What are the latest developments in Filecoin?
Last week, asset manager and Web 3.0 data storage provider Holon partnered with Gemini to provide Australia with its first retail Bitcoin, Ethereum and Filecoin funds.

According to Holon, the Filecoin Fund is the first retail-managed investment program for digital assets other than Bitcoin and Ethereum registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

The affiliation with world-class universities such as Harvard and the launch of solo FIL funds are cited as a testament to Filecoin’s growing popularity.
