ກອງທຶນບໍານານ Virginia ເຂົ້າໄປໃນພື້ນທີ່ໃຫ້ກູ້ຢືມ Crypto ເພື່ອເພີ່ມຜົນຕອບແທນ

Fairfax County Retirements Systems, a $6.8 billion Virginia pension fund, seeks to expand its scope by entering the crypto lending market to boost its returns, ຕາມ to Financial Times. 

This quest became a reality after the board of trustees gave the pension fund the greenlight to start investments in yield farming, whereby investors lend out their digital assets to crypto projects. In return, they attain a fixed stream of income. 

Katherine Molnar, the chief investment officer of the Fairfax County Police Officers Retirement System, pointed out:

"ບາງຜົນຜະລິດທີ່ເຈົ້າສາມາດບັນລຸໄດ້ໃນຍຸດທະສາດການກະສິກໍາຜົນຜະລິດແມ່ນມີຄວາມດຶງດູດໃຈແທ້ໆເພາະວ່າບາງຄົນໄດ້ກ້າວກັບຄືນຈາກພື້ນທີ່ນັ້ນ."

It seems the Fairfax County Retirements Systems intends to fill the void left by various leading crypto lenders, with some filing for bankruptcy and others facing an uncertain future. 

For instance, cryptocurrency hedge fund Three Arrows Capital (3AC) filed for Chapter 15 bankruptcy last month. The hedge fund’s woes were ignited by the collapse of LUNA-UST, given that it had a significant amount of exposure, ຂ່າວ Blockchain reported. Other embattled crypto lenders include Voyager and Celsius Network. 

Fairfax County Retirements Systems is committed to entering this sector because it has already placed $35 million each at VanEck’s new finance income fund and Parataxis Capital’s digital yield fund. This move will be instrumental in providing investors with income through short-term lending arrangements with crypto assets.

Andrew Spellar, investment chief for Fairfax County Employees, noted:

“We started in venture capital and private equity. But once we got more comfortable in the space, we started to think a bit broader about how we might be able to use strategies in digital assets in other parts of the portfolio.”

Meanwhile, different crypto sectors continue attracting more players. For instance, Philcoin, a philanthropic blockchain movement, recently ເປີດ a staking mechanism enabling users to donate part of their earnings to charity.
