Larry Fink claim now for Trump: Bitcoin supporter could be Treasury Secretary
It was also a matter of curiosity who Donald Trump, who was walking step by step to the US presidency, would choose as the country's Treasury Secretary. The last name put forward after the Jamie Dimon allegations is Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest fund management company, with 10 trillion dollars...
First, Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, one of the largest investment banks in the world, and now Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world's largest fund management company with an asset of 10 trillion dollars... In the USA, it is claimed that Donald Trump will appoint one of these two names as the Treasury Secretary if he wins the presidential race.
After the name Jamie Dimon, which was put forward in the past weeks, the New York Post put forward the name Larry Fink today. The paper also wrote that Trump and Larry Fink's past-based acquaintance was also influential in this election.
When Trump was president in 2017, he hosted the known, famous businessmen of the USA at the White House and said to Fink, "Larry did a good job for me. He managed my money and brought me really good earnings,” he said.
Fink couldn't finish praising Bitcoin
Fink, who left his anti-bitcoin in the past years in 2023, said in a program he attended a few days ago, "I used to be anti-Bitcoin in a way that I was overconfident, but I researched, studied my lesson and realized that I was wrong. Bitcoin is an asset that is by your side when you start to lose hope, not when you are hopeful,” he said.
It is known that Fink also attaches great importance to tokenization. BlackRock also has a tokenization fund called BUIDL. BlackRock first applied for a Bitcoin spot ETF in June last year.
Unlike Fink, Jamie Dimon is completely against Bitcoin and crptocurrencies. "If I had the power, I would have banned all cryptocurrencies," Dimon said at the Congressional Financial Services Committee meeting he attended a while ago.
Donald Trump, who gives great support to cryptocurrencies, will attend the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, USA this week and give a speech here. It is also claimed that Trump will make a "strategic reserve asset" for Bitcoin here.
