Yeah this was announced too soon and it ended up being a misinformation miscommunication where Blackrock did not collaborate with HBAR.
The fact is we never know if Blackrock just wanted to be quiet on this collaboration or HBAR was too ambitious to announce it sooner but the response to the HBAR token price increased significantly on the same day but this increase only lasted a few hours after which it dropped back to the initial price.
Being hasty and not considering the consequences is very fatal. I know that perhaps HBAR's goal in spreading this information is a positive step to attract investors. Of course, any crypto industry would be thrilled to successfully collaborate with Blackrock as its reputation with top investors has a major impact on HBAR adoption.
You are absolutely right that whatever unpleasant situation surrounding the announcement of agreement between BlackRock and HBAR coin team, this coin make significant gains due to its robust fundamentals including real life use case continue to drive significant gains and can potentially attract any big investor like BlckRock for mutually beneficial partnership in future.
In my opinion, Blackrock immediately clarified the reasons so that there would be no misunderstandings with its investors. Just imagine an agreement that is not 100% complete, has been announced and anyone who sees the information immediately responds without thinking twice, just hearing the word "Blackrock" is enough to automatically press the "buy" button.
