Гарвардский университет почти утроил позицию в ETF от BlackRock

cryptonews.ruPublished on 2025-11-26Last updated on 2025-11-26

Гарвардский университет почти утроил вложения в спотовый ETF на базе биткоина (BTC). Об этом сообщает The Block со ссылкой на отчетность, в которой раскрывается структура активов крупнейшего в мире академического эндаумента.

В третьем квартале Гарвард сообщил о владении 6 813 612 акциями IBIT от финансового гиганта BlackRock. Это на 257% больше показателя на конец июня (1 906 000 акций).

Тогда IBIT занимал пятое место в инвестиционном портфеле университета. Сейчас соответствующая позиция стала крупнейшей, обойдя Microsoft, Amazon и SPDR Gold Trust, и показала самый значительный прирост за квартал.

Из данных отчетности не ясно, сколько Гарвард потратил на акции между двумя датами отчетности. Раскрытые позиции составляют лишь небольшую часть эндаумента университета, оцениваемого примерно в $57 млрд.

«Это едва ли не лучший сигнал доверия, который вообще может получить ETF», — написал аналитик Bloomberg Эрик Балчунас.

Он отметил, что вложенные университетом полмиллиарда составляют всего 1% общего эндаумента. Однако этой суммы все равно достаточно, чтобы занять 16 место среди держателей IBIT.

Не только Гарвард

Частный исследовательский университет Эмори также нарастил вложения в биткоин-ETF, следует из недавно подданной отчетности.

По состоянию на 30 сентября учреждение владеет более чем 1 млн акций биткоин-ETF Bitcoin Mini Trust от Grayscale (тикер BTC) с активами под управлением на $4,3 млрд. Вложения в BTC выросли на 91% с июня.

Организация также держит 4450 акций IBIT, этот показатель не изменился с прошлого отчета. Совокупный объем позиции составляет $42,9 млн.

Университет Эмори стал первым в США вузом, раскрывшим вложения в спотовые биткоин-ETF.

«Самостоятельная работа с такими инструментами связана с рисками», — отметил доцент кафедры учета Мэттью Лайл, комментируя первоначальные вложения в биткоин-ETF более чем на $15 млн.

Он отметил, что компании вроде Grayscale или BlackRock вряд ли могут «просто забрать деньги клиентов», поскольку это хорошо известные игроки.

Суверенный фонд Al Warda Investments из ОАЭ сообщил о владении 7 963 393 акциями IBIT от BlackRock стоимостью $517,6 млн по состоянию на 30 сентября. Это примерно на 230% больше по сравнению с 2 411 034 акциями, о которых структура отчиталась в июне, когда позиция впервые появилась в документации.

Introducing: Market Compass

Glassnode introduces Market Compass, a dashboard providing a unified view of Bitcoin market conditions. It consolidates thousands of on-chain and market metrics into seven "lenses." Four forward-looking lenses (Macro, Capital Flows, Investor Behavior, On-Chain Fundamentals) feed a headline composite score from 0 (Risk-Off) to 100 (Risk-On). Three standalone lenses (Cycle Position, Derivatives, Cross-Asset Rotation) describe the current market structure. In the current reading, the headline score is 14/100 (Risk-Off), indicating a defensive regime. The Macro lens is the weakest at 23, constrained by a strong US Dollar (DXY) trading above its 200-day average. While the other forward-looking lenses show moderate improvement from recent lows, the overall picture suggests bottom-fishing within an unturned market cycle. Key observations include stablecoin supply shrinking (reduced buying power), long-term holders absorbing supply, tepid on-chain demand, and a derivatives market coiled for a potential move. The tool is designed as a contextual map, not a direct trading signal, synthesizing complex data into a single coherent read.

NVIDIA CPU Advances, China's RISC-V Responds: Semiconductor Deep Dive - Part Four

NVIDIA is set to launch its new Vera AI data center CPU in China as early as August, with high pricing. While this move offers a new option, it highlights China's continued dependence on foreign-controlled Arm architecture. In response, the Chinese semiconductor industry is increasingly turning to RISC-V as a strategic alternative for achieving high-performance computing autonomy. The article explores the concept of the "impossible triangle" in CPU development—balancing prosperity, control, and autonomy—and posits that RISC-V's open-source, modular nature offers a unique path to achieving all three. While RISC-V is already dominant in embedded systems, the focus is now shifting to data centers and AI workloads. China has become a global hotspot for RISC-V development, driven by AI-driven compute demand, supply chain concerns from export controls, cost benefits of open-source, and strong policy support. Multiple Chinese companies have reportedly crossed the key performance threshold of 15 SPECint per GHz, a benchmark for entering the high-performance CPU club. Progress extends beyond single-core benchmarks. Companies are developing complete computing subsystems, including commercial-grade coherent network-on-chip (NoC) technology and server processors with up to 40 cores that strictly adhere to the RVA23 standard to ensure software compatibility. Real-world applications are emerging in areas like video transcoding and edge AI. However, significant challenges remain. The RISC-V ecosystem faces fragmentation, immature toolchains and verification processes, and gaps in single-core performance and energy efficiency compared to mature x86 and Arm architectures. The formidable software moat, epitomized by NVIDIA's CUDA, is a long-term hurdle. In conclusion, while RISC-V cannot immediately replace offerings like NVIDIA's Vera, it represents a viable long-term path for China to develop a self-sufficient, high-performance CPU ecosystem. The journey is acknowledged to be long and arduous, requiring sustained effort to overcome technical and ecosystem challenges.

My Coding Betting Dashboard is Profiting, but Polymarket is Truly Not a Good Place for 'Arbitrage'

The author built a custom monitoring dashboard for Polymarket, a prediction market platform, and tested it with $1,600, achieving over 30% returns. However, the core argument is that Polymarket is not a good venue for traditional arbitrage. The dashboard has two main sections: a "Portfolio Dashboard" for tracking active positions with key metrics like total capital, P&L, and a risk-control module using a tier system (T1, T2, T3), and an "Opportunity Watchlist" for monitoring markets. The article details a critical structural trap in binary markets: a bet with a high perceived probability of success still carries a 100% loss risk if wrong. The author's T1/T2/T3 system is designed to manage this by limiting position sizes based on conviction and time horizon, emphasizing that high confidence should not equal high concentration. A key insight is the danger of "pseudo-diversification"—betting on different markets driven by the same underlying variable. The author concludes that Polymarket offers few true low-risk, arbitrage opportunities. It is instead a high-risk environment where wins can create a false sense of mastery, leading to large losses. The platform is better viewed as a training ground for honing judgment through disciplined, framework-driven betting rather than a reliable income source. The tools help transform intuition into structured, rule-based decisions to mitigate the risk of catastrophic errors.

WeChat AI Card Hands-On Guide: Has the AI Shopping Era Arrived?

**"WeChat AI Card" Practical Test Guide: Has the Era of AI Shopping Arrived?** WeChat has officially launched the "AI Exclusive Card," a feature integrated into its Workbuddy AI assistant. This card is designed to handle payments for AI-initiated purchases. Our hands-on test reveals it's not yet a tool for fully autonomous AI shopping, but rather a controlled payment layer for AI agents. The AI Card functions as an isolated sub-wallet within WeChat Pay. Users must bind the card and transfer funds into it from their main wallet. Crucially, every transaction requires explicit user confirmation via smartphone scan; AI cannot spend autonomously. Currently accessible through the Workbuddy agent, the card targets specific digital consumption scenarios: purchasing paid content (reports, data), calling paid APIs/tools, and subscribing to services. Its design prioritizes security and control by separating funds and mandating approval for each payment. We tested a real-world scenario: ordering bubble tea via Workbuddy using a "Meituan Life Assistant" skill. The process encountered multiple hurdles: high "skill" usage costs (exceeding daily free credits), and most importantly, while a payment was successfully initiated, the AI purchased an incorrect product (a mismatched group-buy coupon instead of the desired drink). This highlights the current limitation: the **AI Card only solves the payment step**. The broader challenge lies in the **AI agent's execution chain**—accurately understanding intent, navigating third-party platforms, selecting the right product, and ensuring proper fulfillment. The payment succeeded, but the purchase failed to meet the user's need. In conclusion, the WeChat AI Exclusive Card is a cautious, early-step experiment in AI commerce. It provides a secure, user-controlled payment method for agent interactions but is not yet capable of reliable, end-to-end complex purchases. For now, it's best used for low-value, low-risk digital services with careful user verification at each step. The vision of AI handling complete shopping tasks remains a work in progress.
