Another global investment firm,
Skybridge Capital filed an amendment last November 13,2020 to SEC allowing their $3.6 billion fund to start investing in
BTC.
Digital Assets. Investment Funds may hold long and short positions in digital assets. Digital assets (also known as “virtual currencies,” “cryptocurrencies,” “coins” or “tokens” or similar terms) are assets that are issued and/or transferred using technological innovations such as distributed ledger or blockchain technology and include, but are not limited to, Bitcoin. Digital assets have no intrinsic value other than as a method of exchange and are not based on a tangible commodity, security, contractual right or legal obligation. Digital assets have limited history and typically are not issued or backed by any government, bank or central organization. Over their short history, digital assets have experienced tremendous price volatility compared to traditional asset classes, and may experience significant illiquidity in stressed market conditions. The values of digital assets should not be expected to be connected or correlated to traditional economic or market forces, and the value of the investments of Investment Funds in digital assets could decline rapidly, including to zero. An Investment Manager may pursue a variety of investment strategies in managing digital assets of an Investment Fund, and the Company may invest in Investment Funds that provide access to a particular digital asset or assets without a discretionary investment strategy. Investment Funds may invest in digital assets without restriction as to market capitalization or technological features or attributes (including lesser-known or novel digital assets known as “altcoins”) and may invest in initial coin offerings, which have historically been subject to fraud.

More and more of these hedge fund companies are rushing in and join the bandwagon and definitely not the last and this could be the trend in 2021.
Again, this is another good news that might push the price to new all time high next year if this amendment is allowed by SEC.
