BlackRock assets under management surge to record $9tn

Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest asset management company, mentioned crypto assets (virtual currency) such as Bitcoin (BTC) in its quarterly financial results on the 15th. BlackRock is the largest asset manager that manages about $ 9 trillion in client assets.
