AMP 採用比特幣，使其成為第一個進軍加密貨幣市場的澳洲主要超級基金

澳洲最大的超級基金 AMP 已將投資組合中的 2,700 萬美元投資於比特幣，使其成為第一個進軍加密貨幣市場的主要基金。

Australia’s largest super fund, AMP, has announced a $27 million investment in Bitcoin, becoming the first major fund to directly enter the cryptocurrency market.

澳洲最大的超級基金 AMP 宣布投資 2,700 萬美元比特幣，成為第一支直接進入加密貨幣市場的大型基金。

The move by AMP comes despite skepticism from some quarters, including Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) Governor Michele Bullock, who has expressed doubts about cryptocurrency’s role in the Australian economy.

儘管有些人持懷疑態度，包括澳洲儲備銀行 (RBA) 行長米歇爾·布洛克 (Michele Bullock)，他對加密貨幣在澳洲經濟中的作用表示懷疑，但 AMP 仍採取了這一舉措。

However, AMP said its dynamic asset allocation process identified Bitcoin’s strong market momentum and sentiment, which were key drivers in the decision to diversify.

然而，AMP 表示，其動態資產配置流程確定了比特幣強勁的市場動力和情緒，這是做出多元化決定的關鍵驅動因素。

According to reports, the investment was made in May, when Bitcoin was trading between $60,000 and $70,000. The allocation represents 0.05% of AMP’s $57 billion in assets, as per AMP chief investment officer Anna Shelley, and fits within a broader diversification strategy.

據報道，這筆投資是在 5 月進行的，當時比特幣的交易價格在 6 萬至 7 萬美元之間。 AMP 首席投資長 Anna Shelley 表示，此次配置佔 AMP 570 億美元資產的 0.05%，符合更廣泛的多元化策略。

Bitcoin’s latest rally to $100,000 per coin marks the pivot, as the market bull run was driven by Donald Trump’s re-election and his new administration’s crypto-friendly stance.

比特幣最近漲至每枚 10 萬美元標誌著市場的轉折點，因為市場牛市是由唐納德·川普的連任及其新政府對加密貨幣友好的立場推動的。

Despite the risks involved, the fund has “taken the plunge,” according to Steve Flegg, Senior Portfolio Manager at AMP, who shared the news on LinkedIn. He said cryptocurrency was simply too large to ignore in terms of growth and potential.

AMP 高級投資組合經理 Steve Flegg 在 LinkedIn 上分享了這一消息，他表示，儘管存在風險，但該基金還是「冒險」了。他表示，就成長和潛力而言，加密貨幣太大了，不容忽視。

Other super funds are considering a range of approaches. AustralianSuper is reportedly focusing on blockchain technology and indirect investments in companies that use it, while confirming that it has no current plans to invest directly in cryptocurrencies.

其他超級基金正在考慮一系列方法。據報道，AustralianSuper 專注於區塊鏈技術以及對使用該技術的公司的間接投資，同時確認目前沒有直接投資加密貨幣的計劃。

Meanwhile, Australian Retirement Trust and retail super giant MLC have expressed some interest but are proceeding with caution. According to the AFR report, they do not intend to follow AMP’s lead.

與此同時，澳洲退休信託基金和零售巨頭 MLC 已表達了一些興趣，但仍謹慎行事。據 AFR 報道，他們並不打算跟隨 AMP 的腳步。

According to Shelley, the current allocation is at the upper limit for this asset class, but the fund will monitor its holdings closely. Those invested in AMP’s balanced and growth options will have the greatest exposure to Bitcoin at the customer level.

雪萊表示，目前的配置處於該資產類別的上限，但該基金將密切監控其持有量。那些投資於 AMP 平衡和成長選項的人將在客戶層面擁有最大的比特幣曝險。

Recently, ASIC (Australian Securities and Investments Commission) announced an expansion of its regulatory framework for cryptocurrency. The move is designed to protect consumers while fostering responsible innovation in the crypto sector.

最近，ASIC（澳洲證券和投資委員會）宣布擴大其加密貨幣監管框架。此舉旨在保護消費者，同時促進加密產業負責任的創新。
