Members of Morgan Creek personally fund their part of the bet and will not use any money from the fund, even if they have not put in place any guarantees that will follow the bet if they can find a buyer.

However, worryingly for Morgan Creek, one of the biggest bets on bitcoin seems to be about to lose.
A call option on the $ 50,000 bitcoin price, bought for almost $ 1 million on LedgerX's trading platform a few days after the bitcoin peak a year ago, is running out. For the & nbsp; contract to withhold & nbsp; any & nbsp; value when expires & nbsp; December & nbsp; 28, bitcoin would need & nbsp; rally & nbsp; around 1,200%, according to a Bloomberg report.
Morgan Creek, co-founded by the former Head of Investment of the University of North Carolina endowment Mark Yusko, has created its indexed fund with Bitwise, a US provider of cryptographic index and beta investment funds.
