According to news on January 15, Robbie Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock Group, which manages US$11.5 trillion in assets, said in a video interview with Bloomberg that “the adoption of Bitcoin is still in its early stages.” Robbie previously said, “Some of the things that are happening in the crypto industry are a bit of an own thing. Some cryptocurrency research-type publications and daily commentaries believe that Bitcoin is clearly a risk asset and infer that it is a risk asset.” Risk assets, should be traded like stocks. When we think of Bitcoin, we primarily think of it as an emerging global currency alternative. It is a scarce, global, decentralized, non-sovereign asset that is free of country-specific risks and traditional counterparty risks. "
