First Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan, one of the world’s largest investment banks, and now Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, the world’s largest fund management company with $10 trillion in assets… It is claimed that Donald Trump will appoint one of these two names as the Minister of Treasury if he wins the presidential race.

Following the name Jamie Dimon, which was put forward in the past weeks, today the New York Post put forward the name Larry Fink. The newspaper also wrote that Trump and Larry Fink’s past acquaintance was also effective in this election.

When Trump became president in 2017, he hosted the well-known and famous businessmen of the USA at the White House and said of Fink, “Larry did a great job for me. He managed a lot of my money. I have to tell you, he got me great returns,” he said.

Fink had praised Bitcoin

Fink, who left his anti-Bitcoin stance in the past years in 2023, said in a programme he attended a few days ago, “I studied it, learned about it. And I came away saying, ‘OK, you know, my opinion five years ago was wrong.’ Here’s my opinion. Say this is what I believe in today. I believe in the opportunity today. I believe Bitcoin is legitimate.”

It is known that Fink also attaches great importance to tokenisation. BlackRock also has a tokenisation fund called BUIDL. BlackRock first applied for a Bitcoin spot ETF in June last year.

Unlike Fink, Jamie Dimon is completely opposed to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. “If I had the power, I would ban all cryptocurrencies,” Dimon said at a meeting of the Congressional Financial Services Committee he attended a while ago.

Donald Trump, who is a great supporter of cryptocurrencies, will attend the Bitcoin Conference in Nashville, USA, this week and will also make a speech here. It is also claimed that Trump will make a strategic reserve asset” statement for Bitcoin here.
