BlackRock and other big organisations forced SEC to accept Bitcoin ETFs. Do you know what this means? This means that there is a huge interest from the richest organisations in the world, those who own shares in thousands of the richest companies. They have been buying lots of Bitcoins and continuing so, which means that we should hold tight because we hold something that they want. Since there is such an aggressive investment from them and there are also lots of countries getting interested into creating a Bitcoin strategic reserves, this means that Bitcoin will reach $1M.
When you control 10+ trillion dollars all from the same place, it's easy to give orders to even government. They are even closer to 12+ trillion dollars right now. By comparison, let me put it this way, the entire debt of USA is 33 trillion dollars.
So it means, Blackrock is 1/3 big as USA whole debt, they are seriously huge, and I am pretty sure there are not that many nations in the world bigger than Blackrock, maybe a few? That is why it's quite obvious that they have the power and the money to give orders to USA easily, specially SEC. That is normally a scary thing, that power should not be something we need to celebrate, but in this one instance, it was something that benefited all of us in the crypto world.
Why should we compare it to debt, compare it to GDPs. I want to mention that BlackRock's market cap is 180$ billion but since they control assets of their customers, them with their asset reach 12.53$ trillion, which is 40% of the US economy, 65% of the Chinese economy and it's significantly more than the economy of the rest of the countries. There is also another company called Vanguard Group that is nearly as rich as BlackRock. Vanguard manages assets worth 10.4$ trillion. These two companies combined manage assets worth 23$ trillion, which is 75% of the US GDP and higher than the GDP of China.
