Brian Deese is Biden’s head of the National Economic Council. He used to be BlackRock’s global head of sustainable investing. Vice President Kamala Harris’s chief economic adviser, Michael Pyle, was BlackRock’s former global chief investment strategist. The chair of the BlackRock Investment Institute’s brother is Biden’s senior adviser and chief campaign strategist. So, what happened a week after the SEC sued Binance and Coinbase is curious, to say the least. Not only did BlackRock file an application for a Bitcoin ETF … but it uses Coinbase as its pricing source. It begs the question: If the Biden-controlled SEC seems to be making it clear that crypto isn’t welcome in the U.S. … Then why were its top donors applying to manage crypto investments just a week later?
