BlackRock’s New Move Is Sending Shockwaves Through the Crypto Market

[Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins]( BlackRock’s New Move Is Sending Shockwaves Through the Crypto Market By Nomi Prins, Editor, Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins The Bitcoin (BTC) space is buzzing. BlackRock, the biggest asset manager in the world, just made a move that sent shockwaves through the crypto market. BlackRock is a heavyweight in the investment world. It manages a total of $9.1 trillion and has a global presence. In fact, BlackRock spans every region, industry, and type of asset out there… from stocks and bonds to real estate and commodities. And a few days ago, BlackRock filed to launch its own Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF). This is a huge step for Bitcoin. If the ETF is approved, it would allow retail investors to buy Bitcoin as shares of an ETF from an ordinary brokerage account. This would add a level of legitimacy and accessibility that the digital asset doesn’t currently have. It would also be a massive vote of confidence in Bitcoin from the world’s largest asset manager. So today and tomorrow, I want to pull back the curtain on this important development and show you what it means for Bitcoin. I’ll also reveal how you can take advantage of the news for your own benefit… Recommended Link [‘Perfectly Legal’ $28,544 Income Stream]( [image]( According to Brad Thomas, a former economic advisor to President Trump… Thanks to a little-known (but perfectly legal) IRS loophole… Regular Americans can collect up to $28,544 in payouts from a special investment that he calls: [“Amazon’s secret royalty program”]( And the best part is, there are: - NO age or income requirements… (It’s available to anyone 18 or older) - NO employment requirements… (You can be working part-time, full-time, or even be retired) - And you NEVER have to shop or sell a single product on Amazon… ([It only takes 5 minutes to set up!]( In fact, regular folks, like Neil P., Tom K., and Elaine T., are now collecting as much as $30,000 per year (or more!) in annual payouts from “royalty programs” just like this…* [[Watch Video] Get Started With “Amazon’s Secret Royalty Program” in 5 Minutes or Less…]( *Verified reviews. Past performance does not guarantee future results. -- Watch What They Do, Not What They Say BlackRock’s CEO, Larry Fink, has been openly skeptical about Bitcoin before… So this development represents a 180-degree shift of sentiment from the company. For instance, Fink infamously called Bitcoin an “index of money laundering” in 2017. [Chart] Source: CNBC In that sense, Fink is similar to JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. He called cryptocurrencies a fraud while his company was developing its own digital coin for payments – JPM Coin – and betting on the metaverse. As the saying goes: look at what they do, rather than what they say. Now, many Bitcoin enthusiasts aren’t thrilled that BlackRock has warmed up to Bitcoin. They already think BlackRock rules the world, and they’re not fans of the company to begin with. But whether you love or hate it, BlackRock knows how to run a business. They see where the future of money is headed, and they want a piece of the action. This is good news for at least those already owning Bitcoin. The ETF would make it a breeze for people to invest in Bitcoin through regular stock trading platforms, not just crypto exchanges. This could get more people into Bitcoin and push its price up. But there’s more to the story… Recommended Link [WARNING: Prepare for “Biden Shock” on July 26]( [image]( Just a few days from now, President Biden could go on national TV and shock the nation, just like President Nixon did in 1971. That’s when Nixon went on live TV and took the dollar off the gold standard... Triggering an 87% collapse in the value of the U.S. dollar. Just a few days from now, President Biden could do something similar. [Click here to see the details and learn how to prepare for the coming “Biden shock.”]( -- iShares Bitcoin Trust The BlackRock product, known as the "iShares Bitcoin Trust" in SEC filing documents, proposes to hold physical Bitcoin. According to the application, cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase would act as the custodian for the trust’s underlying Bitcoin. The filing says: The Shares are intended to constitute a simple means of making an investment similar to an investment in bitcoin rather than by acquiring, holding and trading bitcoin directly on a peer-to-peer or other basis or via a digital asset exchange. Here’s what this means in simpler terms… The ETF would closely follow the price of Bitcoin. It would also simplify the process and remove the challenges of investing in Bitcoin directly. Most importantly, it would all be backed by actual Bitcoin held by the Bitcoin Custodian on behalf of the Trust. Now, it’s worth noting that such Bitcoin ETFs already exist. There are several currently trading in Canada, like the Purpose Bitcoin ETF, which is the largest of the bunch. But you won’t find those Bitcoin ETFs in the United States. And it’s not because people haven’t been trying… Over the years, we have seen 30 attempts by different companies to launch Bitcoin ETFs. But none of them succeeded. VanEck, Invesco, Valkyrie, ARK, you name it, have all been rejected by the SEC. Recommended Link [Will YOU Turn In Your Cash?]( [image]( Will you turn in your cash? Soon, Americans may have a decision to make – Turn in your cash – or let it expire worthless. According to Dr. Nomi Prins, a pile of smoking-gun documents she’s unearthed, and patents prove we’re on the verge of a complete transformation of our money supply. She says: “The rules are about to change forever. If it plays out the way I expect, cash could become a target as more banks fail and run out of money.” Dr. Prins has recorded a full-length interview to explain the connection between cash and bank failures – and what it means for your money. What she has to say is controversial, but if you have more than $2,500 in an American bank or retirement fund – Nomi’s message is something you absolutely cannot afford to miss.

While there have been occasional incidents like hacks and scams, the existing Bitcoin ETFs haven’t faced any major issues. The SEC doesn’t seem to take that into account, though. The SEC has previously approved Bitcoin Futures ETFs. These don’t invest in the actual price of Bitcoin, but rather in Bitcoin futures contracts. The contracts are held on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). But getting approval for a Bitcoin spot ETF, which invests directly in actual Bitcoin, would be a much bigger deal. Here’s why… It would allow retail investors to buy Bitcoin as shares of an ETF from an ordinary brokerage account. It would also make it easier for institutional investors to hold BTC. Meaning, big players like pension funds would be able to get into Bitcoin in a simpler way. This would take its adoption to a whole new level. That’s why when the news broke about BlackRock’s filing, the market went wild. Bitcoin has gained nearly 25% in value, soaring as high as $31,458 last Friday. That’s the highest level since June 7, 2022. Although the market went up on the news, the road to approval is still a long way off. That’s because the SEC has shot down every previous attempt to launch the same type of fund. Tomorrow, I’ll go into the possibility of BlackRock’s ETF getting approval… why the company has an advantage over previous attempts… and how you can take advantage of this development. Stay tuned for more. Regards, [signature] Nomi Prins Editor, Inside Wall Street with Nomi Prins P.S. While BlackRock prepares to launch its new ETF, a development that would legitimize Bitcoin on a larger scale… The Fed and financial elites are gearing up to enact a transformation of our money. It would change the way we transact with our financial system – and the way our financial system transacts with us. In fact, it would mark the end of the dollar as we know it. That’s why I held an emergency briefing called [Countdown to Chaos]( last Wednesday, where I explained what the Fed exactly has in store for our financial future. I also revealed one little-known way you can position yourself to profit from the uncertainty that’s coming. It has the potential to deliver as much as 50x profits.

MAILBAG After last week’s essays about real estate and the dollar taking hits, a reader argues why she is actually bullish about real estate and the dollar… Good to know. Great insights. With inspections down for new homes in most key cities, I think there will be a real estate boom. There are too few rentals, and the middle class is being squeezed. I am betting interest rates will not go up appreciably because Biden will want to keep them low. I am bullish on the dollar. China, like you said, only represents 3% of lending, and Apple is in trouble, and the Chinese economy is not growing very much. Russia is tied up in Ukraine. NATO allies like the U.S. after the disastrous Trump years. I may be wrong, but the geopolitical situation favors the U.S. and the dollar. I worked at the White House for 30 years, and I will bet my pension on that. – Linda S. Do you agree with Linda that we will see a real estate boom? Why or why not?
