Abra 收購 Valkyrie 的私人加密貨幣信託，並以 8,210 萬美元和解

- 加密貨幣交易平台 Abra 表示，它已從 Valkyrie Investments 收購了數個私人加密貨幣信託基金，不久前，該平台與 25 個美國州金融監管機構就無適當許可證運營問題達成和解。

Cryptocurrency trading platform Abra has acquired several private cryptocurrency trusts from Valkyrie Investments, according to a statement from Abra.

根據 Abra 的聲明，加密貨幣交易平台 Abra 已從 Valkyrie Investments 收購了多個私人加密貨幣信託。

Abra Capital Management LP took over a number of active trusts from Valkyrie in May, Abra’s head of asset management Marissa Kim said in an emailed response to questions by Bloomberg News on Friday. The deal included Valkyrie’s Tron and Zilliqa trusts, Kim said, as well as several trusts that have not yet been launched.

Abra 資產管理主管 Marissa Kim 在周五透過電子郵件回覆彭博新聞社提問時表示，Abra Capital Management LP 今年 5 月從 Valkyrie 手中接管了一些活躍信託。 Kim 表示，該交易包括 Valkyrie 的 Tron 和 Zilliqa 信託，以及幾個尚未啟動的信託。

The Zilliqa Trust had sold a total amount of $21.3 million in assets as of October last year, according to a filing by Valkyrie with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Its Tron trust had sold a total of $50 million in assets as of September 2024. The terms of the deal were not made clear.

根據 Valkyrie 向美國證券交易委員會提交的文件，截至去年 10 月，Zilliqa Trust 已出售總額達 2,130 萬美元的資產。截至 2024 年 9 月，其 Tron 信託已出售總計 5,000 萬美元的資產。

“This acquisition will provide ACM with a way to expand its current offering of spot and DeFi products to a new audience of investors,” Kim said. Abra may consider filing to make some of the trusts publicly traded in future, she added, “depending on market appetite.”

Kim 表示：“此次收購將為 ACM 提供一種方式，將其當前的現貨和 DeFi 產品範圍擴大到新的投資者受眾。”她補充說，阿布拉可能會考慮在未來申請讓一些信託公開交易，「這取決於市場胃口」。

Valkyrie didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on the sale.

瓦爾基里沒有立即回應對此次出售發表評論的請求。

Abra settled with a working group of regulators in June over claims it had operated its business without the required state licensing to handle cryptoasset activities. Abra is set to return $82.1 million in cryptoassets to US customers as part of the deal, according to a statement by the Conference of State Bank Supervisors, having already halted offering services in the country last year.

Abra 於 6 月與監管機構工作小組達成和解，稱其在沒有獲得處理加密資產活動所需的國家許可的情況下開展業務。根據國家銀行監管者會議的聲明，Abra 將向美國客戶返還 8,210 萬美元的加密資產，作為交易的一部分，Abra 去年已經停止在美國提供服務。

Abra was accused of securities fraud by a Texas regulator in June 2023. The Texas State Securities Board had alleged that Abra misled investors through sales of two crypto interest account products. It also claimed Abra had been insolvent or nearly insolvent. Texas was among the states included in the settlements last month.

Abra 於 2023 年 6 月被德州監管機構指控犯有證券詐欺行為。它還聲稱阿布拉已經無力償債或幾乎無力償債。德州是上個月納入和解協議的州之一。

Valkyrie has steadily offloaded portions of its business in 2024, including its primary exchange-traded funds business which was sold to CoinShares International Ltd. earlier this year. Its private trusts business had included funds tied to cryptocurrencies like Algorand, Avalanche, BitTorrent, Dash, Polkadot and Bitcoin, according to past SEC filings.

Valkyrie 已在 2024 年穩步出售部分業務，包括今年稍早出售給 CoinShares International Ltd. 的主要交易所交易基金業務。根據過去向 SEC 提交的文件，其私人信託業務包括與 Algorand、Avalanche、BitTorrent、Dash、Polkadot 和比特幣等加密貨幣相關的基金。

Leah Wald, a Valkyrie co-founder and its then-chief executive, resigned from the company last month.
