Episode Details

Bitcoin’s move into mainstream finance is reshaping investing, and BlackRock’s Jay Jacobs explains why. In this condensed recap of The Pomp Podcast, Anthony Pompliano and Jay Jacobs break down how Bitcoin ETFs like IBIT removed exchange friction, expanded institutional access, and helped bring Bitcoin into portfolio construction conversations. The discussion also covers Bitcoin’s lower volatility, growing liquidity, and how financialization now lets investors borrow, hedge with options, and use new ETF wrappers for different goals. Beyond crypto, Jacobs shares BlackRock’s view of AI as a major macro trend, while warning that power, copper, data centers, indium, and GPU supply could constrain growth.
