Gonna shamelessly plug my pod. This episode is special:
tldr: Blackrock is a liability driven investor who 1) doesn’t want to be bailed out ever again; 2) hates bonds worse than Greg Foss; 3) understands btc enough to use it as the risk-free asset for portfolio construction: 4) sees the ETF as a way to hedge the upshock risk that bit them last September.
Implication is that they’re not necessarily in it for NGU - but they’re using it for existential purposes and will likely see it through.
Will start to create enhanced SPX etfs sprinkling in the btc ETF - then will move as far as they can towards 100%
