 <p>The billionaire investor pointed to significant indicators of Bitcoin’s staying power. He also highlighted the intentions of established entities like BlackRock and Fidelity, which have pursued the approval of a spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF) through the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).</p> 
 <p>Rubenstein noted that the engagement of industry giants like BlackRock underscores the increasing acceptance and credibility of Bitcoin.</p>

  <p>“If the mighty BlackRock is willing to have an ETF in Bitcoin, maybe Bitcoin will be around for a while.”&nbsp;</p> <cite>David Rubenstein, co-founder of The Carlyle Group</cite> 
 </blockquote> 
 <p>This sentiment echoed his belief that Bitcoin is not merely a passing trend but an asset gradually establishing its place within the financial landscape.</p> 
 <p>During the interview, Rubenstein expressed his admiration for the utility of Bitcoin and the growing shift toward decentralized currencies. While he does not own cryptocurrencies, he has invested in companies associated with crypto trading.</p> 
 <p>He also referenced Ripple’s recent legal victory against the SEC as a positive development for the crypto industry. Rubenstein highlighted that this outcome indicates that the courts are only partially persuaded by the SEC’s negative stance on cryptocurrencies.</p>
