Blackrock and Coinbase Partnership Target Institutional Clients
Asset management firm BlackRock has partnered with crypto exchange Coinbase (COIN) to offer crypto directly to institutional investors. Through the collaboration, mutual clients of Aladdin, BlackRock’s investment management platform, will have access to crypto trading, custody, main brokerage and reporting capabilities.
