現貨比特幣 ETF 即將獲批，澳洲加密貨幣市場將飆升

澳洲的金融中心澳洲證券交易所（ASX）即將批准該國首個現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）。此舉有可能在未來三年內帶來 30-40 億美元的淨流入激增，從而提振澳洲蓬勃發展的加密貨幣市場，並為投資者提供受監管的比特幣投資機會。

Australia's Crypto Market to Surge with Anticipated Approval of Spot Bitcoin ETFs

現貨比特幣 ETF 預計將獲得批准，澳洲加密貨幣市場將飆升

Australia's preeminent stock exchange, the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX), stands poised to grant its blessing to the first spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This momentous development holds the potential to unleash a veritable flood of $3 to $4 billion in initial inflows over the ensuing three years, further solidifying Australia's position as a formidable force in the global crypto market landscape.

澳洲卓越的證券交易所－澳洲證券交易所（ASX）即將批准首個現貨比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）。這項重大發展有可能在接下來的三年內釋放大量 3 至 40 億美元的初始資金流入，進一步鞏固澳洲作為全球加密貨幣市場格局中強大力量的地位。

Following in the footsteps of their counterparts in the United States and Hong Kong, Australia's leading ETF issuers, VanEck Australia and BetaShares, have submitted applications for Bitcoin ETFs, which are now anticipated to receive the green light from the ASX before the year's end, according to confidential sources.

跟隨美國和香港同行的腳步，澳洲領先的 ETF 發行人 VanEck Australia 和 BetaShares 已提交比特幣 ETF 申請，目前預計將在年底前獲得澳洲證券交易所的批准。

The upsurge in applications for spot Bitcoin ETFs mirrors a similar trend in the United States, where the approval of Bitcoin ETFs has resulted in a staggering $53 billion in assets under management (AUM) across a diverse portfolio of eleven distinct products.

現貨比特幣 ETF 申請的激增反映了美國的類似趨勢，比特幣 ETF 的批准導致 11 種不同產品的多樣化投資組合的管理資產 (AUM) 達到驚人的 530 億美元。

The substantial inflows into these U.S.-based products have instilled confidence within the industry, prompting companies to venture into the Australian market and "demonstrate that digital assets are here to endure," as expressed by Justin Arzadon, BetaShares' Head of Digital.

BetaShares 數位主管 Justin Arzadon 表示，這些美國產品的大量資金流入為該行業注入了信心，促使公司冒險進入澳洲市場，並「證明數位資產將經久不衰」。

In an interview with Cointelegraph, Jeff Yew, CEO of the crypto asset management firm Monochrome, which has also submitted an application to a rival exchange, characterized Australia as a "crypto-heavy nation," projecting that Australian spot Bitcoin ETFs will attract a staggering $3 billion to $4 billion in net inflows within the first three years.

加密資產管理公司Monochrome 的執行長Jeff Yew 在接受Cointelegraph 採訪時將澳洲描述為“加密貨幣重國家”，預計澳洲現貨比特幣ETF 將吸引大量投資者，該公司也向競爭對手交易所提交了申請。

Yew attributed the anticipated demand for Bitcoin ETFs to a confluence of factors, including the desire of fund managers to gain exposure to Bitcoin, the needs of self-managed super fund (SMSF) investors, and a more moderate but still significant interest from retail investors.

Yew將對比特幣ETF的預期需求歸因於多種因素的綜合作用，包括基金經理獲得比特幣投資的願望、自我管理超級基金（SMSF）投資者的需求，以及散戶投資者較為溫和但仍顯著的興趣。

Presently, SMSF investors engage directly with crypto exchanges to acquire Bitcoin, an approach that Yew deems inherently risky and akin to a "ticking time bomb" in the event of an exchange failure.

目前，SMSF 投資者直接與加密貨幣交易所接觸來購買比特幣，Yew 認為這種方法本質上是有風險的，在交易所失敗時類似於「定時炸彈」。

"The Australian Taxation Office reports that over $1 billion worth of crypto is held on exchanges, with the lion's share belonging to SMSF investors," he stated.

他表示：“澳洲稅務局報告稱，交易所持有價值超過 10 億美元的加密貨幣，其中大部分屬於 SMSF 投資者。”

In contrast to this precarious method, Bitcoin ETFs offer these investors a carefully regulated and hence more secure avenue to access digital assets, Yew emphasized.

Yew 強調，與這種不穩定的方法相反，比特幣 ETF 為這些投資者提供了一個受到嚴格監管、因此更安全的獲取數位資產的途徑。

Monochrome initially submitted its application for a spot Bitcoin ETF with the ASX on July 14, 2018. However, due to the ASX's protracted approval process, the company shifted its application to Cboe Australia, a considerably smaller exchange.

Monochrome 最初於2018 年7 月14 日向澳洲證券交易所提交了現貨比特幣ETF 申請。 (Cboe Australia)。

"We made the switch because Cboe offers a more realistic time frame for approval and a more transparent listing framework," Yew explained.

「我們做出這一轉變是因為芝加哥期權交易所提供了更現實的審批時間框架和更透明的上市框架，」Yew 解釋道。

"It's no secret that the ASX has faced challenges with the regulator lately," Yew added, attributing the exchange's slow pace of innovation to a perceived limited appetite for introducing new products.

Yew 補充說：「澳洲證券交易所最近面臨監管機構的挑戰，這已不是什麼秘密。」他將該交易所創新步伐緩慢歸因於人們對推出新產品的興趣有限。

Yew expressed optimism that Cboe Australia would approve his firm's application "within the next few weeks."

尤對澳洲芝加哥期權交易所將「在未來幾週內」批准其公司的申請表示樂觀。

This anticipated approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs by the ASX marks a pivotal moment for Australia's crypto market. It is poised to inject billions of dollars into the ecosystem, bolstering the country's reputation as a hub for digital asset innovation and attracting a wider spectrum of investors to the burgeoning crypto landscape.

澳洲證券交易所預計將批准現貨比特幣 ETF，這標誌著澳洲加密貨幣市場的關鍵時刻。它準備向該生態系統注入數十億美元，提升該國作為數位資產創新中心的聲譽，並吸引更廣泛的投資者進入蓬勃發展的加密貨幣領域。
