BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK), the world’s largest asset manager, has seen its shares gain 9.9% year-to-date. The firm has benefited from a growth in mergers and market activity after record-high interest rates eased. Cramer’s previous remarks about BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) have remarked that the firm’s $12 trillion in assets under management can enable it to set up a sizable position for itself in the stablecoin market. This time, Cramer shared the responses he had received after speculating BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK)’s position in the stablecoin market:

“I mean I said that maybe there’s a possibility that. .Blackrock could do a stablecoin. And you know you get the usual emails which is like you don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s going to be much bigger.”

Previously, Cramer discussed BlackRock, Inc. (NYSE:BLK) after its earnings:

“Oh, then BlackRock comes out. Now I’ve championed BlackRock since $600, but it’s what have you done for me lately game. I hear it was at $1,111. I look at the headlines, and they seem solid, but there’s a seemingly disappointing line about inflows… When I saw the stock up 20, I knew whoever was excited about how BlackRock beat the quarter was a dead man walking. Why? Well, because this is an inflow story, and those moronic quick draws would lose money, but I had no idea they’d lose almost 90 points.

When the stock opened, it was a charnel house. And even as I liked the direction that the business is going, it didn’t matter. Brutal from my perspective because we own BlackRock for the Charitable Trust, and I failed people because I didn’t tell them to sell. Suddenly, my era of good feeling stemming from NVIDIA seemed like a distant memory. Sure, it turns out that a big account left the firm, knocking down the inflows. No solace whatsoever that my sponsorship came much lower. BlackRock misses. I stink…

Now I’m quite confident that both stocks are going higher eventually, but now they have to shake out all the weak hands before that happens, and that takes time. You have to build a whole new shareholder base. The companies might help. They might come on and tell us where the sellers were wrong… But in earnings season, there’s no such thing as do-overs. The fact is that if BlackRock or Wells Fargo had reported quarters that were in keeping with what was expected, they wouldn’t necessarily be higher today, but they certainly wouldn’t have ruined earnings season for me.”
