The article discusses how the guidance from BlackRock regarding bitcoin allocation has gone unnoticed by many investors. BlackRock executives stated that a 1-2% allocation to BTC is a reasonable range for exposure in a portfolio. The article mentions that some investors are opting for a 5% allocation, which was considered significant considering that it would have been laughed at a year ago. The article suggests that as bitcoin volatility decreases and adoption increases, BlackRock may recommend a 5% allocation to BTC.
