Perfect Moment Says It Expanded Global Reach With New Leading Luxury Brand Sales Agencies In Europe

BlackRock&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BLK#NASDAQ">BLK</a>) Head of Digital Assets, Robert Mitchnick, on Wednesday said that Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) adoption is still in its &#8220;early days&#8221;, particularly within the wealth advisory <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/12/42644568/institutional-crypto-adoption-for-real-this-time-says-messari">and institutional segments.</a>
What Happened: He shared this perspective during an <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2025-01-14/ibit-mstr-draw-different-investor-types-mitchnick-video">interview</a> with Bloomberg, discussing the firm&#8217;s focus for the second year of their IBIT (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBIT#NASDAQ">IBIT</a>) ETF.
Mitchnick acknowledged that the first year of IBIT saw record-setting inflows and asset accumulation.
He highlighted that BlackRock is still prioritizing its role as a resource and education partner for clients.
The firm specifically targets wealth advisors and institutions, which it believes hold the key to long-term adoption.
Mitchnick stated that the direct end investor demand was &#8220;gangbusters out of the gates&#8221;, but the wealth advisory and institutional segments are yet to see full adoption due to higher hurdles, including more thorough diligence and approval processes.
He noted that while both wealth advisory and institutional channels present significant opportunities, the wealth advisory channel is currently showing the most momentum. 
Firms are working through expedited approvals to allow their advisors to add Bitcoin ETPs to client portfolios.
Mitchnik pointed out that although institutional adoption is moving slowly, BlackRock is &#8220;starting to see more of them emerge&#8221;, particularly in the last quarter of the year.

Why It Matters: Mitchnick&#8217;s comments suggest that while initial enthusiasm for Bitcoin ETFs has been strong, the long-term growth and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42996138/new-crypto-accounting-rules-could-accelerate-corporate-bitcoin-adoption-says-ceo-of-leading-btc-miner-mark-to-market-standards-really-important">mainstream adoption</a> of Bitcoin will require deeper engagement with wealth advisors and institutional investors, and the market remains at a very early stage of maturity.
While BlackRock CEO Larry Fink has shifted from being a Bitcoin skeptic to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41323418/blackrock-ceo-larry-fink-says-bitcoin-other-cryptos-have-bright-future-regardless-of-wheth">embracing its potential</a> in recent years, JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has held firm in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42869884/jamie-dimon-questioned-bitcoins-21-million-cap-years-before-blackrock-heres-how-much-youd-have-if-you-invested-1000-into-btc-when-jpmorgan-ceo-shared-his-take">his opposition</a>.
Despite his personal views, JPMorgan has capitalized on Bitcoin's integration into financial products, including its role as an authorized participant for BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF.
For instance, speaking with CBS News on Tuesday, Dimon <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/01/42940832/jamie-dimon-says-hes-not-against-blockchains-but-trades-guns-on-bitcoin-again-it-has-no-intrinsic-value-i-just-dont-feel-great-about">reiterated his long-standing criticism</a>, stating, "Bitcoin itself lacks intrinsic value. It is heavily used in activities such as money laundering, ransomware, and human trafficking, which makes me uncomfortable with it."

Breaking Down CareDx: 3 Analysts Share Their Views

EV giant Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) reportedly plans to suspend parts of its manufacturing lines in Shanghai dedicated to making its <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/01/42905406/tesla-launches-refreshed-model-y-in-china-amid-rising-competition">refreshed Model Y SUV</a>.
What Happened: Tesla is planning to suspend part of the lines for its refreshed Model Y for around three weeks over Chinese New Year, Bloomberg News <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-15/tesla-to-suspend-part-of-new-model-y-lines-in-china-for-upgrades">reported</a>, citing people familiar with the matter. The suspension is aimed at prepping the lines for ramped-up production of the new model, the report said.
The pause on parts of the Model Y lines will be from Jan. 22 through Feb. 14, the report said while adding that another portion of the factory that makes the company&#8217;s Model 3 sedans will also be closed from Jan. 26 to Feb. 3. 
Tesla did not immediately respond to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga&#8217;s</a> request for comment.
Why It Matters: Tesla launched its refreshed Model Y in China last week. The refreshed vehicle starts at 263,500 yuan on Tesla's website, nearly 5.4% pricier than the older version of the vehicle which started at 249,900 yuan.
The new Model Y, Tesla says on the website, has a "longer range, new design and higher quality interior," among other changes. Deliveries of the new vehicle are expected to start in March.
The launch of a refreshed Model Y in a key market follows Tesla&#8217;s first annual decline in vehicle deliveries in over a decade. Tesla reported global&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/movers/25/01/42766117/tesla-stock-tumbles-on-q4-deliveries-whats-going-on" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">deliveries of 1.79 million</a>&nbsp;vehicles in 2024, down from full-year deliveries of 1.81 million in 2023.
Chinese EV giant BYD Co Ltd is also fast closing in on Tesla&#8217;s position as the world&#8217;s best-selling battery electric vehicle brand. BYD delivered over 1.76 million BEVs&nbsp;in 2024, only 24,234 units less than Tesla.
