BlackRock, Inc. (BLK – Free Report) has partnered with cryptocurrency exchange, Coinbase Global, to provide its institutional clients with access to digital currencies. Presently, the partnership is limited to bitcoins as it is the largest cryptocurrency in terms of market valuation.
Through the partnership, BLK’s institutional clients will have access to crypto trading, custody, prime brokerage, and reporting via Coinbase Prime, which is the exchange’s institutional platform, providing a wide range of features and tools.
Moreover, BLK’s top clients will be able to use the Aladdin investment-management system to oversee their exposure to bitcoin, along with other portfolio assets such as stocks and bonds, and to facilitate financing and trading on Coinbase’s exchange.
BlackRock, which is the world’s largest asset manager, has more than $10 trillion in assets under management. For a long time now, there have been rumors about BLK entering the cryptocurrency market.
Joseph Chalom, the global head of strategic ecosystem partnerships at BlackRock, stated, “Our institutional clients are increasingly interested in gaining exposure to digital asset markets and are focused on how to efficiently manage the operational lifecycle of these assets.”
The news of the partnership has come at a time when investors are dumping risky digital assets amid the geopolitical turmoil, rising interest rates and fears of an impending recession.
Notably, Coinbase has been facing a tough time since the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported its probe on July 25. The SEC has been inspecting the exchange’s cryptocurrency listings for a long time.
In mid-June, Coinbase revealed that it cut back 18% of its workforce to “ensure healthy during this economic downturn.”
So far this year, shares of BLK have lost 24% compared with the 22.9% decline recorded by the industry.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +24.41% per year. These returns cover a period from January 1, 1988 through July 4, 2022. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zacks Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
