奥斯汀大学启动其比特币基金

该发展是在美国采用比特币的一般趋势。唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）对比特币的重力和他将该国成为全球比特币的承诺所激发的奥斯汀大学的举动是被誉为资产的下一级采用的少数人之一。

The University of Austin has announced the establishment of a Bitcoin investment fund, making it one of the first academic institutions to do so. This move comes amid a broader trend of Bitcoin adoption in the United States.

奥斯汀大学宣布建立一个比特币投资基金，使其成为最早这样做的学术机构之一。在美国采用比特币采用的更广泛趋势之中，此举是出于这种举动。

The university's decision was reportedly influenced by Donald Trump's interest in Bitcoin and his pledge to establish the country as the world's Bitcoin capital. This development is being touted as a significant step in the mainstream adoption of the digital asset, which has outperformed other asset classes over the last five years despite the sector's volatility.

据报道，该大学的决定受到唐纳德·特朗普对比特币的兴趣以及他将该国确立为世界比特币资本的保证的影响。这一发展被吹捧为主流采用数字资产的重要一步，尽管该行业的波动性，但在过去五年中，该资产的表现超过了其他资产类别。

The University of Austin is raising a $5 million Bitcoin fund, which will be part of its $200 million endowment fund, according to the report. This follows Emory University of Georgia's disclosure in October 2024 that it holds Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs), making it the first US university to report holding Bitcoin ETFs.

该报告称，奥斯汀大学正在筹集500万美元的比特币基金，该基金将成为其2亿美元的捐赠基金的一部分。这是在2024年10月佐治亚州埃默里大学（Emory University of Georgia）披露的，它持有比特币交易所贸易资金（ETF），这使其成为美国第一个报告持有比特币ETF的美国大学。

There has been increasing interest in Bitcoin from institutional players, a development that could have a sustained positive impact on its price. MicroStrategy remains the undisputed Bitcoin champion, but other companies are joining the trend. The University of Austin is reportedly considering a minimum five-year holding strategy for Bitcoin.

机构参与者对比特币的兴趣越来越大，这一发展可能会对其价格产生持续的积极影响。 MicroStrategy仍然是无可争议的比特币冠军，但其他公司正在加入趋势。据报道，奥斯汀大学正在考虑对比特币的最低五年持有策略。

"We think there is long-term value there, just the same way that we might think there is long-term value in stocks or real estate," said Chad Thevenot, Senior Vice President for Advancement at the University of Austin.

奥斯汀大学晋升高级副总裁查德·塞维诺特（Chad Thevenot）表示：“我们认为那里有长期价值，就像我们可能认为股票或房地产具有长期价值一样。”

While US institutions are shifting towards Bitcoin, others, such as Brian Neale of the University of Nebraska Foundation, remain cautious about the industry. According to Neale, there are no plans to enter the crypto space until more experienced peers do and regulatory clarity is achieved.

尽管美国机构正在向比特币转移，但其他机构，例如内布拉斯加州大学基金会的布莱恩·尼尔（Brian Neale），对该行业保持谨慎。根据Neale的说法，在经验丰富的同行并实现监管清晰度之前，没有计划进入加密货币空间。

Highlighting the low adoption rate of crypto among allocators, Neale argued that he does not view crypto as an institutionally investable asset. He urged the government and relevant agencies to establish clear regulations, specifically calling on the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to provide guidance that will help bring the industry to global standards.

Neale强调了分配器中加密货币的低采用率，他认为他不将加密货币视为机构投资资产。他敦促政府和相关机构制定明确的法规，特别呼吁向美国证券交易委员会（SEC）提供指导，以帮助将该行业提高全球标准。

"I don't think this administration can do it, and I don't think Donald Trump's issuance of his crypto helps the industry go mainstream at all," said Neale.

尼尔说：“我认为这个政府不能做到这一点，而且我认为唐纳德·特朗普（Donald Trump）发行了他的加密货币，这完全可以帮助该行业成为主流。”

Bitcoin adoption may accelerate soon

比特币采用可能很快加速

Crypto adoption has progressed from the retail to the institutional level, but there have been obstacles to further widespread acceptance. However, there is a strong sense that it may become the future of investment, given the changing perception of crypto among younger generations.

加密的采用已经从零售到机构层面，但存在进一步广泛接受的障碍。但是，鉴于年轻一代对加密的看法的不断变化，人们认为它可能成为投资的未来。

According to a recent Bitget survey, around 20% of Gen Z and Alpha respondents expressed a willingness to receive their pensions in cryptocurrency.

根据最近的一项BITGET调查，大约20％的Z和Alpha受访者表示愿意接受加密货币的养老金。

Moreover, about 78% of the respondents indicated a preference for receiving their pensions in an alternative retirement savings option, suggesting a shift away from traditional pension funds.

此外，约有78％的受访者表示倾向于在替代退休储蓄方案中接受养老金，这表明从传统的养老基金转移。

While it remains uncertain whether a transition to crypto will occur in the future, the survey respondents showed a clear consensus in favor of decentralized finance and other blockchain-based solutions.

尽管未来是否会过渡到加密货币，但调查受访者表明，明确的共识，有利于分散的金融和其他基于区块链的解决方案。

"The survey serves as a wake-up call for the traditional finance industry, as younger generations are exploring opportunities in alternative pension savings methods," said Gracy Chen, CEO of Bitget. "Younger generations are no longer content with one-size-fits-all pension systems. They're looking for modern solutions that give them more control, flexibility, and transparency."

Bitget首席执行官Gracy Chen说：“这项调查是对传统金融业的警钟呼吁，因为年轻一代正在探索替代养老金储蓄方法的机会。” “年轻一代不再满足于一种适合所有养老金的养老金系统。他们正在寻找现代解决方案，这些解决方案使他们更具控制，灵活性和透明度。”
