BlackRock analysts have highlighted the transformation of the financial system under the influence of cryptocurrencies and the rising US national debt. According to the company’s report<\/a>, stablecoins have become a bridge between digital and traditional economies.<\/p>\n

Experts emphasized that stablecoins<\/a> are no longer merely tools for crypto trading. By November 2025, the market volume exceeded $250 billion. The asset is increasingly used for cross-border transfers and everyday payments.<\/p>\n

The report mentions the adoption of the GENIUS Act<\/a> in the US, which established the first regulatory framework for payment stablecoins. Issuers were allowed to use marketing incentives, making them competitors to bank deposits and money market funds.<\/p>\n

The mass shift of capital into digital assets could alter the mechanisms of economic lending, according to BlackRock. Banks risk losing some liquidity.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, in developing countries, stablecoins are replacing weak national currencies. This expands access to the dollar but complicates the monetary policy of local central banks.<\/p>\n

BlackRock also identified other key trends:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. AI and Energy. <\/strong>The development of artificial intelligence is hitting physical limits. By 2030, data centers could consume up to 25% of all electricity in the US.<\/li>\n
  2. Politics. <\/strong>The world has entered a “third world order” after World War II. US-China relations define the global agenda, while Europe is increasing defense spending.<\/li>\n
  3. Investments.<\/strong> The company maintains a positive outlook on US stocks amid AI development.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The report also noted the issue of US national debt. BlackRock analysts no longer consider long-term Treasury bonds a reliable safe asset for portfolios. Investors are advised to seek alternative hedging instruments amid growing budget deficits.<\/p>\n

    Larry Fink and Bitcoin<\/h2>\n

    BlackRock CEO Larry Fink explained his dramatic shift in views on cryptocurrencies. Speaking at the NYT DealBook summit, he commented<\/a> on his journey from harsh criticism of the industry to launching the largest spot bitcoin ETF<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    Fink acknowledged that his transition from associating digital assets with money laundering to managing billion-dollar assets in digital gold has become a “vivid public example” of changing beliefs. According to the BlackRock CEO, “his thought process is constantly evolving.”<\/p>\n

    Fink described bitcoin as a “fear asset.” The top executive noted that the first cryptocurrency’s prices decline when markets gain certainty, for instance, amid news of US-China trade deals or easing political tensions.<\/p>\n

    The expert also warned short-term investors about the risks. Fink stressed that bitcoin remains an extremely volatile instrument. Successful trading requires a perfect sense of the market, which, in the opinion of the BlackRock head, most people do not possess.<\/p>\n

    Back in November, the head of the investment firm’s crypto division, Robert Mitchnick, stated<\/a> that most clients of the world’s largest asset managers do not consider digital gold as a means of payment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
