儘管自2017年以來避免了加密貨幣的報告，但高盛在2024年的年度報告中寫道，加密貨幣現在已成為金融市場中的一支力量。

電子交易的增長以及引入新產品和技術（包括加密貨幣和AI技術）在內的新產品和技術的競爭已經增加了競爭。

Despite avoiding the term crypto in its reports since 2017, Goldman Sachs, a renowned Wall Street investment bank, noted in its 2024 annual report that cryptocurrencies had become a force within the financial markets.

儘管自2017年以來避免了加密貨幣一詞，但著名的華爾街投資銀行高盛（Goldman Sachs）在2024年的年度報告中指出，加密貨幣已成為金融市場中的一支力量。

“The growth of electronic trading,” wrote Goldman Sachs, “and the introduction of new products and technologies, including trading and distributed ledger technologies, such as cryptocurrencies and AI technologies, has increased competition.”

高盛（Goldman Sachs）寫道：“電子交易的增長，以及包括加密貨幣和AI技術等新產品和技術的引入，包括交易和分佈式分類帳技術，也增加了競爭。”

The bank did not mention crypto from 2017 to 2023 until this year. There have been many reasons for the bank to consider Bitcoin, from market conditions beating previous highs to the announcement of Bitcoin ETFs and Trump’s pro-crypto administration. Given recent events, it would be difficult for the investment bank to remain silent on crypto.

該銀行從2017年到2023年才提及加密貨幣。該銀行考慮比特幣的原因有很多，從市場條件勝過以前的高點到宣布比特幣ETF和特朗普的Pro-Crypto政府。考慮到最近的事件，投資銀行很難對加密貨幣保持沉默。

“We also compete”, wrote Goldman Sachs, “on the basis of the types of financial products and client experiences that we and our competitors offer. In some circumstances, our competitors may offer financial products that we do not offer and that our clients may prefer, including cryptocurrencies and other digital assets that we cannot or may choose not to provide”.

高盛薩克斯寫道：“我們也競爭了，基於我們和我們的競爭對手提供的金融產品和客戶體驗的類型。在某些情況下，我們的競爭對手可能會提供我們不提供的金融產品，並且我們的客戶可能更喜歡，包括加密貨幣和其他我們不能或可能不提供的數字資產”。

The annual report suggests Goldman Sachs is losing customers to banks that offer more crypto services. The bank has started to invest in crypto assets but remains cautious about digital assets like Bitcoin. In 2021, Goldman Sachs introduced a crypto trading desk; in 2022, it introduced a digital assets platform.

年度報告表明，高盛（Goldman Sachs）正在為提供更多加密服務的銀行失去客戶。該銀行已經開始投資加密資產，但對像比特幣這樣的數字資產保持謹慎。 2021年，高盛（Goldman Sachs）推出了一家加密貨幣台。在2022年，它引入了數字資產平台。

In 2024, Goldman Sachs raised its crypto ETF holdings from $744 million in the third quarter to $2.05 billion in the fourth quarter. The bank also increased its Bitcoin ETF holdings by 15%. The bank has taken an interest in the blockchain industry, being one of the few banks to invest in the Canton network, using blockchain technology to improve financial record keeping.

2024年，高盛（Goldman Sachs）將其加密ETF股份從第三季度的7.44億美元提高到第四季度的20.5億美元。該銀行還將其比特幣ETF持有量增加了15％。該銀行對區塊鏈行業產生了興趣，這是使用區塊鏈技術來改善財務記錄的少數幾家投資廣州網絡的銀行之一。

The 2024 annual report for Goldman Sachs showed positive results with a Return on Equity (ROE) of 12.7%. Earnings per share jumped by 77%. And shareholder return soared by 52%. With a strong annual report, Goldman Sachs offered cautionary words concerning crypto: “Although the prevalence and scope of applications of distributed ledger technology, cryptocurrency, and similar technologies are growing, the technology is nascent and may be vulnerable to cyber-attacks or have other inherent weaknesses.”

高盛的2024年年度報告顯示了積極的結果，股本回報率（ROE）為12.7％。每股收益躍升了77％。股東的回報飆升了52％。有了強有力的年度報告，高盛（Goldman Sachs）提供了有關加密貨幣的警告性詞：“儘管分佈式分類帳技術，加密貨幣和類似技術的應用範圍和應用的範圍和範圍正在增長，但該技術卻很新生，但可能易受網絡攻擊或其他固有弱點。”

However, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) reported that Goldman Sachs has a substantial holding in Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, exceeding $1 billion in assets, showing a strong desire by the investment bank to embrace digital assets. This cannot be an accident or some side project because, despite the criticism of crypto, Goldman Sachs has taken a substantial holding in the asset, suggesting that they are taking crypto’s popularity and widespread adoption seriously.

但是，美國證券交易委員會（SEC）報告說，高盛在比特幣和以太坊ETF中擁有大量持有，超過了10億美元的資產，表明投資銀行對接受數字資產的強烈願望。這不是一個事故或某個附帶項目，因為儘管批評了加密貨幣，但高盛（Goldman Sachs）還是對資產進行了大量持有，這表明他們正在認真對待加密貨幣的知名度並認真地採用了廣泛的採用。

Investors may be more interested in crypto after a large bank like Goldman Sachs makes a substantial investment. The bank is less likely to make impulsive decisions and will hold onto the asset for a longer period, adding to accumulated funds rather than making risky short-term gains. Other institutional buyers may ride the coattails of Goodman Sachs and further deplete the finite amount of Bitcoin in the market, further boosting the prices and promoting crypto amongst the investment community.

在像高盛這樣的大型銀行進行大量投資之後，投資者可能對加密貨幣更感興趣。該銀行不太可能做出衝動的決定，並將在更長的時間內保留資產，從而增加了累積資金，而不是帶來風險的短期收益。其他機構買家可能會乘坐古德曼·薩克斯（Goodman Sachs）的高級牛排，並進一步耗盡市場上有限的比特幣，進一步提高價格並促進投資界的加密貨幣。

Most of Goldman Sachs’s crypto holdings were in Bitcoin and a lesser amount in Ethereum. Most of its Bitcoin holdings are in BlackRock’s iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT), with Goldman Sachs owning 24 million shares. The investment includes Fidelity’s Wise Origin Bitcoin Trust (FBTC) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC).

高盛的大多數加密貨幣持有物中的大部分都是比特幣，以太坊的數量較低。它的大部分比特幣持有量都在貝萊德的iShares比特幣信託基金（IBIT）中，高盛擁有2400萬股股票。這項投資包括Fidelity的明智來源比特幣信託（FBTC）和灰度比特幣信託（GBTC）。

Goldman Sachs’ increased interest in crypto, as evidenced by their mention of the digital asset in their recent annual report, shows a positive trend amongst traditional investors. Bitcoin is often viewed as analogous to gold, a store of value to hedge against market volatility. Ethereum provides access to Decentralized Finance (DeFi) and other blockchain applications. As the market matures and survives short-term bubbles, more and more investors may take a long-term interest in the new asset.

高盛對加密貨幣的興趣增加，這在他們最近的年度報告中提到了數字資產，這表明傳統投資者的積極趨勢。比特幣經常被視為類似於黃金，這是對沖市場波動的價值存儲。以太坊提供了對分散融資（DEFI）和其他區塊鏈應用程序的訪問權限。隨著市場的成熟和生存，短期泡沫，越來越多的投資者可能會對新資產產生長期利益。
