With Yale University is now entering the crypto sector. As reported by the news portal Bloomberg, the Yale executives are investing in the Paradigm crypto fund. Thanks in part to the support of this major investor, the fund manages to raise more than $ 400 million in total. The Paradigm Fund was launched by Coinbase co-founder Fred Ehrsam. It is supported by ex-Sequoia Capital partner Matt Huang and ex-Pantera Capital employee Charles Noyes - concentrated investment know-how. Paradigm will invest primarily in small, emerging startups operating in the blockchain and crypto areas. Through its investment in the funds, Yale finances innovative crypto start-ups around the world. So far, Yale has kept silent about the scope of the investment. However, it is known that the Yale University Endowment, the fund of the University, comprises about 30 billion US dollars. He is the largest fund of an academic institution worldwide after the Harvard Endowment. For the year 2019 also about 60 percent of all investments of the Yale University are intended for alternative investments. Yale is the first major US university to invest heavily in cryptocurrency. That this investment still happens indirectly through a fund also shows how much institutional investors are still shying away from direct entry into the crypto market.
