A friend in the circle recently asked me a question: Has BlackRock really made Bitcoin a key allocation for 2025? I smiled and replied: It's not that simple.

BlackRock's actions at the New York summit are indeed worth paying attention to, but not in the way everyone understands. To be precise, this global asset management giant, managing $12.5 trillion in assets, is positioning Bitcoin alongside U.S. Treasuries and leading tech stocks as the three pillars of a modern investment portfolio. What does this signal mean? It indicates that Bitcoin has officially shifted from a marginal asset to a mainstream institutional asset.

Having been involved in the crypto space for so many years, this is the first time I’ve seen such a scene. A giant managing global wealth openly recognizing Bitcoin’s store of value function is like a sudden rewrite of the textbooks of traditional finance.

What is BlackRock’s real logic? They value Bitcoin’s low correlation with traditional assets. In the context of AI booms, geopolitical polarization, and energy structure adjustments, an asset that doesn’t fluctuate in sync with these factors plays a huge role in risk balancing within an investment portfolio. This is not hype, but a fundamental asset allocation logic.

To clarify, BlackRock is not saying that Bitcoin is the strongest track for 2025, but that it has been elevated to a strategic asset allocation level. These are two completely different concepts. One is betting on a single asset, and the other is incorporating it into a long-term diversified framework. For institutional investors, the latter has a deeper significance.

The low correlation really convinced me. I previously read a study on portfolio risk balancing, and Bitcoin's performance is indeed unique. But the question is, what is the actual allocation ratio of $12.5 trillion? If it's just symbolic, then there's no need to overinterpret it.

BlackRock's recent moves have indeed shifted the narrative, but to be honest, I've heard the risk balance argument quite a bit.

BlackRock's move indeed changes the game rules, but don't get caught up in the hype. Traditional major institutions finally recognize the value of BTC. What does this mean? Think about it. The point about low correlation is correct; it can truly save your investment portfolio. It's just an allocation, not saying Bitcoin is about to take off. Be clear about that. Wait, what's with this logic... it’s just insurance, right? This is exactly what we've been wanting to hear from major institutions. NGL, the recognition of 12.5 trillion might be even more bullish than a bull market. So, when will it be our turn as ordinary people to join the feast? Now institutions also have to pick sides. Interesting. It seems conservative, but actually it's a way of being bullish on BTC. Think about it in reverse.

Low correlation is indeed the key... but I feel it has been overinterpreted by public opinion; BlackRock is just standard risk balancing operation.

BlackRock's move is actually just recognizing the status of BTC, not a signal of crazy speculation. --- After all this, it's just diversified allocation, not saying Bitcoin is the strongest. --- I have to admit the low correlation; the crypto world is finally being taken seriously by mainstream finance. --- Wait, how much BTC does BlackRock actually hold? Just talk and no action? --- It's really just institutions paving the way, preparing for bigger moves later. --- Sounds good, but we still need to see how they actually buy with real money. --- The logic makes sense, but don't get carried away; it still depends on their actual allocation ratio.

Damn, BlackRock really just gave the crypto world a proper name this time. No longer seen as gamblers. Wait, this logic of low correlation feels a bit虚假 to me. It sounds like risk balancing, but actually they just want a piece of the pie. Haha, rewriting the finance textbooks—how many years will that take to get into? Are you serious? With operations at the level of 12.5 trillion USD, how can retail investors compete? Bitcoin entering institutional portfolios—this time it might really be different. It's not speculation; it's genuine demand. Exactly, the difference between allocation and speculation is huge. One is long-term, the other is short-term gambling. The bad news is that more people might get割韭菜... Now those who say Bitcoin is a bubble have no room to talk, institutions have already认可了.
