With $12 trillion in assets under management, the giant financial powerhouse speaks: Bitcoin is still in its early stages!

The head of the "financial giant" holding $12 trillion in assets caused a stir in the crypto market with a single statement.

BlackRock CEO Jay Jacobs openly stated during a CNBC live broadcast: "Bitcoin is still in its early stages."

This statement is far from empty talk—data shows that BlackRock's crypto holdings will surge by $22.5 billion by 2025, with Bitcoin remaining its core allocation, holding over 770,000 coins, voting with real money for the "early stage" theory.

From the creation of the Genesis Block in 2009, to a market cap surpassing $1 trillion in 2021, and to a net inflow of over $30 billion into spot ETFs by 2025, Bitcoin has completed decades of traditional asset development in just over ten years.

However, the price correction from a high of $120,000 to around $80,000 precisely confirms its nature as a "growing asset."

Today, with the implementation of the GENIUS Act establishing a compliance framework, countries like Argentina and Russia exploring practical applications, and institutional funds continuously entering through ETFs, Bitcoin is transitioning from a fringe asset to a mainstream allocation.

Jacobs' judgment essentially recognizes the incremental space brought by technological iteration and compliance—much like the chaos and potential in the early days of the internet, Bitcoin is still improving infrastructure and exploring broader use cases.

For investors, this may mean not worrying about short-term fluctuations.

When the world's largest asset management firm is betting on its long-term value through action, this more-than-a-decade-long digital asset revolution may just be beginning to open its true curtain.
