Crypto data live from Sharpe's tracker cache; TradFi values are reference benchmarks updated quarterly.
BlackRock's market cap has ranged $130B-$180B in 2024-2026. Ethereum's market cap ($300B-$500B) is 2-3x BlackRock's. BlackRock manages $10T+ AUM; ETH has no direct equivalent scale metric but settles ~$1-2T in annual on-chain value. BlackRock has embraced Ethereum explicitly — BUIDL tokenized Treasury fund runs natively on Ethereum, and BlackRock's spot ETH ETF (ETHA) holds significant AUM. Larry Fink has repeatedly said tokenization is the future of financial markets. For allocators, ETH and BLK represent complementary exposures to the tokenization thesis — BlackRock captures the asset-management layer; Ethereum captures the protocol layer. Low-moderate correlation.
