CoinDesk quoted three people familiar with the matter as saying that BlackRock, the world's largest asset management company, is preparing to provide cryptocurrency trading services to its investor clients through its investment platform Aladdin.

One of the people familiar with the matter said that the New York-based company, which manages more than $10 trillion in assets for institutions, plans to enter the cryptocurrency field through customer support transactions and its own credit tools. In other words, BlackRock clients will be able to obtain loans using crypto assets as collateral.

One of the people familiar with the matter said that BlackRock will allow its clients - including public pension plans, endowment funds and sovereign wealth funds - to trade cryptocurrencies through its own comprehensive investment management platform Aladdin. As for when the plan will be made public, there is no exact timetable.

In response to the above news, BlackRock declined to comment.

Another source familiar with the matter said that BlackRock is seeking to use cryptocurrencies directly and is looking for suppliers in the field.

A third person familiar with the matter mentioned that a working group of about 20 people within BlackRock is evaluating cryptocurrencies, adding that they have seen the traffic that other institutions are getting and also hope to start getting a piece of it.

As early as June last year, when BlackRock began recruiting Aladdin's head of blockchain strategy, it was probably paving the way for providing cryptocurrency trading services. Today, it is well known that Wall Street banks and large financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and Citigroup are all involved in the field of cryptocurrency.

In 2018, BlackRock CEO Larry
Fink said in an interview that the company's customers were not interested in cryptocurrencies, but at the end of 2020, he made a rare turn and gave a positive evaluation of Bitcoin, believing that Bitcoin is expected to evolve into a global market asset.

Later, according to documents disclosed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), BlackRock held about $6.5 million in CME Bitcoin futures contracts in early 2021. BlackRock currently also holds a 16.3% stake in MicroStrategy.

In January this year, it was reported that BlackRock was planning to launch an exchange-traded fund focusing on blockchain technology, iShares Blockchainand Tech
ETF, which will track the investment results of the NYSE FactSet Global Blockchain Technology Index.
