Trump team seeks advice from BlackRock CEO on new Treasury secretary

According to Fox Business, the Trump team has consulted with BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and at least one BlackRock executive in their search for a Treasury secretary. Fox reporters say Donald Trump has a long-standing relationship with Larry Fink, one of the best risk managers in the industry, whom he regularly consults with about markets and other issues. Larry Fink will not be a candidate for Treasury secretary, but the move shows that Trump has a "grand vision" for how to implement economic policy. Larry Fink, BlackRock's chief executive, once told CNBC: "I believe bitcoin is a legitimate financial instrument and I believe bitcoin has a place in the portfolio."
