deficits… I believe we have countries where you’re frightened of your everyday existence and an opportunity to invest in something outside your country’s control.”
