That is effectively what BlackRock has done in its latest research, Re-Underwriting Bitcoin: Still a Portfolio Diversifier. Rather than treating the recent drawdown as evidence…

The lawsuit said the deal kept wages down. Both systems denied it and settled without admitting they did anything wrong. The alleged agreement ended after the U.S. Justice Department filed an antitrust case in 2020 over Geisinger’s plan to take a…
