PANews reported on December 4th that, according to CoinDesk, BlackRock's latest AI report predicts that the failure of traditional financial hedging tools, driven by the expected surge in US debt exceeding $38 trillion, will accelerate institutional adoption of cryptocurrencies. The report is bearish on US Treasury bonds and the US economic outlook, stating that economic fragility and the leverage risks brought by AI will prompt institutions to turn to digital assets such as Bitcoin. BlackRock has already made Bitcoin ETFs one of its main sources of revenue, predicting that digital assets may reach new highs in 2026. CEO Larry Fink emphasized that "tokenization" will be the next stage in financial markets. The report also points out that stablecoins have become an important bridge between traditional finance and digital liquidity.
