On BlackRock’s Q3 2025 earnings call, CFO Martin Small stated that the firm has been “focused on building capabilities that we anticipate our clients will need in the future while also implementing some of the largest and most multifaceted mandates in our history.” He noted that the iShares franchise crossed $5 trillion in assets during the quarter with record net inflows of $153 billion. Small also said the U.S. needs to “accelerate regulatory clarity and investments in digital assets innovation” and that the country should be “a leader in market infrastructure for much of the larger part of the world of digital assets.” During the call, Small discussed BlackRock’s efforts around tokenization and digitization of assets, saying the firm is “spending a great deal of time on the tech” and believes it can introduce younger investors to traditional assets through tokenized ETFs. He described digital wallets as a way to transform digital liquidity into retirement products, adding that the firm is in “deep conversations” and expects “exciting announcements in the coming years” regarding its role in tokenization.
“Our builds across ETFs, private markets, whole portfolio, and cash management drove 8% organic base fee growth over the last 12 months. That's our highest level in over four years. But even more importantly, it's broadly diversified.”
“We've provided additional disclosure in our earning supplement on the contribution of performance fee related compensation to total expense. In line with our guidance in July, we continue to expect a low teens percentage increase in 2025 core GNA expense.”
“We believe the US needs to accelerate regulatory clarity and investments in digital assets innovation. We need to be a leader in market infrastructure for much of the larger part of the world of digital assets.”
“Even if a path clears for private markets and 401ks, the fiduciary standard rule still holds. Planned fiduciaries will need to carefully diligence all investments just as they are required to do today. I think that could create an acceleration in demand for all the Aladdin products including Prequin.”
