BlackRock is one of the largest investment companies in the world with $ 8.7 trillion in assets under management.
In early April, she disclosed information on the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) website that she began working with bitcoin futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). BlackRock held 37 contracts with an expiration date of March 26th. Their par value was $ 6.1 million, and their unrealized profit was $ 360 thousand.
The fact that BlackRock plans to start trading Bitcoin futures became known in January 2021. This was the first time that an investment giant had announced an interest in cryptocurrency.
