隨著機構對數位資產的興趣持續增長，比特幣 ETF 流入創紀錄的 6B 美元

隨著機構對數位資產的興趣持續增長，比特幣交易所交易基金 (ETF) 的流入量超過 60 億美元。

Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw a remarkable year in 2021, attracting a record-breaking $14.46 billion in inflows as institutional interest in digital assets continued to surge.

比特幣交易所交易基金（ETF）在 2021 年經歷了非凡的一年，隨著機構對數位資產的興趣持續飆升，吸引了創紀錄的 144.6 億美元資金流入。

According to data from Farside Investors, the inflows into Bitcoin ETFs began gathering steam in the second half of the year, reaching new heights with each passing month. The year kicked off with modest inflows of $390 million in January, which gradually increased to $760 million by March.

Farside Investors 的數據顯示，比特幣 ETF 的資金流入在今年下半年開始加速，每個月都達到新的高度。今年伊始，1 月的流入量為 3.9 億美元，到 3 月逐漸增加至 7.6 億美元。

However, the inflows began to accelerate significantly in the latter half of the year, reaching $2.22 billion in August, $3.28 billion in September, and culminating in a staggering $6.16 billion in November. This surge in inflows was driven by a combination of factors, including Bitcoin’s strong price performance, increased institutional adoption, and the approval of several new Bitcoin ETFs by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

然而，下半年資金流入開始顯著加速，8月達到22.2億美元，9月達到32.8億美元，11月達到驚人的61.6億美元。資金流入激增是由多種因素推動的，包括比特幣強勁的價格表現、機構採用率的提高以及美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 批准了幾隻新的比特幣 ETF。

Bitcoin began the year trading around $33,600, slowly gathering momentum and breaking through the $40,000 resistance level by March. A period of consolidation followed as the cryptocurrency hovered around the $50,000 to $60,000 range throughout the spring.

比特幣今年年初的交易價格約為 33,600 美元，慢慢積聚動力，並在 3 月突破了 40,000 美元的阻力位。接下來是一段整合期，整個春季加密貨幣價格一直徘徊在 5 萬至 6 萬美元之間。

But the second half of the year brought renewed enthusiasm, pushing Bitcoin to new all-time highs. Surging past the $80,000 mark in September, Bitcoin continued its ascent, briefly crossing $98,000 in early November before setting a new all-time high of $99,500 on November 22.

但下半年又帶來了新的熱情，將比特幣推向歷史新高。比特幣在 9 月飆升至 8 萬美元大關後，繼續上漲，並在 11 月初短暫突破 98,000 美元，然後在 11 月 22 日創下 99,500 美元的歷史新高。

Meanwhile, the institutional adoption of Bitcoin also reached new heights in 2021. Several major financial institutions, including Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs, began offering their clients exposure to Bitcoin through trusts and other investment products.

同時，機構對比特幣的採用也在 2021 年達到了新的高度。

At the same time, a growing number of hedge funds and family offices allocated significant portions of their portfolios to digital assets. This institutional interest played a crucial role in driving the record-breaking inflows into Bitcoin ETFs throughout the year.

同時，越來越多的對沖基金和家族辦公室將其投資組合的很大一部分分配給數位資產。這種機構興趣在推動全年比特幣 ETF 資金流入破紀錄方面發揮了至關重要的作用。

Furthermore, the approval of several new Bitcoin ETFs by the SEC in 2021 was another key factor contributing to the massive inflows. After years of waiting and several failed attempts, the SEC finally greenlighted the ProShares Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BITO) in October, followed by the approval of the VanEck Bitcoin Strategy ETF (XBT) and the Valkyrie Bitcoin Strategy ETF (BTF) in November.

此外，美國證券交易委員會 (SEC) 在 2021 年批准了幾隻新的比特幣 ETF，這是導致大量資金流入的另一個關鍵因素。經過多年的等待和多次失敗的嘗試，美國證券交易委員會最終於10 月批准了ProShares 比特幣策略ETF (BITO)，隨後又於11 月批准了VanEck 比特幣策略ETF (XBT) 和Valkyrie 比特幣策略ETF (BTF)。

These new ETFs provided greater options and accessibility for investors seeking exposure to Bitcoin through the traditional financial markets.

這些新的 ETF 為尋求透過傳統金融市場投資比特幣的投資者提供了更多選擇和便利。

As we head into 2022, the outlook for Bitcoin ETFs remains promising. With Bitcoin continuing its ascent toward the $100,000 mark and institutional demand showing no signs of slowing down, we can expect to see further inflows and new developments in the coming year.

進入 2022 年，比特幣 ETF 的前景仍然樂觀。隨著比特幣繼續向 10 萬美元大關攀升，且機構需求沒有放緩的跡象，我們預計來年將看到更多資金流入和新發展。
