BlackRock Future Builders launches $25 million national RFP to expand America's skilled trades workforce. BlackRock | Jun 01, 2026 Funding will support nonprofits that are connecting workers to skilled trades careers and economic opportunity across the country June 1, 2026 - New York, NY - BlackRock today launched a $25 million nationwide Request for Proposals (RFP) as the next phase of BlackRock Future Builders, its $100 million philanthropic effort to build and strengthen America's skilled trades workforce, reaching 50,000 American workers over the next five years. Through the RFP, over two funding cycles, The BlackRock Foundation will award two-year grants ranging from $500,000 to $1 million per award. As recipients of these grants, local, regional, and national nonprofits will be able to expand programs that provide access to high-quality skilled trades training and career pathways - such as electricians, HVAC technicians, plumbers, and ironworkers - that support critical infrastructure. "Skilled trades are essential to America - these jobs build the infrastructure our economy and communities depend on, and they create pathways for people to build lasting financial security," said Arielle Gurman, Head of Strategy for The BlackRock Foundation and Executive Director of Future Builders. "Demand for skilled workers is rising quickly, yet too many people still face barriers to entering these careers. Through this RFP, Future Builders will support nonprofits across the country that are helping more Americans access economic opportunity." The RFP will be administered by Jobs for the Future (JFF), a national nonprofit with deep expertise in workforce development. In this role, JFF will manage the application process and support a review of proposals. The six-week application window for the first funding cycle will be open from June 1 through July 10, 2026, with grant recipients expected to be announced in the fall. To learn more about eligibility and to apply, visit here. "Jobs for the Future is proud to partner with The BlackRock Foundation on this transformative initiative to expand economic opportunity and help define the future of work for the next generation of America's skilled trades workers," said Maria Flynn, President and CEO of Jobs for the Future. "The Future Builders RFP is a critical opportunity to identify organizations and scale solutions across the country that are connecting more people to quality jobs in the skilled trades. JFF looks forward to bringing our deep expertise in workforce systems to lead a competitive RFP process to support partners that will have the highest, most scalable impact." The RFP builds on the successful launch of Future Builders in Texas last month, where The BlackRock Foundation committed $30 million over three years to strengthen skilled trades pipelines. These grants will help train more than 12,000 Texans for electrical careers, supporting the workforce needed to meet the state's rapid growth.

Circle CEO says big banks are exploring digital asset strategies. * May 30, 2026 Key takeaways: * Major banks are no longer avoiding crypto, as they are actively building digital asset strategies. * Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire says nearly every financial institution now has a mandate to explore blockchain or digital assets. * Financial giants already involved include JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and BlackRock. The world's biggest banks are no longer ignoring crypto. According to Circle CEO Jeremy Allaire, "Literally every financial institution in the world" now has a plan to implement digital assets in some form, signaling a major shift in how traditional finance views blockchain technology. Just a few years ago, most banks treated cryptocurrencies as risky or speculative. Today, many of those same institutions are building blockchain payment systems, exploring tokenized assets, and investing in stablecoins like USDC (USDC). For everyday users, this could eventually mean faster payments, cheaper international transfers, and easier access to financial services. Why banks are suddenly interested in crypto. Banks are moving into digital assets because they see blockchain as a way to improve how money moves around the world. Traditional banking systems can still be slow and expensive, especially for cross-border payments that require multiple intermediaries. Blockchain networks allow transactions to settle almost instantly, often at a lower cost. Stablecoins, cryptocurrencies tied to stable assets like the US dollar, are becoming especially attractive because they combine the speed of crypto with the stability of fiat currency. For regular consumers, this could make sending money internationally as easy as sending a text message. Businesses may also benefit from faster payroll processing, lower payment fees, and quicker settlement times. Another major factor is competition. Once financial giants like BlackRock and Fidelity entered the crypto market with Bitcoin (BTC) investment products and digital asset services, other institutions accelerated their own blockchain strategies to avoid falling behind. Which major financial companies already have crypto strategies? Several of the world's largest financial companies are already deeply involved in digital assets. JPMorgan has developed its own blockchain-based payment network and continues expanding tokenized finance initiatives. Goldman Sachs operates crypto trading services for institutional clients, while Morgan Stanley offers Bitcoin-related investment access to wealthy customers. BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, launched spot Bitcoin investment products that attracted massive investor demand. Fidelity has also expanded its crypto offerings, including custody and retirement investment services tied to digital assets. Visa and Mastercard are integrating stablecoin payment systems into their global networks, allowing blockchain-based payments to work alongside traditional cards. Meanwhile, PayPal introduced its own stablecoin to support digital payments and transfers. Banks in Europe and Asia are also exploring blockchain settlements and central bank digital currency projects, showing that crypto adoption is becoming a global trend rather than a US-focused experiment. Why this is relevant for crypto users. The growing involvement of major banks could make crypto easier and safer for ordinary people to use. Instead of relying on complicated exchanges, users may eventually access blockchain-based services directly through their regular banking apps. Digital assets could also improve financial access in regions where traditional banking remains limited. With only a smartphone and internet connection, users may be able to store money, send payments, or access financial services without needing a traditional bank account. At the same time, regulation will play a major role in determining how quickly adoption grows. Governments worldwide are still developing rules for stablecoins, tokenized assets, and digital payments. Still, Allaire's comments highlight a growing reality: Digital assets are no longer operating outside the financial system. Increasingly, they are becoming part of the system itself.
