Emirates NBD, one of the largest banks in the United Arab Emirates, is evaluating Bitcoin as a strategic asset. The review signals a notable shift in how major regional lenders approach digital assets. Senior leadership now views Bitcoin less as a speculative token and more as a long-term store of value.

BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager, has formally delineated its thesis for digital assets, categorizing Bitcoin as a “sovereign store of value” while ceding the payments utility narrative to stablecoins. Robbie Mitchnick, Head of Digital Assets, outlined the firm’s quantitative approach this week, framing Bitcoin not as a tech stock proxy, but as a generational alternative to the $26 trillion gold market.

Bitcoin price today trades near $113,700, consolidating after a sharp pullback from the $124,000 resistance zone. The selloff found footing near the $113,500 level, aligning with the 100-day EMA and a critical trendline support that has contained every major correction since May. Bulls now face a test to reclaim $116,500 and restore momentum before deeper downside levels come into play.
