Jason Lan, Chief Executive Officer of Avenir Crypto Business, commented, "We are optimistic about the long-term prospects of bitcoin and other crypto assets. As the U.S. enters a rate-cutting cycle and regulatory frameworks become clearer, it is expected that mainstream institutions will increase their presence in the crypto asset space, attracting more investors to enter the market quickly and share the benefits of its growth. This will further deepen the integration of blockchain with the traditional financial system. Avenir Group will continue to improve its risk management of crypto asset investments and expand the depth and breadth of its investment products through continuous investment and research, so as to better tap into and expand overseas markets and go global."

Founded by Mr. Li Lin in 2023, Avenir Group is a pioneering institutional family office and investment management group dedicated to building an innovative, diversified and robust investment platform and ecosystem. Through the integration of financial technology, technology-driven investment methodologies in today's digital assets and traditional financial systems, Avenir Group envisions to empower the industry by providing and developing more accurate investment strategies and better risk management capabilities. Avenir Group makes multi-strategy investments in the global marketplace, including public market investments, private equity and venture capital investments, in the traditional financial and digital asset sector. Avenir Group strives to maintain a leading position in the industry with deep insights and excellence in the Web3 and crypto asset space.

Public data from 13-F filings by major institutions reveal a growing enthusiasm for Bitcoin ETFs among mainstream financial institutions and pension funds in Q2. According to industry analysis, Bitcoin ETFs saw a 27% jump in acceptance by institutional investors in Q2 of 2024, bringing the total number of professional bodies holding these ETFs to more than 1,000. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley together purchased over US$600 million of spot bitcoin ETFs in Q2, while pension funds also accelerated their participation, with the State of Michigan Retirement System purchasing US$6.6 million of spot bitcoin ETFs in Q2. Furthermore, a significant number of advisory firms, family offices, and select institutional investors are joining the race. The continued increase in Bitcoin ETF holdings by mainstream financial institutions and pension funds reflects the further integration of the emerging digital asset market with the traditional financial market, which will have a profound impact on the long-term development of the Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency market. Avenir Group is capitalizing on these new market opportunities by leveraging its investment expertise in blending the new with the traditional.
