Galaxy’s Institutional Ethereum Funds Raise $32M at Launch – From a Select Few
Galaxy Digital’s institutional-grade ether (ETH) funds have raised over $32 million since their February launch, according to documents filed Friday with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Early returns – for an “onshore” $22 million fund and its Cayman-domiciled $10 million sibling – reveal a small but deep-pocketed clientele participated in the twin funds’ earliest days. Just five total investors have joined the funds since Galaxy unveiled them in late January.
The funds debuted as ETH settled in the $1,500 range, well below highs set February when the native asset of the world computer topped $2,000 for the first time ever. But Galaxy’s executives, including ETH bull Mike Novogratz, are betting Ethereum’s programmability will spell future investment success.

GTMOBlob: Ein Blockchain-basiertes Ökosystem für die medizinische Versorgung
Derzeit werden alle medizinischen Informationssysteme mit Blick auf medizinische Einrichtungen verwaltet und betrieben. Um die Privatsphäre der Patienten zu schützen, ist die Weitergabe und der Austausch von Informationen außerhalb medizinischer Einrichtungen grundsätzlich nicht erlaubt, mit Ausnahme von Patienten, die den Zugang und die Einsicht in ihre persönlichen Daten beantragen. Ein solches einrichtungsorientiertes System zur Verwaltung medizinischer Patienteninformationen führt unweigerlich zu einer Fragmentierung medizinischer Daten zwischen verschiedenen Krankenhäusern, und die Fragmentierung medizinischer Daten verringert die Qualität medizinischer Dienstleistungen. Der steigende Bedarf an medizinischen Informationen im Bereich der medizinischen Forschung und der…
