Jersey City Pension Fund To Follow Wisconsin's Lead With Bitcoin ETF Investment: 'I've Been A Long Time Believer In Crypto,' Says Mayor Fulop
Jersey City mayor Steven Fulop announced allocating a portion of the city's pension fund to Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETF,) becoming just the second pension fund after Wisconsin to get exposure to the price moves of the apex cryptocurrency.
杰西市市长史蒂文·富洛普宣布将城市养老基金的一部分分配给比特币现货交易所交易基金(ETF),这是继威斯康星之后仅有的第二个接触最高点加密货币价格波动的养老基金。
What Happened: The mayor informed Thursday that the pension fund is updating paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to invest in the investment vehicles that have been trading on US stock markets since early January.
发生了什么:市长透露,养老基金正在更新证券交易委员会(SEC)的文件,以投资于自1月初以来一直在美国股市交易的投资工具。
Fulop, however, didn't mention which ETF the funds will be allocated to, or the exact allocation percentage. He said that the allocation would be in line with the 2% allocation done by the Wisconsin Pension Fund in May.
然而,富洛普未提供资金将分配到哪个ETF或确切的分配百分比。他说,这笔分配将与威斯康星养老基金在5月进行的2%分配相一致。
