隨著監管機構清除重大障礙，比特幣 ETF 受到關注

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已批准具有生態意識的 7RCC 比特幣 ETF 在紐約證券交易所 Arca 交易所上市。

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has approved a rule change enabling 7RCC to list and trade its Spot Bitcoin and Carbon Credit Futures ETF on the NYSE Arca exchange.

美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 已批准一項規則變更，使 7RCC 能夠在紐約證券交易所 Arca 交易所上市和交易其現貨比特幣和碳信用期貨 ETF。

This decision follows 7RCC's initial prospectus filing in December 2023 for a Bitcoin ETF pegged to the spot price, marking nearly a year of anticipation. During its review process, which commenced in March, the application underwent four amendments.

這項決定是在 7RCC 於 2023 年 12 月提交了與現貨價格掛鉤的比特幣 ETF 的初始招股說明書之後做出的，這標誌著近一年的預期。在三月開始的審查過程中，該申請經歷了四次修改。

The fund will allocate 80% of its assets to Bitcoin and 20% to financial instruments linked to Carbon Credit Futures, according to the SEC filing. These futures will be based on indices tied to environmental initiatives, such as the European Union Emissions Trading System, the California Carbon Allowance, and the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative.

根據美國證券交易委員會的文件，該基金將把 80% 的資產分配給比特幣，20% 分配給與碳信用期貨相關的金融工具。這些期貨將基於與環境倡議相關的指數，例如歐盟排放交易體系、加州碳配額和區域溫室氣體倡議。

“The Fund will gain exposure to these Carbon Credit Futures only by investing directly in only such futures contracts. The Fund does not intend to invest in Carbon Credit Futures specifically linked to bitcoin mining or other related processes,” The SEC wrote in the filing.

「該基金只能透過直接投資此類期貨合約來獲得這些碳信用期貨的曝險。該基金無意投資與比特幣挖礦或其他相關流程專門相關的碳信用期貨，」美國證券交易委員會在文件中寫道。

Moreover, these carbon credit futures are financial tools that enable trading based on the anticipated value of carbon credits, facilitating the management of regulatory risks while supporting environmentally responsible investing. Notably, Gemini will serve as the custodian of 7RCC's Bitcoin holdings.

此外，這些碳信用期貨是一種金融工具，可以根據碳信用的預期價值進行交易，促進監管風險的管理，同時支持對環境負責的投資。值得注意的是，Gemini 將擔任 7RCC 所持有比特幣的託管人。

In a related development, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission's (CFTC) Division of Clearing and Risk announced that it no longer oversees clearing for spot Bitcoin ETFs options.

在相關進展中，商品期貨交易委員會 (CFTC) 清算和風險部門宣布不再監督現貨比特幣 ETF 選擇權的清算。

This responsibility now falls under the jurisdiction of the Options Clearing Corporation (OCC), which handles all clearing and settlement for equity options.

這項責任現在屬於選擇權清算公司（OCC）的管轄範圍，該公司負責處理股票選擇權的所有清算和結算。

This announcement marks a significant development in the launch of spot Bitcoin ETF options, which have been eagerly anticipated by the financial industry.

這項公告標誌著比特幣ETF現貨選擇權推出的重大進展，一直受到金融業的熱切期待。

Among those closely following this matter is Bloomberg Senior ETF Analyst Eric Balchunas, who highlighted the importance of the CFTC's notice in facilitating this launch.

彭博社高級 ETF 分析師 Eric Balchunas 是密切關注此事的人士之一，他強調了 CFTC 的通知對於促進此次推出的重要性。

“The CFTC just dropped a notice clearing the way for spot bitcoin ETF options to be listed. This is the second hurdle they needed to clear after the SEC. Ball now in OCC’s court and they’ll probably list very soon,” Balchunas stated in a recent tweet.

「CFTC 剛剛發布了一份通知，為現貨比特幣 ETF 選擇權上市掃清了道路。這是繼 SEC 之後他們需要清除的第二個障礙。鮑爾現在在 OCC 的法庭上，他們可能很快就會上市，」巴爾丘納斯在最近的一條推文中表示。

These developments underscore the growing regulatory support for innovative financial instruments, paving the way for expanded investment opportunities in both cryptocurrency and sustainable markets.

這些發展凸顯了監管對創新金融工具日益增長的支持，為擴大加密貨幣和永續市場的投資機會鋪平了道路。
