The freezing of Russian assets for $ 300 billion in 2022 became a starting point for some states and global investors who finally decided to pay attention to Bitcoin, said JaCobs, head of the BlackRock Investment Committee.

According to Jacobs, political tension around the world and growing uncertainty accelerate the diversification of assets among central banks of different countries:

“All this diversification from traditional assets towards cryptocurrencies and gold began three to four years ago. We observe a significant influx of funds in ETF on bitcoin. And all this is because investors are looking for assets with independent market behavior. ”

Bitcoin shows a relatively low correlation with the US stock market in the long run – in the context of the existing instability, the first cryptocurrency behaves differently than shares or bonds, the representative said BlackRock.

Bitcoin turned out to be “surprisingly stable” in the conditions of a trade war-compared to altcoins and indices like S&P 500-although it remains vulnerable to the fears of a recession in the United States, the expert emphasized.

Earlier analysts of the American company Ark Invest They saidthat by 2030, the bitcoin exchange rate could be $ 2.4 million against the backdrop of the growing asset by large investment funds.
