💎 BlackRock suggests Bitcoin for optimal portfolio

BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, has suggested a portfolio allocation heavily favoring Bitcoin, with 84.9% dedicated to cryptocurrency.

The suggestion comes as part of a report detailing optimal portfolio structure with regard to risk versus reward. Analysts suggest that if this recommendation is followed, Bitcoin's value could increase significantly. Furthermore, BlackRock has recently applied for a spot ETF, with a response from the SEC expected by September 2nd. The move has led to speculation that the SEC may be attempting to control the cryptocurrency market through major Wall Street firms.

🌩️ Crypto market cap fell below critical level

Over the last 24 hours, the total cryptocurrency market capitalization has dipped below a critical support level of $1.15 trillion, indicating a market correction period with an average loss of 3% across several cryptocurrencies.

This downtrend has been attributed to uncertainties related to rumors of possible future interest rate hikes by the FED. The market cap fell from a high of $1.169 trillion to $1.123 trillion. Despite the market-wide downturn, some altcoins like XDC Network and Maker experienced significant gains. Meanwhile, Compound, The Graph, and Aptos saw the most significant losses.
