布朗大学已经披露了贝莱克的现货比特币ETF的近500万美元投资

布朗大学通过强制性的SEC申请披露了贝莱克（Blackrock）现货比特币ETF的近500万美元投资，这是其首次与这种金融资产类型的参与。

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.

布朗大学通过强制性的SEC提交的文件揭示了对BlackRock的现货比特币ETF的近500万美元投资，这标志着其首次与这种金融资产类型的参与。

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.

总部位于罗德岛的常春藤联盟机构向贝莱德的iShares比特币信托ETF（IBIT）投资了4,915,050美元。由首席执行官拉里·芬克（Larry Fink）监督的ETF正在帮助采用机构加密货币。布朗收购了105,000股IBIT股份，表示其投资组合中有2.3％的股权利息。

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

这项投资遵循埃默里（Emory）和奥斯汀大学（University of Austin）对比特币ETF的冒险，与他们通常的资产选择不同。

“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.

布朗大学发言人告诉Blockworks：“该大学的政策是将其部分捐赠基金投资于新兴技术和其他有前途的投资机会。”

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.

该机构的行动延续了大学参与受监管的比特币投资的趋势。此前，埃默里大学（Emory University）在IBIT上披露了1000万美元的第三季度投资，而奥斯汀大学（University of Austin）在第二季度宣布了同一ETF的2500万美元投资。

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.

由于大学以其保守的投资策略而闻名，因此对比特币进行投资对加密货币市场具有更大的影响，并且他们向规范的数字资产的转变值得注意。

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.

这一行动还与养老金的持续趋势和对冲基金相关联，这可能会影响市场流动性和情感。

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.

监管转变和机构参与的升级对于推动比特币最近的市场增长至关重要。美国证券交易委员会（SEC）于2024年1月批准了现场比特币ETF，为易于访问和受监管的投资途径打开了大门。

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.

批准后，几个机构已向加密行动做出了重大措施。例如，对冲基金Point72和北卡罗来纳大学的一月份宣布了2.4亿美元和10亿美元的投资。

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，数字资产管理公司Bittrust Capital的最新数据揭示了持续的资本流入IBIT。在2024年第一季度，ETF的净流入量为14亿美元，比上季度的6亿美元大幅增加。

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

这种机构参与可能会刺激加密生态系统中的财务和技术进步。
