澳洲即將推出貨比特幣 ETF，加入加密貨幣採用運動

澳洲領先的證券交易所 ASX 計劃在今年年底前批准多個現貨比特幣 ETF。在美國和香港獲得類似批准後，VanEck Australia 和 BetaShares 的申請引發了人們的興趣。預計比特幣 ETF 的需求將來自基金經理人、自營超級基金投資者和散戶投資者，前三年潛在淨流入 3-40 億美元。

Australia Primed for Bitcoin ETF Launch, Poised to Join Global Wave of Crypto Adoption

澳洲準備推出比特幣 ETF，準備加入全球加密貨幣採用浪潮

Australia's financial landscape is poised for a significant breakthrough as the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), the nation's premier stock exchange, is set to approve several spot Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded funds (ETFs) by year's end. This eagerly anticipated move follows the successful launches of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States and Hong Kong, signaling a growing global embrace of cryptocurrency investing.

澳洲的金融格局有望實現重大突破，澳洲證券交易所（ASX）作為全國首屈一指的證券交易所，將於年底前批准多個現貨比特幣（BTC）交易所交易基金（ETF）。繼美國和香港成功推出比特幣 ETF 之後，這項備受期待的舉措標誌著全球越來越多地接受加密貨幣投資。

Sources close to the matter have confided in Bloomberg that applications from fund issuers VanEck Australia and local ETF specialist BetaShares are poised for approval before the year's close. This surge in spot Bitcoin ETF applications mirrors the recent greenlighting of Bitcoin ETFs in the United States, which have swiftly amassed an impressive $53 billion in assets under management (AUM) across eleven distinct products.

知情人士向彭博社透露，基金發行人 VanEck Australia 和當地 ETF 專家 BetaShares 的申請預計將在今年年底前獲得批准。現貨比特幣 ETF 申請的激增反映了美國最近對比特幣 ETF 的批准，這些 ETF 的 11 種不同產品的管理資產 (AUM) 迅速積累了令人印象深刻的 530 億美元。

Justin Arzadon, BetaShares' Head of Digital, attributes the surge in interest to the resounding success of U.S.-based products, which have instilled confidence in the viability of launching similar offerings in Australia. "These inflows demonstrate that digital assets are here to stay," Arzadon asserts.

BetaShares 數位主管 Justin Arzadon 將興趣激增歸因於美國產品的巨大成功，這讓人們對在澳洲推出類似產品的可行性充滿信心。 Arzadon 斷言：“這些資金流入表明數字資產將繼續存在。”

In an exclusive interview with Cointelegraph, Jeff Yew, CEO of crypto asset management firm Monochrome, which has submitted an application with a competing exchange, paints a compelling picture of Australia's crypto-centric landscape. He characterizes Australia as a "very crypto-heavy country" and anticipates that Australian spot Bitcoin ETFs will generate a staggering $3 billion to $4 billion in net inflows within the initial three years.

加密資產管理公司 Monochrome 的執行長 Jeff Yew 在接受 Cointelegraph 的獨家採訪時，向競爭對手的交易所提交了一份申請，描繪了一幅澳洲以加密貨幣為中心的景觀。他將澳洲描述為“加密貨幣非常密集的國家”，並預計澳洲現貨比特幣 ETF 將在最初三年內產生驚人的 30 億至 40 億美元的淨流入。

Yew attributes the anticipated demand for Bitcoin ETFs to a trifecta of investor groups: fund managers seeking Bitcoin exposure, self-managed super fund (SMSF) investors, and a sizable albeit smaller contingent of retail investors.

Yew 將比特幣 ETF 的預期需求歸因於三個投資者群體：尋求比特幣投資的基金經理、自我管理超級基金（SMSF）投資者以及規模雖小但規模相當大的散戶投資者。

Yew highlights the inherent risks associated with SMSF investors holding direct Bitcoin exposure on crypto exchanges, describing it as a "ticking time bomb" in the event of an exchange collapse. He emphasizes that Bitcoin ETFs provide these investors with a safer, heavily regulated avenue for exposure to digital assets.

Yew 強調了 SMSF 投資者在加密貨幣交易所直接持有比特幣的固有風險，稱其為交易所崩潰時的「定時炸彈」。他強調，比特幣 ETF 為這些投資者提供了更安全、受到嚴格監管的數位資產投資途徑。

Monochrome initially submitted an application for a spot Bitcoin ETF with the ASX on July 14, 2021, but subsequently shifted its focus to Cboe Australia, a smaller exchange, due to the protracted approval process at the ASX.

Monochrome 最初於 2021 年 7 月 14 日向澳洲證券交易所提交了現貨比特幣 ETF 申請，但由於澳洲證券交易所的審批流程曠日持久，隨後將其重點轉移到規模較小的交易所 Cboe Australia。

"We switched to Cboe because it offers a more realistic time frame and a more transparent listing framework," Yew explains. "The challenges the ASX has faced with the regulator lately are no secret. Their appetite for new product approvals seems limited."

「我們轉向芝加哥期權交易所是因為它提供了更現實的時間框架和更透明的上市框架，」Yew 解釋道。 “澳洲證券交易所最近面臨監管機構的挑戰已不是什麼秘密。他們對新產品批准的興趣似乎有限。”

Yew remains confident that Cboe Australia will approve his firm's application "within the next few weeks."

Yew 仍然相信澳洲芝加哥期權交易所將在「未來幾週內」批准其公司的申請。

Experts believe that the imminent approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs in Australia will further propel the nation's crypto adoption journey. These ETFs will offer investors a convenient and regulated way to gain exposure to Bitcoin, mirroring the growing trend witnessed globally. As the world embraces the transformative power of digital assets, Australia is poised to take its rightful place as a leading player in this burgeoning industry.

專家認為，澳洲即將批准現貨比特幣 ETF，將進一步推動該國的加密貨幣採用之旅。這些 ETF 將為投資者提供一種便捷且受監管的方式來投資比特幣，反映了全球不斷增長的趨勢。隨著世界擁抱數位資產的變革力量，澳洲已準備好在這個新興產業中佔據應有的領先地位。
