The global financial services industry is only “at the beginning of tokenization of all assets – from real estate to equities to bonds,” says Larry Fink, chief executive of BlackRock Inc (NYSE: BLK).

Fink’s remarks on tokenization and how it could prove majorly constructive for BLK shares come on the heels of a strong third-quarter earnings release on Tuesday.

The multinational saw its revenue come in at $6.51 billion, up 25% year-over-year, while adjusted earnings printed at a better-than-expected $11.55 in its Q3.

BlackRock stock is currently up more than 40% versus its year-to-date low in early April.

According to Larry Fink, tokenization of all assets could prove “the next wave of opportunity” for BLK stock – and his stance on digital finance isn’t just philosophical; it’s strategic.

With more than $4.1 trillion sitting in digital wallets globally, much of it outside the US, he sees tokenized exchange-traded funds (ETFs) as a gateway to traditional investing.

“If we could tokenize an ETF…we could get [crypto-native investors] into more traditional long-term retirement products,” he said in a post-earnings interview with CNBC today.

BlackRock’s own tokenized money market fund, BUIDD, and its Bitcoin ETF, IBIT, which now boasts over $100 billion in assets, exemplify this shift.

As digital ecosystems expand, BlackRock is positioning itself as the bridge between decentralized finance and institutional-grade products, potentially unlocking new revenue streams and investor segments.

Beyond tokenization, BlackRock shares look attractive also because the company’s fundamentals remain robust.

It reported $205 billion in net inflows for Q3, with iShares ETFs leading the charge. Additionally, assets under management (AUM) hit a record $13.46 trillion – up 17% on a year-over-year basis.

BlackRock’s acquisition of HPS Investment Partners added $165 billion in client assets, bolstering its private markets footprint as well.

Meanwhile, organic basic fee growth hit $10% annualised – driven by systematic active equity, outsourcing, and digital assets.

BLK diversified revenue mix: from equities and fixed income to private credit and infrastructure, offers resilience across market cycles.

With a 1.77% dividend yield and consistent buybacks, BLK shares offer both growth and income, which makes them a compelling long-term investment.

Larry Fink’s vision for tokenization isn’t just a tech pivot – it’s a strategic evolution for the world’s largest asset manager.

“We look at that as the next wave of opportunity for BlackRock over the next tens of years,” he told CNBC.

As traditional finance converges with blockchain innovation, BlackRock’s scale, credibility, and product breadth position it to lead.

Whether through ETFs, private markets, or tokenized offerings, the firm is building a unified platform for the digital age.

All in all, for investors, BlackRock stock offers exposure to both legacy strength and future-forward innovation.

That’s why Wall Street continues to rate it at “buy” heading into 2026.
