布朗大學已經披露了貝萊克的現貨比特幣ETF的近500萬美元投資

布朗大學通過強制性的SEC申請披露了貝萊克（Blackrock）現貨比特幣ETF的近500萬美元投資，這是其首次與這種金融資產類型的參與。

Brown University has revealed a nearly $5 million investment in BlackRock’s spot Bitcoin ETF through a mandatory SEC filing, marking its first engagement with this financial asset type.

布朗大學通過強制性的SEC提交的文件揭示了對BlackRock的現貨比特幣ETF的近500萬美元投資，這標誌著其首次與這種金融資產類型的參與。

The Rhode Island-based Ivy League institution invested $4,915,050 in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT). The ETF, overseen by CEO Larry Fink, is aiding institutional cryptocurrency adoption. Brown acquired 105,000 IBIT shares, signifying a 2.3% equity interest within its portfolio.

總部位於羅德島的常春藤聯盟機構向貝萊德的iShares比特幣信託ETF（IBIT）投資了4,915,050美元。由首席執行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）監督的ETF正在幫助採用機構加密貨幣。布朗收購了105,000股IBIT股份，表示其投資組合中有2.3％的股權利息。

This investment follows Emory and the University of Austin's ventures into Bitcoin ETFs, diverging from their usual asset selections.

這項投資遵循埃默里（Emory）和奧斯汀大學（University of Austin）對比特幣ETF的冒險，與他們通常的資產選擇不同。

“The university has a policy of investing a portion of its endowment funds in emerging technologies and other promising investment opportunities,” a Brown University spokesperson told Blockworks.

布朗大學發言人告訴Blockworks：“該大學的政策是將其部分捐贈基金投資於新興技術和其他有前途的投資機會。”

The institution’s action continues the trend of universities engaging in regulated Bitcoin investments. Previously, Emory University disclosed a third-quarter investment of $10 million in IBIT, while the University of Austin announced a $25 million investment in the same ETF in the second quarter.

該機構的行動延續了大學參與受監管的比特幣投資的趨勢。此前，埃默里大學（Emory University）在IBIT上披露了1000萬美元的第三季度投資，而奧斯汀大學（University of Austin）在第二季度宣布了同一ETF的2500萬美元投資。

Investing in Bitcoin has broader implications for the cryptocurrency market as universities are known for their conservative investment strategies, and their shift towards regulated digital assets is noteworthy.

由於大學以其保守的投資策略而聞名，因此對比特幣進行投資對加密貨幣市場具有更大的影響，並且他們向規範的數字資產的轉變值得注意。

This action also ties into the ongoing trend of pensions and hedge funds increasing their presence in crypto, which could affect market liquidity and sentiment.

這一行動還與養老金的持續趨勢和對沖基金相關聯，這可能會影響市場流動性和情感。

Regulatory shifts and escalating institutional participation have been crucial in driving Bitcoin’s recent market gains. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) approved spot Bitcoin ETFs in January 2024, opening the door for easily accessible and regulated investment avenues.

監管轉變和機構參與的升級對於推動比特幣最近的市場增長至關重要。美國證券交易委員會（SEC）於2024年1月批准了現場比特幣ETF，為易於訪問和受監管的投資途徑打開了大門。

Following the approval, several institutions have made significant moves into crypto. For instance, hedge fund Point72 and the University of North Carolina announced investments of $240 million and $1 billion, respectively, in January.

批准後，幾個機構已向加密行動做出了重大措施。例如，對沖基金Point72和北卡羅來納大學的一月份宣布了2.4億美元和10億美元的投資。

Moreover, recent data from digital asset management firm Bittrust Capital reveals persistent capital inflows into IBIT. In the first quarter of 2024, the ETF witnessed a net inflow of $1.4 billion, a significant increase from the previous quarter's $600 million.

此外，數字資產管理公司Bittrust Capital的最新數據揭示了持續的資本流入IBIT。在2024年第一季度，ETF的淨流入量為14億美元，比上季度的6億美元大幅增加。

This institutional engagement could spur financial and technological advancements within the crypto ecosystem.

這種機構參與可能會刺激加密生態系統中的財務和技術進步。
