📈 Harvard Invests in BTC ETF

In partnership with

Hey crypto trailblazer, 👋

Two major headlines are shaping the narrative this week. Harvard’s endowment just disclosed a huge Bitcoin ETF position! On the other hand, a key crypto adviser in the Trump White House, has stepped down. Here are the headlines:

🎓 Harvard Endowment Buys BlackRock’s Bitcoin ETF

Harvard Management Company reported a $116 million stake, roughly 1.9 million shares, in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) as of June 30. This position is now their fifth-largest holding, right after Microsoft, Amazon, Booking Holdings, and Meta.

Here’s why this matters:

• Harvard’s move signals that top-tier institutions now see regulated Bitcoin ETFs as legitimate long-term investments.

• IBIT has grown rapidly into a multi-billion-dollar product and is becoming a preferred way for large investors to get Bitcoin exposure.

• The SEC recently allowed more options contracts on these ETFs, which could increase liquidity and trading opportunities.

This is another sign that crypto is no longer being ignored by the old guard of finance.

🗞Trump Crypto Advisor Bo Hines Bids Farewell

Bo Hines, executive director of the White House Presidential Council of Advisers on Digital Assets, announced he is stepping down and returning to the private sector. Hines was instrumental in pushing key legislative efforts, including the GENIUS Act, which established stablecoin regulation in the United States.

Key points:

• Hines led the working group that developed major crypto policy proposals and advised the SEC on creating clearer digital asset rules.

• He called the role “the honor of a lifetime” in a public post, earning praise from David Sacks, the White House’s AI and crypto czar.

While one of crypto’s strongest voices in the White House is leaving, the structure he helped create should keep moving forward.
