The Bitcoin Research Institute will open in August as part of the University of Wyoming’s College of Arts and Sciences.
The University of Wyoming is launching the UW Bitcoin Research Institute in August. The new institute aims to provide “high-quality peer-reviewed” studies about Bitcoin.
Bradley Rettler, a Bitcoin activist and Associate Professor at the University of Wyoming, announced the new institute on X on July 28. He will serve as the institute’s director.
Rettler described the current state of Bitcoin (BTC) research as “poor” and stressed the industry needs more “high-quality peer-reviewed” publications to ensure the public is properly informed about what Bitcoin is and how it works.
